“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Hello, I’m La-Tessa Montgomery, the heart & soul behind The Spirited Traveler.

As The Spirited Traveler, I believe life’s greatest joys are found in the experiences we create, the adventures we embark on, and the little moments that make us smile. Whether it’s exploring new destinations, crafting bespoke cocktails, or simply savoring life’s small pleasures, I’m here to empower women-especially those over 40-to step out of their comfort zones and embrace the world with curiosity and courage.

My Journey is fueled by a deep love for travel and a passion for crafting unique and delicious cocktails. I don’t just visit places, I immerse in the culture, food, and spirit of each destination. Every trip is an opportunity to connect with the world, to taste its flavors, and to discover the hidden gems that make each place special.

But my adventures don’t end there. Back home, I channel that same spirit of discovery into my love for cocktails and spirits. From classic concoctions to my own inventive creations, I believe in the art of mixing flavors that tell a story and bring joy in every sip.

The Spirited Traveler is not just a blog, it’s a celebration of life’s adventures, big and small. It’s about finding joy in the journey, whether you’re wandering through a new city or simply enjoying a well-crafted drink at home. So, come along with me let’s explore, taste, and toast to a life well lived.

Pursuing joie de vivre thru travel, adventure, & adult beverages.
