About us

Elsewhere Travel was started by Jamie Collins, Certified Travel Advisor, Cruise Specialist, Disney Aficionado, Restaurant Owner, Mom, Wife, and Beach Expert.

Growing up in Santa Barbara, California the beach has always been my happy place. 20 years ago I moved to Oregon, where I currently reside, but my heart stayed at the beach. Traveling has always been a huge passion, and lucky for me I married a man who shared that passion. We have 2 beautiful daughters together and have been blessed to share our love of travel with them.

We travel more than some as traveling makes us truly happy and allows us serious quality time as a family. While we haven’t been everywhere, it is definitely on the list. I love Stand Up Paddle Boarding and try to incorporate it into as many destinations as I can. Paddle Boarding in the canals of Venice was one of my bucket list items and I was able to check the box in the Summer of 2022!

I cherish every aspect of traveling, and over time, I have honed my planning skills. After assisting numerous friends and family members with their travel plans, I realized that this is my true calling. With a keen eye for detail, a passion for helping others, and a love for travel planning, Elsewhere Travel was born!

I have been lucky to partner with Travel Planners International, a member of Signature Travel Network, giving me access to a vast amount of major suppliers, learning opportunities, and a wealth of backup support should the need arise.

I am thrilled to embark on this journey of planning your adventures!
