Collect moments, not things.

One evening my husband called to say he was on his way home from work. I asked how his day had been. He let out a big sigh and said “I’m not looking forward to tomorrow. It’s going to be a shit show.” To which I giggled and responded, “Well, we could always just skip town!” In that moment I knew I had found it, the name and the feeling for this travel agency.

Hi! My name is Riley Ellis-Beach and I am the founder of SkipTown. Similar to myself, SkipTown is spontaneous, courageous and has a go-for-it attitude. It is thoughtful and loves to have fun and make memories. SkipTown encompasses the feeling of having butterflies in your stomach, not quite sure what the future holds but knowing that no matter what it will be an exciting and fulfilling ride.

Here are a few fun facts about me!

All-time favorite travel destination: Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
My favorite regional food: Rice & Beans (regional to the Caribbean, rice & beans made with coconut milk and usually served with jerk chicken)
Item I can’t leave home without: Eye cover and ear buds!
Favorite travel books: Eat Pray Love, The Alchemist

Testimonials

SkipTown is AMAZING! Quick survey to say what you want out of your trip,then all you do is GO! No hassle of booking or making ANY decisions, definition of a vacation! We opted for a short road trip weekend away. it was perfect, short of the weather derailing our paddle boarding plans. But even with the change, we were quickly reimbursed and Riley had a number of things lined up to fill the void. I will 100% be using SkipTown again!

“I loved my trip with SkipTown!! I travel a lot and like planning my own trips - but I really enjoyed the mystery trip idea and the new adventure of not knowing where you’re going. The length of the trip was great, my surprise envelope had lots of good suggestions for activities and restaurants, and I loved the little personal touches Riley added for me. 10/10 would recommend!”

- Kendall DeLyser

“I went on a super fun girls' trip to Ft. Lauderdale with SkipTown! The surprise destination added an element of adventure, and the itinerary and recommendations provided kept us having fun and eating great food for the whole trip. I will definitely book another trip with SkipTown!”

- Liz Bennett

“My surprise trip was everything I hoped it would be! When I opened my envelope at the airport, I was so excited to learn I was headed to a warm sunny beach! One activity was planned out- and then a detailed daily itinerary came in my packet that offered the perfect amount of options for meals, shopping, and relaxation. A week before my trip, I received a detailed weather report so I would know what type of clothes to pack. If you’re looking for a way to spoil yourself, or treat your loved ones on a trip, this is the way to do it! Have fun and Go SkipTown!!”
