And I'm basically your very own Travel Sidekick Search Engine.

I'm Ashleigh Bergh — my email signature would tell you that I'm a travel advisor with Park and Preston Travel, an independent affiliate of Gifted Travel Network — a Virtuoso® Member, which means my clients get access to preferred rates, upgrades, and experiences not available to the general public.

But what my signature doesn't say? I love to travel - and I absolutely hate to fly. When I visit somewhere new, the first places I research on a map aren't restaurants or museums, but book stores. I am a chronic over-packer, but no sudden shift of weather or unfortunate appearance of a blister has ever taken me down on a trip. And I truly, wholeheartedly believe that purposely leaving white space in your itinerary is where the real magic happens - not the stuff curated for the algorithm.

Before this, I spent fifteen years in customer-facing and customer-success roles in tech, non-profit, and education. I am genuinely good at understanding what someone wants, needs and is hoping for, and I do my very best to make sure that everything we build together helps meet it all for them - without the stress of managing every detail themselves.
