ABOUT TRAVEL WITH MEREDITH
Personalized Travel Planning, With a Specialty in Italy
Hi, I'm Meredith Peters, founder of Travel With Meredith. I help travelers plan thoughtful, personalized vacations without having to piece together every detail themselves.
Italy is a particular specialty of mine, but my travel planning extends throughout Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Wherever you're headed, I bring together firsthand knowledge, trusted in-destination travel partners, and careful planning to create a trip that fits the way you want to travel.
My Travel Story: How it all began
My introduction to travel didn't start with international flights. It started with road trips across the United States. My parents took my brother and me on long trips in our 24-foot travel trailer, and by the time I was eight, I'd visited almost every state in the contiguous U.S.
I didn't get on a plane until I was 18, and my first trip to Italy came a few years later. That trip changed the way I thought about travel. I began to appreciate what it meant to really experience a destination rather than simply visit it.
From a 300-Acre Farm to Travel Planning
Before I planned trips for clients, I ran a 300-acre fruit and vegetable farm along with its wholesale and retail businesses. That meant managing countless moving parts, solving problems quickly, and paying attention to detail every day.
As different as farming and travel planning may seem, I've discovered that many of the skills are surprisingly similar. A well-planned trip has a lot of moving pieces, too. I enjoy bringing them together so my clients don't have to.
When I eventually closed that chapter of my life, travel became the natural next step. I built Travel With Meredith around something I genuinely value: helping people experience places in a thoughtful, personal way while taking the stress and logistics of planning off their shoulders.
The Way I Love to Travel
I believe the best trips leave room for both the places you've dreamed about seeing and the experiences you didn't know to look for.
Italy is the destination I return to again and again, for the food, history, landscapes, small towns, and the enormous variety from one region to the next. I've also rappelled waterfalls in Costa Rica, trekked through Ireland, hiked a volcano in Guatemala, and spent plenty of time enjoying a Caribbean beach.
Those experiences shape how I plan for my clients. I don't believe there is one “right” way to travel. The right trip is the one that fits you.
