Leadership Spotlight: Abby Barrett
Exclusive FAMs Co-Manager

Abby's journey into the travel industry was a little different, as she worked in nursing for almost 10 years before making a career change to pursue travel full time. She always loved planning special getaways for her and her husband and realized she wanted to do the same for others. In early 2021, she opened her own luxury travel agency, @abbyawaytravel, allowing her to design luxury vacations and one-of-a-kind escapes for couples. When she's not playing castaway, you'll find her hanging by the beach at her home in Charleston and spending time with her husband and Goldendoodle, Sailor.

     

Contribute & Connect!

We're always looking to connect with our members, so if you're interested in sponsoring an exclusive FAM, hosting a future event, extending an exclusive benefit or providing a recap of a great adventure or blog post, let us know!
