Meredith Painter

Group travel expert + Domestic travel advisor

Hey! I’m Meredith and I live in NAshville, Tennessee.

I have always been someone who loves exploring new places and trying new things. Being born and raised in the country hills of Tennessee gave me a deep appreciation for nature and the outdoors, but when I moved to Nashville, I fell in love with the energy and excitement of city life.

Studying abroad in Valencia, Spain was a turning point for me. I was able to immerse myself in a new culture and language, try new foods, and make lifelong friends from around the world. That experience sparked a passion for travel that has only grown stronger over time.

One of my proudest goals is to visit all 50 states before I turn 30. While the pandemic has made that goal a bit more challenging, I'm still determined to make it happen. There's something special about exploring new places and discovering all the unique things that make each state so special.

Whether I'm in a big city like New York or a small town like Kansas City, I always make it a point to find the best local spots for food, drinks, and adventure. There's so much to see and do in this world, and I'm grateful for every opportunity to explore and learn something new.


Britannie Wesley

unique travel + Exotic destinations travel advisor

My name is Britannie and I am a wanderlust.

When I grew up I used to dive into all of the encyclopedias and watch movies seeing myself immersed in all the different countries, eating all the home-cooked foods, hiking, and swimming in the most magnificent locations. My first big travel was cross country on the Amtrak, from there any opportunity I got I was on the road.

My real travels came at 19 when I traveled South to the Ocean for the first time. Feeling the breeze and taking in the different cultures only made me want more. I packed up my bags moved to Key West and ordered my passport. Fast forward 15 years later and I am on track to finish the United States with 11 states to go (only overnight and enjoying the state make the list.) 4 Continents and many Caribbean countries. So much more to go but you have to start somewhere.

My son is 6 and my mission every year is to bring him to a new country. I am not rich (yet) but I have figured out the mystery of traveling to fit your needs whatever your needs may be at that point in your life.
