Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Erica Carr
I love notebooks, Nespresso, and brand new Sharpie pens. I’m a first-born Enneagram 1 (intense, right?). I love building things, systems, efficiency, organization, and to-do lists.
I’m a self-critic (hello, Enneagram 1). A wife. An aunt. A foster mom. A ferocious traveler.
I hold a lot of boxes (AKA wear a lot of hats) as the Founder of bookitbox TRAVEL. I am personally involved in designing each client's travel experience, every social media post, and crafting our Inside the Box Club emails.
And I love every part of it.
MEET THE TEAM
It all started when...
...some of our best friends didn't have time to plan their trip to Spain. They booked flights to Barcelona, but that was as far as they got. Enter me - a first-born, Enneagram 1 who couldn't bear the thought of them showing up in a city for the first time with nothing planned to do. They gave me their trip dates, budget, and trip wish list and off I went....to Hobby Lobby. Yes, the craft store. I knew that I couldn't just book them a hotel room and activities and let that be it. I wanted it to be an experience, from the moment they started packing their bags. So I got a kraft brown paper box, a bunch of envelopes, some fun travel goodies and started planning.
Each day's itinerary and reserved events were in a daily, sealed envelope. Included were recommended itineraries, priority access tickets to the must-see monuments, off-the-beaten path suggestions, dining reservations, and even a 2-day interim vacation to San Sebastian, Spain.
Every night, they opened the following day's folder to disclose their plans. They loved it...and so did all of their friends on social media! And from there, bookitbox TRAVEL was born.
And we're so thankful for our little bundle of joy!
