Meet Your Travel Partner

Hi! I'm Tianna, founder of Wayward Wings Travel. For over 20 years, I dedicated myself to the field of veterinary medicine, caring for animals and their families. A native Michigander, I moved across the country multiple times for my career, not only for professional growth but to experience life and culture in many regions of the US, including New York, New England, Northern California, Florida and Colorado, where I currently reside.

A few years ago, I traveled to Norway on my first international trip ever and completely fell in love with travel, and especially with the Arctic. Being able to see wildlife and the ecosystem that sustains them was absolutely life-changing, and I quickly realized how transformative travel could be. With that trip, I understood that travel has the power to bring people together, foster cultural understanding, and create a more compassionate world.

I firmly believe that everyone from every walk of life should have the opportunity to experience the enriching and life-changing benefits that travel offers, and that we have a responsibility to do it in a way that doesn’t just have minimal impact, but actively promotes a better world.

I consider myself incredible fortunate to be able to partner with City to Sea Travel & Events, allowing me to obtain my IATAN travel agent certification and pursue my passion full-time.  Through them, I have the backing and confidence of an established agency as well as the incredible mentorship they offer to ensure I can be my absolute best when curating travel for others.

About Wayward Wings

Simply put….it’s our dream.

We wanted to create a partner for travel, not a sales company.

We’re not interested in selling travel to as many people as possible. We’re interested in helping people achieve their travel dreams.

We’re interested in showing people the beauty of the world, focusing on the ecosystems and wildlife that we share it with.

It’s important to us that we understand what eco-friendly and sustainable options exist for travel. Seeing wildlife and experiencing remote corners of the world is a privilege, and it matters that it’s done in a way that doesn’t just minimize impact, but actively helps preserve the world around us.

We’re interested in making sure people who need a mental break, get it.

Too many of us, especially those of us in mentally and physically demanding fields, don’t take the time we deserve and need to restore ourselves. Our mental and physical well-being has taken a backseat for too long. We’re here to help people take that journey so they don’t have to do it alone when they’re exhausted and too emotionally drained to think about it.

We’re interested in bringing the world together.

We’re interested in connecting people with places, people, and cultures they have always dreamed of seeing but never thought possible.

We’re interested in you.

It’s true that we’re a small business right now. What that means is that you’ll have our undivided attention and utmost regard for detail. Your travel dreams matter to us, and we will stop at nothing to make sure every last detail is perfect.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make exceptional travel attainable to all and create intentional experiences that connect people with nature and wildlife.

We believe in fostering a deep respect for the planet through ethical travel that preserves the world’s most breathtaking landscapes and the incredible creatures that call them home.

We aim to create lifelong memories and experiences that change the way people interact not only with the world around them, but each other.

Because everyone deserves to take flight.
