Born in Chicago, Taylor has called Colorado home for the past decade. She earned a degree in educational studies from Denison University, where her passion for travel deepened through a study abroad program in Senegal. Living with a host family gave her an opportunity to immerse herself in daily life and local culture while gaining a broader perspective on the world.

During college, Taylor spent her summers working at a camp, introducing young people to the outdoors through activities such as kayaking, sailing, canoeing, hiking and overnight camping trips. After graduation, she moved to southern France, where she taught English for two years while exploring Europe and traveling throughout parts of Asia and Africa.

Taylor eventually settled in Colorado and built a career in educational travel, helping others discover new destinations and cultures. Over the past nine years, she has worked closely with travelers while continuing to pursue her own adventures around the world. Her travels have taken her to destinations including Belize, South Africa, Peru, the Galapagos, Vietnam and New Zealand, with wildlife and nature experiences among her favorite highlights.

When she is not traveling, Taylor enjoys hiking, camping and skiing with her husband and goldendoodle. She appreciates the opportunity to combine her love of exploration with helping others experience meaningful travel.
