I help curious people like you walk in the footsteps of their ancestors—literally.

I run Where They Walked, a service that turns your family history into real-world experiences: custom travel itineraries, virtual (video and other digital formats) ancestral tours, and historical context that makes your genealogy research come alive.

How I Got Here

Before launching my travel business, I spent over 20 years in user experience and customer research—helping global brands understand how people think, navigate, and interact. Now, I use those same skills to help travelers explore the past.

I’ve been obsessed with genealogy since my 20s, staying up until 2am chasing names, maps, and migration stories across continents. What started as a hobby became a calling: connecting people with the real places their ancestors once lived, worked, worshipped, and wandered.

Travel by the Numbers

So far: 48 countries on 5 continents

  • 40 US states/territories
  • 5 Australian states
  • 4 Canadian provinces
  • plus 7 countries where I only transited at the airport :)

2 Passports(dual USA-UK citizen) and now a digital nomad

This year started with me still in Australia, traveling to New Zealand, Philippines, Hong Kong and back to England.

In 2024, I traveled from England to Croatia and Slovenia, then to USA, Canada, Fiji and Australia

A Note on Neurodivergence

dI'm late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD—and while that’s not the center of my brand anymore, it’s still part of how I work. If you're also neurodivergent (or just overwhelmed by the idea of planning a trip around obscure family history), I’ve got you.

My approach is flexible, detail-oriented, and designed to support different learning and planning styles. Whether you want me to handle everything, co-create a plan with you, or just point you in the right direction—I'm here.

Let’s Walk Where They Walked

Curious about where your ancestors lived, walked, worshipped, or were buried?
