Our Team
Hilary Wilkes
Founder and Travel AdvisorA lifelong traveler, Hilary launched Scout Travel after over a decade of outfitting customers at her family’s clothing store for trips across the globe. She brings her commitment to ensuring every traveler is appropriately equipped for whatever adventures await to the logistical curation of the planning process, and enjoys working directly with her clients to provide a thoughtful approach to every detail of their experience.
Long-haul travel can be overwhelming, and with her experiences in Africa and Asia, along with a joy of planning multi-generational itineraries, Hilary believes in making every traveler’s time well spent and easily navigable while providing a “something for everyone” approach for groups and families.
