About Me

A small-town West Texas girl with a big belief: the world is our playground.

Alana may have grown up in a small town, but she has never believed that the world should feel small. After traveling to 20+ countries across nearly every continent, she has made it her mission to help others experience the world—not just see it.

Whether you’re dreaming of an adventure across the United States, exploring a new country, relaxing on a beautiful beach, or stepping outside your comfort zone for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, Alana wants to be your go-to travel friend who helps make it happen.

Travel isn’t just something Alana does for work—it’s a family affair! Alana, her husband, and their four kids have been traveling together since the kids were tiny. From road trips and family adventures across the U.S. to international journeys around the world, they’ve caught the travel bug and aren’t looking for a cure!
With a Doctorate in Global Leadership, Alana also brings a unique perspective to mission-minded travel. Through her nonprofit work, she leads and consults on how to serve communities around the world in ways that are meaningful, sustainable, and focused on helping without hindering.

Whether you’re…
– A family searching for your next unforgettable adventure
– A couple planning a once-in-a-lifetime journey
– A solo traveler ready to explore somewhere completely new
– A church looking to connect through meaningful missional work

Alana’s got you covered.

Alana would love nothing more than to help you plan your next adventure—because the best trips aren’t just about where you go… They’re about the treasures you find along the way, and stories you’ll tell when you get home.

The world is waiting. Let’s go see it. 🌎
