Custom international travel that feels personal, thoughtful, and anything but generic.
At Elated Escapes Travel, I design tailor-made journeys that reflect the way you actually want to travel. I work especially often with families with older kids and multigenerational families, creating trips that feel seamless, meaningful, and deeply rewarding.
Whether you’re planning a milestone family trip, a multigenerational getaway, or a custom international journey that balances beauty, comfort, and real cultural depth, I help turn the process into something far more rewarding than a stack of bookings and browser tabs.
I specialize in luxury travel planning for people who are done wasting time on DIY research and mass-market tours. You want insight, access, and the kind of experiences that feel thoughtful, immersive, and well paced. That’s what I deliver, with highly personalized service from beginning to end.
Why Work With Me?
There are plenty of travel advisors out there. My clients come to me for something more personal, more thoughtful, and more deeply tailored to the way they actually want to travel.
I’m Meaghan Clawsie, a luxury travel advisor, former writer, and the founder of Elated Escapes Travel. I’ve personally explored over 50 countries across six continents (Antarctica is next), and I work with trusted on-the-ground partners around the world to deliver exceptional, authentic experiences that go beyond the ordinary.
As both a travel advisor and the mother of two college-aged kids, I understand firsthand how much family travel changes once children are older, and how rewarding it can be when it’s thoughtfully designed.
Here’s what I bring to every trip I plan:
- A laser-focus on your preferences, priorities, and travel style
- Firsthand destination knowledge across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas
- Trusted travel industry relationships with boutique hotels, local guides, and luxury tour operators
- A background in journalism and marketing, which means I think deeply about rhythm, detail, and the choices that shape how a trip actually feels
Who We Serve
My clients most often include:
- Families with older kids who want more meaningful, age-appropriate travel
- Multigenerational families planning milestone trips or special celebrations
- Parents who want a custom international trip without the overwhelm of doing it all themselves
- Travelers who value beauty, ease, and experiences that feel personal rather than prepackaged
While I also plan select couples trips and other custom journeys, my deepest area of focus is thoughtful international travel for families in this stage of life.
Whether you want to explore Japan, Greece, Costa Rica, Iceland, or somewhere entirely unexpected, I’ll help you do it beautifully.
