Hi there! I’m Penny, the heart and soul behind Escape by Travel, based in Cloquet. Since 2013, I’ve been immersed in the travel world—not just from behind my desk, but out exploring with my boots on the ground, visiting resorts and uncovering new destinations firsthand. Why? Because nothing beats real experience when it comes to planning the perfect getaway for you! Knowledge is power, and my handson adventures mean I can help you travel with confidence and ease.

Here’s just a taste of the fun trips I specialize in crafting:

Gliding along scenic River & Ocean Cruises

Discovering the charm of Europe and the UK

Thrilling African Safaris & breathtaking Arctic tours

Romantic escapes—think destination weddings, honeymoons, elopements & anniversaries

Escorted Tours, SelfDrive Adventures, and Private Chauffeur Tours

Group Travel for any size crew, big or small

Beyond travel, I’m proud to be deeply involved in the Moose Lake Chamber community since 2013, serving multiple years on the board and now stepping into the role of President. I’m eager to learn about your business and how we can grow together!

A little about me outside the office: I’m happily married of 24 years with 4 amazing kids and 13 grandchildren (yes, life’s busy and beautiful!). I adore turquoise waters and scuba diving—I've even dived alongside sharks in both the Caribbean and Pacific Oceans. As a fan of captivating historical dramas like Outlander, The Crown, and Vikings, my love for storytelling feeds my passion for travel, especially to the UK and Europe. River cruising has truly captured my heart, with journeys along the Danube, Rhine, and Rhone rivers under my belt—and next up, a winefilled cruise along the Bordeaux River in France. Can't wait for that one!

Whenever you’re ready to turn your travel dreams into reality, reach out anytime by phone, email, or Facebook. My home office is open by appointment, and I’m here to make every step of your trip planning smooth and exciting.

Remember, booking with Escape by Travel means you’re supporting a local business that cares deeply about your journey.
