Hi, I’m Lindsey! Welcome to The Travel Desk. I’m so glad you’re here.
Where to begin? Travel has been woven into the fabric of my identity for as long as I can remember. I still have magazine clippings from middle school, dreamily circling the destinations I hoped to visit one day. Childhood adventures across the U.S. and Caribbean opened the door to global travels in college and beyond. Decades later, I’ve explored 40 countries, and I’m always planning what’s next.
My professional journey began in the world of travel technology, offering me a front-row seat to some of the most iconic names in hospitality. I’ve sat in boardrooms with the visionaries behind beloved hotels, partnered with remarkable teams, and gained a deep understanding of how unforgettable guest experiences are designed.
Researching destinations, loyalty programs, hotels, and emerging travel trends is my version of a hobby, one I pursue with the same passion others bring to golf or cycling. This platform is my way of sharing that curiosity, insight, and joy with you.
Outside of travel, I’m a corporate marketing leader at a global tech company, wife, and mother to two young daughters, both of whom had passports before they were three months old. My husband and I often talk about the kind of people we hope our girls become: curious, compassionate global citizens who see the world with awe and an open mind.
To help others experience travel more deeply and meaningfully, I founded Cade Travel Co., a boutique travel advisory. In a world overflowing with options and information, having a trusted expert to guide you, whether it’s choosing the perfect destination or the right hotel, has never been more valuable.
