“Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends but is played out over and over again in the quietest of chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.”

Lucky enough to be born into a family who loved vacations, Kelly explored many highlights east of the Mississippi in her childhood. Her parents and sisters explored the mountains in Gatlinburg, the beaches of Hilton Head and many, many trips through the parks at Walt Disney World. This ignited a passion for travel that she pushed further in adulthood. Professional travels took her west to Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Houston and so many more great places she’d yet to explore in her own backyard.

A 2013 family trip to Ireland and a 2018 honeymoon to Italy solidified a love for international travel. There is no experience more eye opening than exploring a new country and immersing yourself in their history and culture. After these trips, along with additional ones in the United States, Kelly hung a sign on her wall and in her heart to “Eat Well, Travel Often”.
