Travel is engrained in who I am. My grandma was a travel agent, and I grew up going on incredible trips around the U.S. with my family. I’m so grateful for those early adventures that sparked my love of travel.

I truly caught the travel bug after going on a solo volunteer trip to Peru at age 17. Seeing Machu Picchu with my own eyes was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life, and further deepened my love of exploring the world. 

After Peru, I backpacked through Europe, spent two summers in college abroad, adventured through Southeast Asia, and more. Each experience opened my eyes to new cultures, flavors, and ways of life. 

When the world paused in 2020, I started Around the World with Bria as a blog - a creative outlet where I could share stories, photos, and memories from my travels while dreaming of future ones. That dream became a business when I joined Fora Travel in December 2022, giving me the tools and partnerships to to help others plan thoughtful, unforgettable trips of their own.

Traveling fuels my soul. I believe it’s the greatest form of education. Our world is vast and beautiful, filled with extraordinary people, places, and perspectives. The more we explore, the more we learn and grow. 

So far, I’ve been to 26 countries and counting, and I’d love to help you plan your next great adventure!
