MY VISION
We believe that travel is so much more than stamps on a passport or completing a destination “to do” list.
Travel is about discovering and creating a personal connection to people and cultures - and truly experiencing the essence of a locale. The awe that brings you to the brink of tears as your take in a Santorini sunset…that’s connection. The shared laughter as your raise a stein at a local Bavarian festival…that’s connection. The sigh of fulfillment as you roam a secluded Caribbean beach…that’s connection.
And that is what We want for you
I’m Stacy
Owner and Senior Travel Advisor/Specialist
Before founding Epic Sands Travel, I was fortunate to have already traveled extensively throughout the world. Whether discovering the magic of a region on a first-time visit, or returning to a favorite city, every trip created deeper connection to - and a greater curiosity about - our world. Travel became my passion. As I continued to explore and indulge my curiosity and wanderlust, that passion became my calling.
While former careers in education and project management/guest services provided insightful experience, sharing and applying my passion for travel by creating personalized and bespoke journeys for my clients has, by far, been my most rewarding role.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to create the joy of travel for others.
Now currently residing in the Woodstock/Canton area of Georgia, my greatest joy in life is exploring the world with my husband and son. Our adventures together open my eyes to new perspectives, and bring us fresh insights and deeper connections to the world around us.

FAVORITE ADVENTURES
Easter Markets in Prague and Budapest ~ Old world Springtime Perfection
Strolling a river promenade to the cadence of ringing cathedral bells, the scent of baking chimney cakes wafting in the breeze against the technicolor backdrop of budding flora.
A family snorkel adventure in St. Thomas ~ with Carl, the
baby turtle
My sole mission on this trip was to provide my sea turtle-obsessed son an up-close-and personal experience with these gentle, amazing creatures. Mission accomplished.
The best meal I’ve EVER had ~ Dinner under the stars at an agriturismo (working farm B&B) in Tuscany
Preparing the meal with our hosts…ingredients from their farm, wine from their vineyard…I can’t wait to go back.
MEET THE TEAM
Hi, I’m Ansley!
A travel advisor with a passion for creating unforgettable experiences and meaningful connections. I believe planning a trip should feel just as exciting and personal as the journey itself. I love getting to know my clients, understanding what makes them feel relaxed, inspired, and taken care of, and then bringing that vision to life.
With over 11 years in the beauty industry and as the owner of a successful lash extension studio, I’ve built my career around helping people feel confident, cared for, and truly valued.
When it comes to my own travels, I’m all about balance. I’m drawn to adventure-packed itineraries filled with new experiences, but I’ll never say no to unwinding on a beautiful Caribbean beach with nothing on the agenda.
Whether you’re dreaming of adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, I’m here to make sure every detail is thoughtfully handled so you can travel with ease and confidence.
Travel Advisor
Hello, I am Cecelia!
I am excited and honored to be part of the Epic Sands Travel team! While my travel adventures have not yet taken me to every destination on my wish list, they have given me something equally valuable: a genuine appreciation for the connections and experiences that travel creates.
Throughout my career, I have been immersed in customer service. From hospitality, retail, and healthcare to more than 40 years as a hairstylist, my greatest strength has always been listening and understanding what my clients truly want and need. I believe that every traveler is unique, and I am committed to creating personalized travel experiences that reflect their individual interests, dreams, and goals.
For many years, I have planned vacations for my own family, as well as getaways for my husband and myself. I understand the pressure that can come with coordinating a family vacation, from balancing different interests to managing expectations. What is important is creating an itinerary that keeps everyone happy to help you make the most of your time together. Having experienced those challenges firsthand, I enjoy helping families find the right destination and pace for their travels.
In my current season of life, I find myself drawn to vacations that are more relaxed, with just the right blend of leisure and activity. Whether you are looking for an adventure-filled family getaway, a romantic escape, or a peaceful retreat, I would love the opportunity to help you create a journey that is perfectly suited to your travel style.
