The Bold Thistle Story
Bold Thistle Travel grew from a life spent exploring the world with curiosity and purpose. After twenty years in the United States Navy, living overseas, navigating new cultures, and planning complex logistics, I learned how meaningful travel can be when it feels calm, organized, and intentional.
My expertise in customized travel services allows me to design journeys that are seamless and deeply rewarding, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully planned. Whether it’s a quiet retreat, a romantic getaway, or an adventurous escape, Bold Thistle Travel is here to create experiences that feel personal and uniquely yours.
