My upbringing in a small Midwestern lake community instilled in me a deep appreciation for life, shaped by my strong faith, passion for people, and a fascination with the world. Today, as an independent travel consultant specializing in leisure & luxury travel with Mary Yost Travel, I carry these values into every journey I craft.  

 My 30 years of travel across four continents have provided me with invaluable insights into creating meaningful experiences. From the sensory inspiration of the spice markets in Margoa, India, to the hands-on joy of cooking alongside an Italian chef in Tuscany, I am dedicated to shaping travel experiences that capture your dreams.  

 With a passion for details and service, my expertise allows me to craft itineraries that encourage cultural immersion and indulge your curiosity, ensuring your time away is truly memorable.  

 When I’m not traveling, I cherish time with my husband, daughter, and son-in-law, our two grandsons, Jude & Jett. I also find joy in gourmet cooking, entertaining, writing, reading, shopping, and spending time with friends. 

 I invite you – solo travelers, couples, and small groups alike – to step into a world of detailed travel planning, full of insight and inspiration, carefully curated just for you. Let’s begin your journey today.
