Meet Stephanie
Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve spent my life exploring the world and finding the best ways to experience it, preferably with great food and even better company. I’m a certified tour director and seasoned event planner and worked as a guide in San Francisco before launching my own bike tour company in 2014. Wanderlust runs deep in my veins, and I’ve been fortunate enough to visit all 50 U.S. states and 35 countries (and counting!) across five continents.

For 15 incredible years, I had the absolute thrill of working with a top U.S. pro cycling team—an experience that ignited a love for bike travel and set me on the path to creating unforgettable cycling adventures of my own. Sure, I could never quite keep up with them on the road, but being part of their journey, witnessing the grit and determination up close, and soaking in the energy of the sport was nothing short of amazing!

In 2022, I moved to the Netherlands—a place where cycling is truly a way of life—to immerse myself in the destinations I offer and get to know them on a deeper level. My passion? Designing relaxed, unforgettable bike journeys that let you take in the scenery at the right pace, connect with welcoming locals, and truly enjoy every moment along the way.

Travel Philosophy
Stephanie believes that one of the best ways to explore the world is on two wheels, immersing yourself in the culture at a relaxed pace. With years of experience in smart travel planning, she’s here to help make your overseas adventures stress-free and unforgettable.
