Travel Agent: Wakisha Poppe

My passion for travel began at 16 during a school program abroad, sparking a lifelong love for exploring new cultures. With a background in art, I’m especially drawn to experiencing destinations through the lens of history, creativity, and human connection. Years of planning trips for friends and family—paired with a career in sales—naturally led me to become a travel advisor, where I help others discover the world in meaningful ways.

My areas of expertise are in cruises, solo adventures, luxury travel, special occasions, and multi-generational trips. I’ve personally traveled through Italy, Mexico, Indonesia, France, the UK, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Egypt.  Italy holds a special place in my heart—I lived there and fell in love with the rhythm of daily life, regional cuisine, and timeless beauty. Egypt opened my eyes to one of the kindest cultures I’ve encountered, and road-tripping across Mexico deepened my appreciation for its vibrant traditions and landscapes.

At the heart of what I do is a desire to create culturally immersive, well-curated journeys that go far beyond sightseeing. Whether it’s uncovering hidden gems or following in the footsteps of artists and storytellers, I love helping travelers connect deeply with the places they visit.
