Hi! I’m Alexis—mom of four girls, raised in the desert and now rooted in the mountains—and always planning my next adventure. I’ll take any excuse to travel, whether it’s a romantic getaway with my husband, a family trip with all our daughters in tow, or an adventure with our extended family to unique and amazing parts of the world—like Africa or the Galapagos.

I believe in keeping things simple, and for me, that starts with packing light. Traveling with just a carry-on makes everything easier—from skipping the check-in line to breezing past baggage claim and avoiding lost luggage during layovers. But don’t worry—just because I travel light doesn’t mean I sacrifice style, comfort, or the little luxuries that make a trip special. I’ve got carry-on packing down to an art (even if I still somehow manage to overpack a little!).

Through this website, I’ll share where we go, where we stay, and how to pack smart so you can travel lighter and experience more. And if you’re dreaming up your own adventure, I’d love to help you plan a carry-on-only trip that feels effortless, elevated, and totally unforgettable.
