Meet Our Team
TARYN DALEY
Founder
With over a decade of expertise in the travel industry, Taryn Daley is passionate about curating unforgettable travel experiences for clients.
Born in Durban, South Africa, and growing up in Northern California, she developed a passion for travel from an early age. She started photographing in 1997, and since then, her travels around the world have taken her to more than 40 countries. During the time of many of her travels, Taryn attended the Ringling School of Art and Design and graduated in 2005 with a degree in Photography and Digital Imaging. She seeks to document my own personal experiences, and to share with others the beauty and diversity of the world. As the images of other photographers have inspired her to explore the world, she hopes her own contributions will inspire others to do the same.
Taryn prides herself in her knowledge of Africa and all it has to offer. Whether it be sundowners in the Okavango Delta with a herd of elephants as your company, intimate wine tastings with vineyard owners in the Cape Winelands, or a relaxing swim in The Devil’s Pool, atop the magnificent Victoria Falls; one of the natural wonders of the world, she can tailor make your itinerary to suit your travel dreams.
The world is a big and beautiful place, and Taryn’s knowledge stretches far beyond Africa. Her other passions lie in Croatia, Turkey, Italy, Switzerland, Southeast Asia and much more. Whether it be a cruise, a guided tour or a completely customized itinerary designed just for you, Taryn will provide completely personalized service before, during, and after every trip… allowing you, the client, full peace of mind.
Ashley Carter
Luxury Travel Advisor
Ashley has been in the travel industry for about 3 years, but travel has been embedded in her soul since she was a young girl. During her younger years in school, straight A’s and good grades had always been rewarded with big family vacations as the end of the year. In high school, she was able to attend school led study trips that brought her overseas to Ireland and England. And in college, she took study abroad semesters in New Zealand, Ecuador, and the Galapagos Islands.
Having had these amazing opportunities, Ashley made it her mission to travel as often and as much as possible! When she moved to FL in 2007 from NJ, it only took her 2 years to change careers from working in the animal science field. She found herself working on private yachts traveling all over the East Coast US, spending countless months in the out islands of the Bahamas, and a crazy journey thru Central America and the Panama Canal.
Over the recent years, Ashley began to realize what she could offer as travel advisor and what the travel industry could offer her and she hasn’t looked back! It is her goal to instill the wonder and passion of travel in others as she has been blessed.
