Every week we give you a 5 minute escape from reality to give you a new destination and inspiration for your next vacation! This week we thought it would be fun to meet the girl behind the keyboard!

Meredith Merritt, or as we fondly call her at the L+W, Mere is a self proclaimed travel addict! But she hasn’t always been a travelling diva, Meredith spent the early years of her career in Early Childhood Education and then spent many years as a Stay-At-Mom to her 3 beautiful babies! After deciding to go back into education when her youngest child went to kindergarten, she realized the classroom wasn’t lighting her heart on fire anymore. But what did? TRAVEL - Disney travel to be specific! She took the necessary steps and a giant leap of faith to leave education to pursue her passion. Mere jumped into the travel industry with both feet! She quickly realized there was a huge need for help in other areas of leisure travel and she was just the OCD maniac to organize, babysit and take care of every component of her clients precious treasures - their vacations. She has spent every waking moment over the past 4 years building her travel business and learning all the ins and outs of this small but mighty travel industry.

This year she was able to see her dream come to fruition when Luxe + Wander debuted in July! Now Mere and Stac are busy growing the Luxe + Wander team and found a new passion of pouring into our team! We love seeing our advisors reach their goals and impact their families - that is what truly lights our hearts ablaze!

Cheers to you Mere, we have a bottle of Prosecco waiting for you in your office!
