TRACY LAVENDER
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Hi, I’m Tracy, and travel has been at the heart of my life since 1991. My journey began in travel and tourism school and soon took flight, literally, when I became a flight attendant for two major airlines. Those years gave me a front row seat to incredible destinations and taught me how much thoughtful planning can make a trip feel seamless and stress free.
After stepping away from my career to raise my children, my love of exploring the world only grew. For the past 12 years, I’ve been proud to be part of The Journey Group, helping travelers turn their vacation dreams into meaningful experiences. I bring my firsthand experience and personal touch to every trip I plan. I especially love creating honeymoons and romantic anniversary getaways, as well as group travel for corporate teams and families. Whether you’re building stronger connections with colleagues or making memories with the people you love, traveling together is a wonderful way to experience more of the world.
One of my most treasured travel memories is taking my extended family of 16 through Italy, from Venice to Naples. Seeing their excitement along the way created memories that will live with me forever.
For me, travel is about more than seeing new places. It’s about sharing meaningful experiences, discovering the world with people you enjoy, and coming home with stories you’ll tell for years. I’d love to help you plan a trip that inspires you and becomes part of your own favorite memories.
