Helped us maximize the short time we had!

Mackenzie arranged an amazing getaway in Maine for my fiancé to celebrate our recent engagement and I this past August. We only had about 48 hours to spend and wanted to visit Acadia National Park and the surrounding area, and Mackenzie helped us make the most of our limited time! She booked us a room at the most romantic Inn, and gave us some great recommendations on hikes of all levels, restaurants, and other sites to see! She worked with the Inn to arrange early check in and late check out to maximize our stay, and checked in with us throughout our trip through the app to make sure everything was going well! It was so nice to have everything arranged in advance so that my fiancé and I could just relax and enjoy the trip! I look forward to working with Mackenzie and Trailblazing Travel again for our honeymoon!

Amazing travel planner for our honeymoon!

We planned our honeymoon through Trailblazing Travel, and Mackenzie absolutely knocked the entire experience out of the park. From day one, she worked with us to make it the adventure of a lifetime. When we started planning, we weren’t sure where we wanted to go, so she took the time to put together a handful of options for us. We settled on two weeks in Thailand and Vietnam, and Mackenzie helped us customize the entire trip piece by piece, based on our travel style and our budget. Unbeknownst to us, she even contacted the local hotels to let them know it was our honeymoon, so we were surprised with a lot of sweet extras throughout the trip! Not only was Mackenzie incredibly hands-on and responsive during the planning process, she also was constantly available during our trip itself, to make sure everything was going as planned and to smooth over any worries we had. She even gave us our itinerary in an app that was updated throughout the trip and worked offline, which came in handy, especially during our more complicated travel days. The entire honeymoon was perfect from start to finish — by far the best trip we’ve ever taken! We would recommend Mackenzie and Trailblazing Travel to anyone looking for a fully customized and worry-free travel experience to remember forever.

Incredible South African Safari with Trailblazing Traval

Mackenzie helped us plan our honeymoon, which was the trip of a lifetime. Going into it, we didn’t know where we wanted to go. She created three separate detailed itineraries for us to compare. We opted for a trip to Seychelles + South African safari. In Seychelles, we stayed in a lavish yet lowkey hotel that we never would have found on our own and that perfectly fit the vibe we wanted. We had a slice of the India ocean all to ourselves. After that, Mackenzie found us the most AMAZING safari in Kruger National Park in South Africa - we saw all of the big 5 animals, had incredible accommodations and the food was some of the best we’ve ever had. She also found us great tours in Capetown to continue our adventures. She made the planning process stress free and went out of her way to accommodate our schedules. She ended up planning the perfect trip for our budget and exact experience we wanted. Plus, she kept us organized, so we didn’t need to think about a thing while we were there. Could not recommend Mackenzie and Trailblazing Trail any more highly!

Custom Journey Specialist
with a taste for adventure

Mackenzie's first international trip was before she could walk. Travel and exploring the world is her way of life. Before the age of 18, she was well versed in all things Caribbean and Central America from years of holiday scuba diving and snorkeling trips. Her DMV-based family couldn't resist the sun and white sand beaches in the winter months. With a yoga teaching mother and a scuba diving father, early in life Mackenzie learned the value of balancing adventure and restoration in your travels.

Out of school, Mackenzie's love for our National Parks and the American home front blossomed while working at a historic bed and breakfast in Idaho. Being immersed in a small bed and breakfast and the outfitter way of life changed her perspective on travel, adventure, and customer service forever.

Shortly after, Mackenzie started working at a travel agency in the D.C.- Virginia area and the rest is history. She gained valuable experience working in a small boutique agency that focus on luxury leisure travel and within a few years secured a job working for National Geographic's Private Jet Tour Operator, TCS World Travel. During her time there, she gained incredible experience with off the beaten path destinations and intricate visa processes. She was even lucky enough to join one of the expeditions around the world.

Having both travel agent and tour operation in her background makes her a highly efficient advocate for her clients, as she understands both sides of the industry and the many complexities of this growing and ever changing field.

As a yoga teacher herself, Mackenzie has built Trailblazing Travel's brand on the foundation of honesty and good faith, authentically hoping to bring joyful experience and richness to her client's lives.
