Meet Faith
Wander & Welcome started in Scotland, summer 2024.
Somewhere between a pot of tea and a castle tour, I turned to my husband and said, “What if I actually did this?”
After years in the corporate event and travel planning world, it felt like a natural — and slightly unhinged — next step. After planning one trip I realized I had a lot more trips in me. And, thus, W&W was born.
I design trips for people who want more than “good.”
Wander & Welcome is born from a desire to create the trips I want to take. These are boutique small-group trips through Scotland and England for people who love beauty, warmth, and the feeling that somebody GETS IT.
It’s curated — but relaxed. Beautiful — but not fussy. Elevated — but approachable.
Before this, I planned events and travel professionally.
Think: high-level logistics, smooth schedules, and experiences that just work. I bring that same polish to these trips — only now, there’s more charm, better playlists, and zero corporate buffets.
A little about me:
I’m that friend who’s extremely particular about - well, everything - hotels, bakeries, and which walk has the best views with the least effort. I obsess over thoughtful details, impeccable food, and hidden gems that don’t show up in every guidebook.
What to expect on a Wander & Welcome trip:
Small groups (6–12 people). Beautiful places. Fascinating locals. Cozy beds. Incredible food. Vibes.
It’s for people who want an experience. Not a checklist.
It’s travel with personality — designed to feel like something you didn’t even know you were missing.
A few highly specific things you should know about me…
Dream guest: GBBO contestant (duh)
I believe a good trip should include at least one completely unnecessary detour that ends up being the highlight.
I will walk 10 minutes out of the way for a must-try bakery. I will also judge the bakery. Lovingly. But seriously.
Things that have my heart: Afternoon tea and tiny spoons
I believe in wool socks, cracked windows, and a fluffy bed at the end of a long day.
I’ve cried over a scenic view. Twice.
I’m organized — like, delightfully nerdy organized — so you don’t have to be. But I’ll never make you feel bad about wanting to skip something and read instead.
Most likely to be found: Whispering lovingly to a pastry
If it has a copper kettle, plaid, or moss — I’ve probably screenshotted it.
✦ Noteworthy Details (But Make Them Fun)
I believe in proper pastries, well-made beds, and never underestimating the healing power of a good walk and a sense of humor.
I have strong opinions about mediocre pastries and weak opinions about how often people should wash their jeans.
I take your time seriously. Because it's not just vacation time — it's real life, and you deserve for it to feel like yours.
✦ What I Really Do
I help curious, beauty-loving humans trade burnout and decision fatigue for beauty, ease, and really good company.
Whether you’re here because you’re tired of planning, or because you never wanted to in the first place — I’ve got you.
Come along. You don’t have to figure it all out. That’s my job now.
Why Scotland? Why the UK?
Look, I didn’t mean to fall this hard for Scotland — but here we are. There’s just something about the Highlands, the moody coastlines, the layered history, and the rain that makes you want to cancel your return flight and write bad poetry in a cottage.
England (and the rest of the UK) is for people who like their countryside with a side of whimsy. Stone villages, gardens that’ll make you cry, and pubs that have been around longer than most countries. It’s where everything feels properly grown-up and delightfully eccentric — like a chic aunt who also talks to her plants.
I plan trips only to places I love deeply. The ones I’ve returned to again and again — where I know the quiet corners, the perfect bakeries, and the best views most people miss.
