ABOUT me

My mission

Long before the time of iPhones and Google Maps—let alone the compass!—there was Polaris: the North Star. Intrepid explorers would look up at the night sky, pinpoint Polaris, and set their courses with confidence. If they ever felt lost, Polaris was there to provide reassurance.

I want to do the same for you on your own travels.  I am here to provide expert guidance and full support on every aspect of your vacation, so you never feel alone or overwhelmed on your journey.

To be your "North Star" in travel

For an escape that's written in the stars...

Hi! I'm Mary Gore

I grew up in middle-of-nowhere Nebraska—though I always dreamt far beyond my landlocked state’s borders! My first big-girl job required a lot of travel, and I loved every minute of it. But life came at me fast, and before I could even blink, I was married with two kids; those days on the road were swapped for rushed morning school runs, the afternoon activity shuffle, and hurried, distracted dinners.

I was balancing “mom life” with a high-stress corporate career, and it was tempting to let travel fall by the wayside. Instead, though, my family doubled down, putting our vacations on the books and making catching planes a priority.

I’m so glad we did—because now, 25+ countries later, I have a library of memories to look back on (quite literally; we print photobooks after every family vacation, and now I have shelves full of ‘em!). But more than that, I was able to pass on my love of the world to my sons, and help them build the confidence and resilience that only comes from venturing far from home.




About

Founder, Polaris Point Travel

Today, I help my clients carve out time for bond-building,  joy-filled adventures of their own.

Whether you’re aching for more time with your family, your partner, or your friends, there's no better way to enjoy concentrated, distraction-free time together than with a trip. Of course, that’s hard to plan when you can barely find a minute to open your calendar and schedule in your PTO!

That’s why I invite you to hand it all off to me. After a 20+-year corporate career focused on strategy and organization transformation, I combine a creative, adaptive approach with an eagle eye for detail. I’ll dot every “i” in your itinerary, hand-hold you through the entire process, and ensure you feel thoroughly prepared for your journey—no matter where in the world it takes you.
