About

As a child, every Sunday my family and I would "ride around". We didn't have much money and we learned to appreciate what we did have. Never knowing the destination, the perks along the way or the timeframe, I learned to soak up all of the small details on these treks. These small adventures led to a lifelong passion of traveling and absorbing all of the nuggets and new experiences that we are given. Whether by land, air or sea, there are adventures everywhere. Accept that gift.

Tremendous Trips

This is me shivering in the cold winds of Patagonia while on a trip to Chile. Through months of planning, my family and I had to opportunity to witness such a rich culture and breathtaking scenery. I love planning big trips and the hours of research necessary to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together to make it all fit perfectly.

Little Luxuries

This tiny house treasure in the mountains of Western North Carolina is an incredible find for that long weekend. It packs a lot of punch for the money and is near all of the charm of nearby Bryson City, North Carolina. Whether looking for hikes, train rides (Polar Bear Express in the winter), or a local eatery with good craft beer, you can't beat this. Let me plan your weekend getaway.

In the Middle of Everything

Looking for that perfect trip where all you have to do is show up with your bathing suit? Well, you may need a few outfits, but Sandals in Negril, Jamaica is waiting for you. There's no major planning, no dots to connect. Your biggest decision is which pool to swim in next (unless you get a private pool outside your room). Impeccable service, wonderful food and all drinks and activities included. Off-site excursions available if desired. What are you waiting for?

Skills & Expertise

What are my skills?

While working as a restaurant server, I learned attention to detail and humility. As a counselor, I learned empathy and how to really listen to people. As a librarian, I learned to embrace my love of research.

Now I embark upon a journey to use all of those skills to create the best experiences and memories for others that I possibly can. I am continuously traveling and taking continuing education classes in the travel industry to make me the best I can be.  I have completed all necessary training and am happy to be affiliated with Outside Agents.

Diane Peters

My passion is my family and travel. I feel so fortunate to have them both. Life has led me down different paths, but as my dad always told me, "Take the scenic route". That's what I hope to help others do.

Dolly

Dolly the rescue dane-hound is my trusty assistant. She is always on point at barking while I'm on the phone, riding side-saddle on excursions and begging for treats from strangers. She has a keen ability to sniff out a good trip.

MayBelle

Meet MayBelle. She is my respite for the little lifts that allow me to explore and live life to its fullest. What she lacks in torque, she makes up for in personality. If you're in the southeastern US, you may see her with Dolly and me.
