Hi, I’m Rilee!

From snagging that elusive upgrade to packing your suitcase so savvy it could pass for a magic trick, my mission is simple: I want to make your travel smoother, your vacations richer, and help you embrace the joy of journeying with just the essentials.

After all, true luxury in travel isn’t about how much you pack, but how much you experience — one adventure at a time.

It’s not all passports and packing

(Sometimes there are snacks too!)

When I’m not racking up Delta miles, I’m living in Michigan with my husband and Golden Retriever, Mulligan! If you ever drop by, you’ll find us by the nearest body of water — book and snacks in hand, and Mulligan making waves.

Growing up, I always had an insatiable curiosity and love for storytelling. (Harriet the Spy was MAJOR inspo as a kid!) So, when I began sharing my travel adventures and tips on TikTok in 2020 and discovered a community of like-minded travelers who craved genuine packing advice and travel insights, it lit a fire in me. Turns out, blending travel research, product reviews, and storytelling is exactly my dream job. Who knew, right?
