Helping Travelers Discover the Experiences That Make a Destination Truly Special
Traveling Tessie helps travelers explore destinations beyond the typical tourist attractions through itinerary-driven storytelling, unique stays, and authentic experiences.
I love partnering with destinations, boutique hotels, tour companies, and travel brands that offer thoughtful experiences and authentic connections to a place. If your brand helps travelers create memorable moments, we might be a great fit.
Meet Tess
Traveling Tessie was created to inspire travelers to see more than just the highlights of a destination. While famous landmarks can be wonderful, the experiences that often leave the biggest impression are the ones that feel unexpected, personal, and authentic.
My content focuses on helping travelers discover hidden gems near major travel hubs, unique stays that elevate their trip, and meaningful activities that allow them to connect with a destination more deeply. From small Alaska towns surrounded by mountains to European escapes, California wine regions, and natural springs in Florida, I highlight places and experiences that feel memorable rather than crowded.
Every guide and recommendation shared on Traveling Tessie is written from my personal travel experiences, helping readers plan thoughtful trips with confidence.

They enjoy discovering hidden gems near popular destinations, supporting locally owned businesses, and finding unique activities that make their time in a destination truly special.
