this is TRAVEL WITH TESS

Hi, I'm Tess - and I've been collecting something most people overlook.

Not souvenirs. Not passport stamps. Relationships.

Twenty years of them, actually. The kind built slowly, carefully - over shared meals and annual visits and the quiet trust that comes from showing up year after year.

Travel isn't just my passion - it's the only thing I've ever really collected, and I believe that those connections are worth sharing.

Here's what I know about modern travel: The ease of our ability to traverse and explore has become second nature. We can research endlessly, bookmark obsessively, scroll through forums at 2am searching for ‘the real hidden gems.’

But sometimes - even when you're excellent at research - you just want someone else to hold the map.

Travel with Tess exists for that moment - when you're tired of curating and ready to trust someone who's spent decades walking these paths before you.
