We sat down with Taunya to learn more about the heart behind the brand, her passion for travel, and what makes a Live Love Drink Travel experience truly one of a kind.
Q: Taunya, what inspired you to launch Live Love Drink Travel?
Taunya: I wanted to create something that felt personal, elevated, and deeply intentional. Travel isn’t just about where you go. It’s about how you feel while you’re there. Live Love Drink Travel was born from my passion for crafting upscale journeys that are safe, soulful, and unforgettable.
Q: Is your husband involved? What does he do for the agency?
Taunya: Oh, Derek is our behind-the-scenes powerhouse. When we started the agency, he was working full-time elsewhere, but he still found time to support the business. Now, he handles all our marketing and social media, plus a ton of backend operations. We lovingly call him our “task monkey”. He keeps the gears turning so I can focus on crafting unforgettable travel experiences. He’s a huge part of why things run so smoothly.
Q: Your tagline is “Live Fully. Love Deeply. Drink Well. Travel Beautifully.” How does that show up in your work?
Taunya: It’s our compass. We design trips that invite people to savor life, connect with others, indulge in local flavors, and explore the world with curiosity and care. Every journey is crafted to reflect those values. It’s not just a tagline, it’s how we operate.
Q: Who are your travelers?
Taunya: They’re intentional, stylish, and curious. Many are women over 40, solo travelers, or couples who want more than a generic getaway. They’re looking for connection, safety, and experiences that feel meaningful. We attract people who want to travel beautifully, with heart and purpose.
Q: You’re known for being a strong advocate for your clients. Why is that so central to your brand?
Taunya: Because travel isn’t always smooth, and my clients deserve someone in their corner. I’m proactive about passports, insurance, and documentation. I educate, I prepare, and I protect. That’s part of the handcrafted promise: making sure every traveler feels safe, seen, and supported.
Q: What makes a Live Love Drink Travel journey stand out?
Taunya: It’s the vibe. We don’t do impersonal itineraries. Our trips are intimate, crafted, and layered with meaning. I’m involved from start to finish, building relationships with suppliers, guiding clients through prep, and staying connected long after the trip ends. It’s boutique travel with backbone.
Q: What’s next for Live Love Drink Travel?
Taunya: Growth with intention. We’re refining our messaging, deepening our supplier partnerships, and expanding our reach while staying true to our handcrafted soul. I want our brand to be known not just for beautiful travel, but for being a trusted, client-first agency that leads with care.
