About

You Can Plan Your Own Adventure. Yes, You.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU HOW, ONE STEP AT A TIME

Here's something most people never get told... you don't need a travel agent to see the world. You can plan your own trips, pick your own splurges, and skip the parts that don't matter to you.

​The catch? Nobody teaches the hardest part, the planning and designing that happens long before you ever book. That's exactly what I do.

I've found my own way through 30+ countries, deciding where to be frugal and where to splurge, and I'd love to hand you that same freedom. Whether you've been traveling for decades or you're staring down your very first trip, you're in the right place.

And every course does a little good beyond your own suitcase. A portion of each enrollment goes toward funding trips for people who couldn't otherwise go... because that first-morning-in-a-new-city feeling shouldn't be reserved for the lucky few.

 

The world's been waiting. Let's get you out the door.

Meet Staci

YOUR TRAVEL COACH

I've spent my life doing two things I love... working hard and seeing the world. Travel was never just a vacation for me. It's where I feel most alive, most curious, most myself.

And after planning most of those trips on my own, I figured out something worth sharing. The planning isn't the scary part. It's the best part.

I started Awechieve because I kept watching people leave their travel dreams on a shelf. Too overwhelmed by the logistics, or convinced the only option was an overpriced prepackaged deal. It isn't. You can build a trip that's truly yours, for a fraction of what an agent charges, and I can teach you how.

My goal isn't only to get you to your next adventure. It's to do a little good along the way... helping more people out the door, and giving the gift of travel to folks who couldn't otherwise go.

Hello. I'm Staci.

Our Mission

Awechieve teaches you to plan and book your own adventures, so the trip you've been promising yourself stops being "someday" and starts being a date on the calendar.

Our Values

CONFIDENCE, INDEPENDENCE, AND A GUIDE IN YOUR CORNER THE WHOLE WAY.

Empowerment

This is your trip, top to bottom. You pick where to go, what to splurge on, and what to skip... and I'm on the sideline cheering you the whole way.

Community

Travel's better shared. We're building a place for like-minded travelers to trade tips, swap stories, and find each other, so no one skips a trip just for lack of someone to go with.

Learning

If you can navigate the internet, you can learn this. We start at square one and build your confidence one step at a time, whatever your age or comfort with tech.

Celebrate Wisdom

You've earned a lifetime of know-how, and it counts here. There's no expiration date on your first big adventure... or your fortieth.

Adventurous Spirit

The world's too good to watch from the couch. Consider this your nudge past the nerves and toward the thing you keep daydreaming about.

Contribution

The know-how to see the world shouldn't belong to a lucky few. Everyone's welcome here. Every background, every budget.

My Promise To You

Here's my promise. If you can navigate the internet, you can do this. I don't care how "bad with technology" you think you are. That's a story someone else told you, and it isn't true.

We start with the basics and walk through every step together. You get unlimited access for a full year, so you can revisit any segment as many times as you need. And by the time you finish the assignments, you won't just understand how to plan a trip... you'll have built your very first itinerary, start to finish.

The world's yours to explore, on your terms. You've got this.

3 Passions of Mine

Grand Canyon in Arizona.

I had considered becoming an architect before opting for a career in business. When traveling, I am captivated by the architecture of ancient buildings and centuries-old churches. Yet, the beauty of pristine beaches and sweeping panoramas also fascinate me. Both leave me feeling wonderfully small in the best possible way.

Golf

The golf bug bit me in my early twenties; I've been hooked ever since. It's often said that golf is a game played within the five inches between your ears and I've found this to be true. As an optimist who always looks ahead, my best friend and I greet each tee box with our mantra, "A new chance for par."

Dogs

I aim to emulate the love, care, and support that my numerous pups have shown me. My fondness for hound dogs has led me to devote my heart to several beagles, and currently, to a Queen Elizabeth Pocket Beagle named Annabelle. We endearingly refer to her as "Annabelliebutton hounddog weinerbeagle wag-a-tail, BB for short”, and her vigorously wagging tail shows she adores it.

My Favorite Travel Story

I love travel. It makes me feel completely alive. All my senses are engaged and I’m loving life.​

My favorite travel story is one about perfect timing…My two sisters, my best friend and I were at Versailles Palace. We were in the back courtyard waiting for the tram that travels to the other end of the property. It was a decent but cloudy day. The clouds suddenly turned dark. As we got into the tram, the sky opened, and it hailed! We were all carrying umbrellas, so we quickly popped them open to keep the hail from blowing in the open sided tram. We were laughing and decided to take an umbrella pic. By the time we were getting off the tram minutes later, it was like it never happened. The sun was shining and we were too!​
