What is an Escape Toaster? The short answer: my car. Specifically, my beloved Honda Element — which, if you've ever seen one, bears an unmistakable resemblance to a pop-up toaster.
But the name is more than that.
When my partner and I left the touring portion of our careers, we found ourselves craving more travel — just without the budget to do it the way we imagined. One night, talking through all the places we wanted to go and wondering how we'd ever get there, he looked at me and said: "We could always road trip and sleep in The Toaster. It could be our little home on wheels for quick getaways."
And I said, "Sort of like an Escape Toaster."
The name was born that night — originally intended for a travel blog where we'd document our adventures and the build-out of our rolling home base. Then 2020 happened, and like a lot of plans, it took a different shape. Escape Toaster became Escape Toaster Creative, a décor installation and creative project management company. It evolved. It adapted.
Now, with a move to Tucson and a calling to the travel industry, Escape Toaster has come full circle — arriving exactly where it was always meant to be. Because at the end of the day, Escape Toaster Adventures exists on a simple belief: everyone deserves the opportunity to travel. Even if you have to sleep in your car.
Hi, I'm Kelsey. Before I became a travel advisor, I spent years working in live entertainment and television — which meant I got to travel. A lot. It started touring with Disney on Ice, where I visited 15+ countries, 38 states, and countless cities over the course of just a few years. My most formative travel experience came when I had the extraordinary opportunity to live and work in Japan for three months, moving to a new city and region every single week.
From the moment I stepped off the train from the airport, I knew I was somewhere that would change me. Convenience stores became daily adventures. I climbed Mt. Fuji to watch the sunrise. I lived like a local, shared meals with people who became some of my closest friends, and learned that no amount of research fully prepares you for the moment you step into a world that's completely new. I've been chasing that feeling ever since — and helping others find it.
I became a travel advisor because I believe everyone deserves a trip worth talking about. Not just people with unlimited budgets. Everyone. Whether you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or your family's first big vacation, my job is to make sure you go well-prepared, well-cared-for, and ready to actually enjoy it.
