About Heather Keller:

While she has always loved travel, her past experience was in banking management, and in 2015 she went back to school to receive her Undergraduate in Psychology. She dove head-first into the luxury travel industry shortly after and hasn't looked back. Heather’s favorite aspect of trip planning is finding what you didn't know you'd love, and having you experience travel in a way that it becomes a part of you. When not travel planning for clients, she loves traveling with her own family (the bigger the adventure the better), and spending time giving back by volunteering with several nonprofit organizations.
