Travel well. Travel beautifully.

Hi, I’m Alison- founder of Port & Province and curator of meaningful travel experiences, inspired by sun-washed villages, blooming balconies, and the effortless elegance of linen dresses and the light, fresh scent of lemons in the breeze.

I’m drawn to places where time seems to pause, where café tables spill into quiet squares, shutters fade gracefully under the sun, and every corner holds a sense of story. You’ll find me browsing the brocante markets of Provence or exploring the charming antique shops along the coast of Maine. Drawn to old books, timeworn linens, and pieces with a past and a little patina.

After years working in libraries and historical archives, I created Port & Province for curious, cultured travelers who appreciate elegance without pretense, those who seek travel that’s both enriching and effortlessly beautiful.

Whether it’s a weekend escape to a historic harbor town in New England or a small-group journey through sun-drenched villages in Italy, I craft experiences that blend cultural richness with soft, relaxed sophistication.

At Port & Province, travel is about savoring the details, discovering stories, and embracing the joy of slow wandering.

Let’s plan your next unforgettable chapter, together!
