Misty Carpenter
Lead Travel Coordinator
At the young age of 12, I delved into my first travel guide, and since then, there's been no turning back. The excitement of immersing myself in the fascinating details of exotic destinations, followed by the sheer joy of experiencing those places firsthand, ignited a passion that has only deepened over the past 30 years.
It's not surprising that my enthusiasm for travel, particularly travel coordination, led family and friends to seek my expertise in crafting unforgettable itineraries. Craft them, I did! And from that shared excitement, Elevated Explorations was born.
