A Personal Introduction from Alison McMaster the Heart behind MPE

Alison McMaster, Luxury Travel Planner, MPE Founder, Travel Expert, Corporate Retreats, Small Group Travel

Welcome to Masterfully Planned Experiences (MPE). If you’re new here, I’m Alison McMaster, founder and travel expert. At MPE, I specialize in crafting luxury travel experiences, from small-group adventures to high-end corporate retreats and private getaways.

My Journey: A Global Perspective on Travel

Born in the Boston area, my love for exploration took me across the U.S. to Los Angeles, New York City, and Charleston before I embraced life abroad in the UK, Australia, and Bolivia. These experiences gave me a deep understanding of cultural immersion and authentic travel, shaping how I design unique journeys for my clients.

Today, I’m back in Boston, raising my teenage boys while continuing to curate extraordinary travel experiences for those who want more than just a trip—they want a journey that transforms.

Why Choose Masterfully Planned Experiences?

What sets MPE apart is our commitment to seamless, personalized travel. Whether you’re planning a luxury escape, a corporate retreat, or a once-in-a-lifetime small-group journey, every experience is designed with care and precision.

When I’m not planning incredible itineraries, you’ll find me:

  • Tending to my beehives and garden
  • Playing a round of golf
  • Exploring the ocean as a certified rescue diver
  • Training my mini labradoodle, Addie, to be my future travel companion

I’ve had the privilege of visiting 44 countries, with my goal set on reaching 50 by the end of this year. One of my most profound experiences was leading a global retreat in Uganda, where I encountered gorillas and chimpanzees in their natural habitat—a humbling reminder of travel’s ability to inspire and transform.
