Meet Tricia
Founder & Your New Travel Expert
Travel has always been my greatest passion. Growing up in the Midwest, I dreamed of the kind of adventures read about in books. That curiosity eventually led me into a career as an attorney, where I served others at home and abroad. But I never stopped exploring. I studied in Ireland and Spain, journeyed through Europe by train and car, cruised through Alaska, and witnessed the Great Migration in Africa.
Over the years, I have found that the most meaningful trips are the ones that connect us to nature, to culture, and to ourselves. That belief is what inspired me to create Novel Travel Design, a place where travel is not just planned but thoughtfully crafted into a story you will never forget.

Love Notes From Clients
“Tricia planned multiple trips for me and each time she made the process completely stress-free. I didn’t have to worry about a thing — she handled every detail, every question, and even the little hitches that popped up along the way.
She really took the time to point me toward the experiences I’d enjoy most, so all I had to do was sit back, relax, and make memories. Having her in my corner made all the difference."
Love Notes From Clients
“When we decided to celebrate our anniversary in Mexico, we knew we wanted something truly special. Tricia guided us toward a luxury resort that exceeded every expectation — five-star service, a stunning location, and the perfect balance of relaxation and celebration. Her expertise made all the difference in choosing a resort we never would have found on our own, and it turned into the kind of trip we’ll be talking about for years.”
“Taking our kids to Europe for the first time felt overwhelming, but Tricia made it seamless. She helped us choose the right destinations and arranged incredible private experiences that brought the trip to life for everyone.
From start to finish, Tricia created an itinerary that kept both the adults and kids engaged, making our first European adventure unforgettable."
