Since then, Taryn has joined 16 trips in that role, combining her passion for travel with her talent behind the lens.
Taryn's love for travel is all about the outdoors, the thrill of new adventures, and the joy of experiencing cultures both familiar and foreign.

AMELIA
Hi- I’m Amelia Brame! I currently live in London with my favorite humans and am a wannabe Brit with an American passport.
I love volunteering for too many things, my kiddo, sorbet colored sunsets, setting ridiculous reading goals, and torturing my partner with camping trips where I pretend to help put up and take down the tent.
I caught the travel bug as a university student when I went on a study abroad to China. My mind was blown open with awe and knew that I needed to make travel, adventure and learning a huge part of my life. I’ve never looked back. Since then, I’ve traveled to 56 countries and have a low key goal of seeing every country in the whole world. I’m passionate about culture, adventure, convincing others to hike tall mountains with me and joining in on folk dancing in a town square.
I firmly believe in a well planned itinerary but also believe that the best stories come from the most unexpected adventures! Can’t wait to travel with you!
