CRAFTED ESCAPES
MEGAN STAUFFER
My passion for travel was ignited when I took my first steps off the plane in Italy as a young girl.
TRAVEL ADVISOR
Hi! I live in Carmel Valley on California’s Central Coast with my husband, two boys, and two dogs. When I’m not traveling or working, you’ll find me at the beach, cheering on youth sports, or happily strolling the farmers market.
Before I was a mom and travel advisor, I worked in education teaching math to high schoolers and mentoring new teachers. I still use those skills daily, balancing trip budgets, coordinating complex itineraries, and being the hype girl for your vacation. Let’s just say that hyping your dream trip is a little easier than hyping Algebra to 14 year olds.
It is such a joy to get to be part of your family’s adventures, a role for which I am endlessly grateful.
"It was the best trip we have ever taken… we felt so at ease knowing how much you planned for us. We knew we were in great hands."

Q&A with Megan
Most memorable travel experience?
Exploring sea caves and enjoying a meal prepared fresh aboard a vintage fishing boat in Naxos, Greece. I didn't know my seven year old liked scorpionfish, now I know!
DREAM TRIP?
Enrolling the kids in a local camp outside of Athens was an incredible experience for the whole family. We’re dreaming of doing that somewhere new this summer.
FAVORITE HOTEL?
Pavillon Faubourg in Paris and Mauna Lani on the Big Island of Hawaii
TIPS FOR TRAVELERS?
Don’t skimp on sleep when you travel. Whether that means booking a better hotel with a comfy bed and appropriate soundproofing, or one with a sauna or steam room to relax and unwind, getting proper rest is one of the greatest influencers in how you can experience the incredible new destination you’re about to explore.
