Taylor Phillips

Hello! I'm Taylor Phillips, a Nashville-based travel advisor with a passion for exploring new destinations and immersing myself in diverse cultures. As a Tennessee native, I have always been captivated by the idea of discovering the world beyond my hometown. My travel philosophy centers on embracing new experiences and delving deep into the local culture of each place I visit. I believe that the best way to truly understand a destination is through its cuisine and social gatherings. Whether it's savoring a traditional meal or enjoying rooftop drinks with locals, these moments offer authentic insights into the heart of a place. I prefer a well-planned itinerary that allows me to fully experience all that a destination has to offer, ensuring that every day is filled with adventure and discovery. In my role as a travel advisor, I specialize in crafting personalized journeys to Europe, the United States, national parks, and vibrant cities. I also have a keen interest in food and wine experiences, understanding that culinary adventures are often at the forefront of memorable travel. One of my favorite destinations is Athens, Greece. In my travel guide, "Athens is All Greek to Me," I share insights into the city's rich history and vibrant culture, offering tips on exploring ancient sites and enjoying local delicacies. Another highlight is London, featured in "London Calling with a Cheeky Grin," where I delve into the city's unique blend of tradition and modernity, from iconic landmarks to hidden gems. When it comes to accommodations, I have a few favorites that I often recommend to my clients. In Athens, the Gatsby Athens offers a blend of timeless elegance and modern luxury, providing a lavish experience in the heart of the city. In San Antonio, Texas, Hotel Emma stands out as a destination-style hotel for foodies and culture lovers, located at the north end of downtown. In Nashville, the Graduate Nashville offers a characterful stay in the heart of Midtown, with a love of all things Dolly Parton and a rooftop restaurant. Whether you're looking to explore the historic streets of Athens, the bustling markets of London, or the vibrant neighborhoods of Nashville, I'm here to help you plan a journey that aligns with your interests and creates lasting memories. Let's embark on your next adventure together!
