About Masterfully Planned Experiences

Travel is my soul and my driving force. Born to explore, I am passionate about discovering international destinations, learning about new cultures, and sharing global experiences with others. 

From a young age, I was fortunate enough to have opportunities to spread my wings and embark on life-changing adventures around the world. I cherish every time I set foot on a plane and begin a new adventure. 

From International Film Publicity, weddings, and private events to corporate meetings and conferences, I have years of experience in the logistics and execution of events. My long career as an event planner – crafting, designing, sourcing, planning, and executing incredible events – has culminated in a boutique luxury travel agency specializing in event and luxury travel design for corporate clients, c-level executives, and private clients in search of high-end luxury experiential travel. 

It was only natural that I find a way to meld together my love for travel with my expertise in event planning.  Along with my team at MPE, I use my passion, knowledge, and event management skills to create bespoke travel experiences that cultivate relationships and strengthen businesses. 

A wealth of knowledge and experience, stellar global relationships, and love of off-the-beaten-path adventures are poured into every event and trip we design. 

We value each client we work with and each global community we visit. An appreciation for culture is at the heart of what we do, and our mission is to share that with our clients through bespoke, custom-curated travel experiences.

 I am Lindsey Miller, a photographer, an observer, an explorer, and an artist.

Curiosity is my passion, and I love experiencing new people, places, and events through the lens of my camera. 

I first fell in love with photography when I began to travel almost 20 years ago - being able to capture my travel experience on film and relive the memories after the trip awoke the artist in me. I decided to study photography, and in 2010, I pursued it full-time, having never looked back.

Over the years, I have had the experience of working in many different fields of photography.  I have photographed important life events like weddings and family portraits.  I’ve worked with corporate clients to document large conferences and incentive travel trips.  I’ve worked with small businesses and entrepreneurs to create imagery to reflect their brands. 

And, of course, I’ve documented my personal travels around the world.

I've always had a love for history and good food. Coming from a small, rural town, I had few opportunities to travel.  When I became a teacher, I met students from all over the world. I encouraged families to visit my classroom to share a little about their home countries. Soon, I found myself daydreaming about these amazing places. Then, one day, I took a leap. My stepson, a serious foodie, wanted to travel to France for his 16th birthday. It made me reflect upon my life, and what I missed out as a child, and I didn’t want that for him. So we booked it. Who doesn’t want to go to France, drinking amazing wine,  grazing on cheese and macroons all day while walking around The Louve? My heart sang as soon as my feet hit the gourd in France. This trip ignited something inside of me, and I knew I didn’t want to stop there. Ever since, I have been finding ways to travel and helping others explore their dream destinations. 

I'm currently an elementary special education teacher and swim coach. I have two daughters of my own and a teenage stepson. I own a small liquor store with my husband in Northern New York and take every school vacation I can to travel. I try to immerse myself in each destination's local food and spirits as well as checking out some of the history. 

Have you ever experienced a moment that changed the path of your life? This happened to me when I became an exchange student in Australia. Those experiences dramatically changed my life so much that I immediately called the university where I had been accepted to study pre-medicine and explained that I would not be attending due to my newfound wanderlust. Experiencing new locations with others who share my sense of adventure and wonder for the world became my heart’s focus. My bucket list is never-ending, and my soul doesn’t rest until I have the next trip (or two) scheduled. Experiencing the beauty of different cultures, people, and traditions has become my life’s mission. The anticipation of a trip is almost as good as the trip itself. No matter how much I travel, it never quenches my thirst for more. I cannot wait to bring my passion for discovery to you. Maybe it will change the path of your life, too!

In addition to my worldly adventures, I am a proud mother of two amazing teenage boys, Slate and Sawyer. As they’ve grown, I have taken them on many trips with me and have loved the experiences we have shared; their youthful joy and exuberance always remind me how life is meant to be lived. I also recently married Jared, with whom I shared many travel escapades when we were younger. Upon reconnecting after some years apart and sharing our travel tales, I am again reminded of just how much of this world I have yet to experience, and I am so inspired to do so. He and I are continually dreaming of our subsequent bucket list explorations. If I am not adventuring, I can be found working part-time at a local chiropractic office or managing our 1800s guest house on our 600-acre family farm.
