How Chariot Became a Love Letter to the Senses

Chariot was never just about travel. It was — and still is — a mosaic of everything I love.
Long before it had a name, it lived in the quiet corners of my heart: in the pages of a well-worn novel, the clink of wine glasses at golden hour, the laughter around a table full of food, the rhythm of music spilling into the night, the stillness of journaling under a tree.

While Chariot is now open to everyone, every curious heart, every open spirit—I haven’t forgotten who I started this with. This brand was born from my deepest joys, the simple, soulful things that remind me I’m alive. And now, I want to share them.

Chariot is where my favorite things meet the world. It’s travel, yes, but it’s also storytelling, flavor, beauty, ritual, and rest. It’s an invitation to feel, taste, listen, move, and savor your way through new places. To experience the world not just with your eyes, but with your whole being.

The women.
You are the soul of Chariot. You were the first to say yes to the trips, the trust, the magic. You showed me what happens when women step away from their routines and into something expansive. You taught me that sisterhood is a kind of medicine.

That will never change.
No matter how Chariot grows, the women who built its bones will always be honored, seen, and cherished here.

So if you love a good meal, a glass of wine, a beautiful book, a moment of stillness, or a new place that wakes something up in you, you’re in the right place. This is for you.
We’re not just exploring the world.
We’re exploring delight, depth, and the everyday poetry that lives in between.
Welcome to Chariot — a journey through joy.
With all my heart,
