Hi! I’m Meaghan, a luxury travel advisor.

I’m also a lifelong writer with a passport full of stamps and a suitcase full of stories. I run Elated Escapes Travel, where I help families, couples, and solo travelers plan custom, unforgettable, immersive trips all over the world. But this little corner of the internet? This is something different.

What is The Amazing Place?

This is a newsletter. It’s a blog. It’s a travel journal. It’s a love letter to the weird, wonderful, beautiful mess of being a traveler in a world where there’s a KFC next to Angkor Wat and a Zara across from the Colosseum.

Here, I share travel tips, inspiration, itineraries, and real stories from the road, like
Best Resort That Nearly Ruined Me for All Other Resorts, Most Underrated Country in Europe, or Place I Would 100% Move If My Husband Would Agree.

These posts are (hopefully) funny, personal, sometimes vulnerable, and always rooted in firsthand experience. I’ve been to more than 40 countries across six continents, and I still believe the most magical moments are the ones you didn’t plan for.
