Why Use a Travel Specialist?
Hiring a travel specialist for your runcation removes the burden of planning and leaves the details to an expert. My first hand experience traveling Europe to race allows me to create an experience that you won’t find anywhere else. I specially create each runcation for you, with extra attention to your race day and how you’ll recover while traveling.
Unlike traditional travel agents that make money through hidden fees and putting you on tours that they don’t plan, I do all the work myself. This means no hidden fees. All of my costs are upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Hi, I’m Sadie
After making the move to Portugal in 2022 (and documenting it on House Hunters International), I decided that 2023 was going to be an even bigger year. I signed up and ran a half marathon every month in a new country. Completing a dozen destination races was one of the most challenging things I have ever done, but it was completely worth it. Fueled by my love of travel, and energy gels, I found a new joy in running.
Now, I use the lessons I learned to help you plan a perfect destination race. I offer consultation calls, itinerary building, and full vacation planning for solo travelers, runners and their support crews, or running clubs looking to tackle a European race.
