  • Ellie Pearson

    Hi! I’m Ellie! I am a travel agent and the social media manager for Peak Family Travel. I specialize in European destinations and nature focused travel, but I am always learning more about a wide variety of destinations!

    I am an outdoor enthusiast, and I love to experience new cultures and see new places! I have worked in Alaska for a summer and studied in England for a semester including much traveling within those places. My favorite destination that I have ever been to is Meteora, Greece!

    I am very passionate about helping others make their dreams a reality. I have already been to so many places that I never thought I would be able to go to, and I’m here to help others do the same. Whether it is a group trip, or solo travel adventure, I can’t wait to work with you to make your travel dreams come true!

Whether you're dreaming of sun-soaked beaches, thrilling theme park adventures, or vibrant city escapes, I’m here to make the planning process easy, stress-free, and fun.

    As a mom to three adult sons—two of whom have special needs—I understand the unique challenges that can come with family travel. I’m passionate about making vacations accessible, enjoyable, and memorable for every member of the family.

    I also love diving into research and discovering new places, so whether you're sticking to what you love or venturing somewhere completely new, I’m up for the challenge.
