Welcome to Pages to Planes!

Who I Am

My name is Maddie and I am the creator of Pages to Planes.

I am an avid dreamer who has a Pinterest board full of articles about Top Things to do in [fill in your dream location]. (My dream vacation destination is everywhere!)

I am also a voracious reader of novels and a big believer in armchair travel. Just as planes transport us, so do words.

In fact, I am an aspiring fiction novelist with dreams of one day being a full time author. I enjoy creating my own worlds full of complex characters and hope to one day be able to present a published book to you!

Pages to Planes is where I catalogue my exciting (and nerdy) travel experiences, my favorite (and, yes, also nerdy) books, and muse about all the things in the world that fascinate me.

How it Started

Young Maddie reading on a rock by a lake

In elementary school, I was the kid who sat against the wall of the school with a book open on my knees. I always finished the library-sponsored summer reading challenges within the first month. When I was forced to attend my brother’s baseball games–you guessed it–I was reading.

When I was nine, my grandparents took my brother and me on a trip to England, France, and the Netherlands. While the first 24 hours were nightmare inducing (my poor, life-choice questioning grandparents) as I proceeded to get food poisoning on the plane and vomit all over the rental car office, the rental car, my shoes, my brother’s hoodies, and the hotel… But the rest of the experience was magical!

I was hooked.
