I’m Erin Miller Arnold — an artist, textile designer, and longtime travel planner who’s been exploring the world one thoughtfully designed experience at a time.

Over the years, I’ve traveled to 26 countries (some more than once), lived aboard a sailboat in the Caribbean with my family, and built a reputation among friends and clients as the go-to person for unique, well-researched trips.

I started Grateful Travel as a way to bring all of that together — my love for beautiful places, creative details, and helping others discover the kind of travel that lingers long after you return home. Whether you’re joining one of my small-group design and culture tours or looking for help planning your own trip, I’m here to create something that feels personal, inspiring, and stress-free.
