The Place We Are "We travel not to escape life,
but for life not to escape us." - Anonymous Hi! For us, "the place we are" is where we call home. Golf Outing or Girl's Retreat?

We're James and Mia, a couple of travel lovers who look for the adventure in every day. We are so excited about this New Chapter to our story: offering short-stay vacation services! In addition to hotel, restaurant, catering, and retail experience, between the two of us, we've traveled through 29 countries and 41 of 50 US states. 13 of those states were visited during the 2+ years we were pet sitt

ing, but that's another story...

James apparently has a map built into his brain while Mia has zero sense of direction, but one thing we have in common is the belief that every trip you take is one-of-a-kind, even if you're been there before. That's why, as of 2023, we're focused on designing condo-only vacation experiences for our clients. Even when traveling with loved ones, you still want some personal space. Vacation condos have bigger floorplans, which means separate living and sleeping rooms for more privacy; extra beds for no added cost; kitchens and washer/dryers, plus a shopping list of activities and amenities to keep you entertained! To start, we're also focusing on places we love and often visit: Historic Williamsburg; Virginia Beach; Ocean City, Maryland; Old Town Alexandria, and National Harbor (near Washington, DC.) Second Honeymoon or Ski Weekend? We love to create a package of experiences for our guests. How can we design a vacation for you in a place that feels like home? Feel free to message us before you book!

Our Story

The true-love travel adventure of two people with a lot of curiosity and very little luggage.

We are empty-nesters starting the next chapter of our lives. Since we don’t want to settle down yet, and don’t know where we would want to stay, we’re house and pet sitting around the country while we freelance. For now, home is the place we are.

James is a professional photographer who loves maps and never gets lost. The man apparently has a compass built into his brain. Mia is an award-winning novelist who has no directional sense at all, but she does have a gift for connecting with strangers. What we share is a love of new people, places, and experiences. Between the two of us, we’ve traveled through 29 countries and visited 40 of 50 US States.

Why work with a travel designer? Knowledge. Relationships. Inside Access. Experience.
