The Chase the Sunset Difference
A trusted travel advisor — not just a booking site.
Endless tabs, conflicting reviews, hidden fees. Planning a trip should feel exciting, not exhausting. I take the overwhelm out of travel and replace it with clarity, care and a vacation built entirely around you.
Personalized Planning
Every itinerary is thoughtfully designed around who you are and how you love to travel.
Stress-Free Booking
I handle the research, comparisons and reservations so you never lift a finger.
Expert Recommendations
Honest insight and insider suggestions from someone who genuinely knows travel.
Ongoing Support
From your first question to your return flight, I'm in your corner the entire way.
Meet your advisor
Hi, I'm Mariah — let's chase the sunset.
By day, I'm a dedicated elementary school teacher. Outside the classroom, I've found another passion: helping people explore the world through unforgettable travel experiences. I started Chase the Sunset Travel Co. because I know how overwhelming planning a vacation can feel — and I wanted to create a service that takes the stress out of it entirely.
Teaching gave me the exact skills great travel planning demands: organization, attention to detail, patience, communication and problem-solving. I bring the same level of care and preparation to every itinerary because I know your vacation is more than a trip — it's precious time with the people who matter most.

Why work with an advisor
Better than booking it yourself.
You could piece it together across a dozen tabs. Or you could hand it to someone whose entire job is making your trip better — for the same price, with a lot more peace of mind.
Same price, more value
In most cases you pay what you'd find online — plus expert planning, perks and support at no additional cost.
Access & upgrades
Promotions, perks and insider details you'd likely miss booking on your own.
A real advocate
If something goes wrong before or during your trip, you have someone in your corner.
Honest guidance
Recommendations based on what's genuinely right for you — not what's easiest to sell.
Time back in your life
Hours (or days) of research handled for you, from the first idea to your final itinerary.
A plan you can trust
A clear itinerary, thoughtful details and support throughout the journey.
