Stacey is a lifelong planner, an explorer at heart, and someone who finds just as much joy in organizing a trip as actually going on one.

With a background in teaching, libraries and customer service, helping people has always come naturally to her—and now she gets to combine that with her love of travel every single day.

A Louisiana native, Stacey has also lived in Texas and California and now calls North Carolina home. Her journey into the travel industry began when she joined Elizabeth, the owner of Outlander Travel, as an administrative assistant. It didn’t take long for her role to grow, and she now helps plan unforgettable vacations for her clients while also helping manage the day-to-day operations of Outlander Travel.

Her passion for travel took root early. Stacey fondly remembers piling into the family station wagon for road trips to Florida’s beaches, the Grand Canyon, Disneyland, and plenty of camping adventures. She didn’t fly for the first time until high school, on a school trip to San Francisco—but from that point on, she was hooked. After earning her degree in Elementary Education, she and her husband began exploring more of the world. Even later, with a young daughter in tow, they never slowed down.

Walt Disney World became a beloved family tradition, often visiting once or twice a year. But over time, Stacey’s travels expanded much farther. She has visited England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and China. A cruise celebrating her 20th wedding anniversary sparked a new passion, and since then, she has sailed to Alaska, the Mediterranean, and throughout the Caribbean with cruise lines like Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Holland America, Princess, Celebrity, MSC, Disney Cruise Line, and Carnival.

More recently, Stacey has developed a special love for river cruising. She believes it’s one of the best ways to deeply connect with a region’s culture and landscape and has made it a priority to continue learning about this incredible travel experience.

For Stacey, travel isn’t just about the destination, it’s about the memories made and the perspectives gained. Whether it’s a quick weekend escape or the trip of a lifetime, she loves helping her clients discover the joy and meaning that travel can bring.
