How I Fell in Love with Traveling - The Journey to Starr Bound Vacations

Hi, I'm Samantha, and if there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I'm absolutely obsessed with travel. My love for adventure started at 12 years old when I took my first flight to Fort Lauderdale for a Royal Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas. That trip was more than just a getaway-it was the moment I realized I wanted to see as much of the world as possible.

From That Moment on, I was captivated by the thrill of discovering new places, the excitement of stepping into the unknown, and the magic of experiencing different cultures. Weather it was the enchantment of Disney, the adrenaline rush of Universal's theme parks, or the awe of standing before historic landmarks, every journey left me wanting more.

I knew I wanted to do more than just travel-I wanted to inspire others to do the same. That's when Starr Bound Vacations was born.

Based in Nashville, I created Starr Bound Vacations as a way to share both my husband, Jason, and I's passion for exploring the world. What started as a way to help others plan unforgettable trips quickly evolved into something even bigger: a platform to inspire, educate, and ignite wanderlust in fellow travelers.
