Realizing Your Travel Bucket List, One Adventure at a Time.

Welcome to Cultivate Traveling! I’m Becky, your dedicated travel itinerary specialist and friendly travel blogger. After beating Inflammatory Breast Cancer, I’ve committed myself to helping others fulfill their bucket list dreams and maximize every moment of their journeys.

As a passionate scrapbooker, photographer, and organizer, I pour my heart into crafting detailed itineraries and guides based on my travels around the globe with my husband of 30 years.

Through authentic stories and practical tips, I aim to inspire you to explore, whether it’s a dream trip abroad or a cozy weekend road trip close to home.

We’ll wander through Maui, my happy place and our annual winter retreat. We’ll delve into the rich history of London, my favorite European city, and the picturesque English countryside. I eagerly anticipate sharing this journey with you, from Cinque Terre to Asia and beyond!

While I’m not a professional photographer, you’ll find genuine snapshots from my trips throughout the blog to make you feel like you’re with me. This is a judgment-free zone โ€“ let’s spread positivity and encourage each other to keep ticking off bucket list destinations. If you ever want to chat about travel, don’t hesitate to reach out!

My Travel Philosophy

At the heart of my travel philosophy is the belief that the journey should be as enriching as the destination. I understand that many clients dream of exploring bucket list destinations but often feel overwhelmed by the planning process.
Thatโ€™s why I focus on curating experiences that balance visiting iconic attractions with the joy of slow exploration. I encourage travelers to immerse themselves in local cultures, discover hidden gems, and savor each moment.
My goal is to create personalized itineraries that allow you to enjoy the best of both worldsโ€”ensuring that your travels are not just about ticking boxes but about creating lasting memories and meaningful connections.
