about
Explorers at heart
We’re travelers ourselves. And when we travel, we like to go deep, get our hands dirty, and stray a little (okay, sometimes a lot) off the beaten path. Turns out, that’s exactly where the magic happens.
We’re so glad you found us
At EBA, we are:
Honest
No sales pitches. Just thoughtful, honest guidance centered around what is right for you. That may mean recommending a destination that is a better fit for your investment, suggesting a different time of year, or steering you away from a place that looks better online than it feels in person. Our recommendations are grounded in experience, trusted relationships, and your best interests. You can always count on us to tell you what we truly think.
Always learning
Yes, we’re travel experts, but we also know there’s always something new to learn about a destination (that’s what makes our work so fun!). That’s why we foster connections with trusted partners across the globe, so we know exactly who to turn to to answer our—and your—questions.
Meet Erika Bodwell
Hi, I’m Erika, owner and travel advisor behind EBA Travel. I believe extraordinary travel begins with truly understanding the person taking the journey. With honest guidance, thoughtful planning, and trusted relationships around the world, I design experiences that feel personal, effortless, and beautifully suited to the way you want to travel.
Because the best journeys stay with you long after you return home.
I started EBA Travel because I believe travel is deeply personal. When we step away from the routines of home and experience the world around us, something shifts. We have the opportunity to reconnect with the people we love, become more present, and see the world, and sometimes ourselves, from a different perspective.
Every destination has something unique to offer, from its people and culture to its landscapes, traditions, and stories. I created EBA Travel because I want to share those extraordinary places with my clients and help them experience the world in meaningful ways. My hope is that every journey leaves you with more than beautiful memories. It leaves you feeling more connected to one another, more curious about the world, and perhaps even a little changed by having experienced it.
Our goal?
Your time is valuable, and planning an exceptional journey should not compete for more of it. My team and I make the process feel effortless, replacing endless research and uncertainty with personal attention, trusted expertise, and a thoughtfully designed experience from beginning to end.
We take the time to understand not only where you want to go, but how you want to experience it. From beautifully appointed hotels and private guides to exceptional dining, immersive experiences, and seamless transportation, every recommendation is considered with your preferences, pace, and priorities in mind.
We may be experts in travel, but through our collaborative planning process, we become experts in the way you want to see the world. You bring us the dream. We bring together the people, places, and details that transform it into an extraordinary journey.
We Got It From Here

OUR Services
Make Every Journey More Meaningful
The most memorable journeys are about more than where you go. They are about the people you share them with, the experiences that stay with you, and the moments that leave you feeling more connected to the world around you.
