I grew up on Star Wars and Star Trek and came of age during the release of the Lord of the Rings and Studio Ghibli movies. In my 20's I found Doctor Who, Sherlock, Supernatural (SuperWhoLock), BBC's Merlin, and so many more great shows. As an avid reader, I love fantasy novels, dystopian and historical fiction, romance, YA, Contemporary fiction, and a plethora of non-fiction titles. In my early 30's I fell down the K-Pop & K-Drama rabbit hole, and here we are. I have a gecko named Yoshi.

(That's a Zelda reference, we promise!) Have a long commute? Erin has been featured on travel and marketing podcasts. Hear her story and why she's passionate about both travel and the fandom community.
Published in January 2022, this conversation covers a range of topics in travel and pop-culture. It dives into the fandom mindset and how travel brings fans closer to the books, music, movies, and shows that they already love.
Part Three of the "Amazing Women Doing Amazing Things" series on this podcast featured an interview with Erin, discussing her start in the industry and the development of the pop-culture travel niche.
Erin shares her pivot from selling travel that didn't resonate with her to focusing on the unique niche of pop culture travel. From movie and TV show-inspired tours to crafting K-Pop vacations, Erin found her clients and her calling.
