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.

A few words from travelers who let Mariah handle the details.
“Mariah helped us book a last-minute weekend getaway, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the planning process to the accommodations — and even helping us save money — she exceeded our expectations every step of the way. She made everything easy and stress-free. I highly recommend Mariah to anyone planning a trip, and we'll definitely be using her again and again for all of our future travel needs!”
