Born in New Orleans, Louisiana and now proudly calling Austin, Texas home, I’m Stephanie Wriborg — founder and travel advisor of Blue Oceans Blue Skies Travel, LLC affiliate of Small World BIG FUN. I’m a proud alumna of Louisiana Tech University, LSU’s Allied Health School, and a lifelong Phi Mu sister. In my career as a physical therapist, I honed my love for problem-solving and supporting others on their journey to healing and independence.
That same passion now fuels my work in travel planning. I’ve learned that travel can be one of life’s greatest motivators and healers—it’s more than a getaway, it’s an experience that can rejuvenate the soul. Through personalized planning, I help clients create trips that are not only memorable but also deeply meaningful and restorative.
My specialty lies in luxury river and ocean cruising, the ultimate blend of comfort and exploration. There’s something magical about unpacking once and waking up each day in a new destination, ready to soak in a country’s history, stroll charming Christmas markets, or feel the sun on your skin with island vibes and ocean breezes. Cruising provides the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, and I love helping my clients discover just how immersive and soul-nourishing these journeys can be.
My love of travel started with a mason jar and a challenge from my parents. My brother and I saved aluminum cans to exchange for coins. The result was over $11 and the magical words from our parents, “you have enough to go to Disney!” That spark, ignited within me after hearing those words, has never left me. Later, our family made travel a cornerstone of our lives, organizing group adventures with friends and family to give our twin daughters a wide, wonder-filled view of the world.
Blue Oceans Blue Skies is my way of continuing that legacy, combining my background in healing with my passion for exploration. Whether it’s a long-awaited bucket list trip or a spontaneous soul escape, I’m here to help turn dreams into lifetime memories.
And because I believe in the power of travel to heal, 5% of every trip booked with me is donated to the National Institute of Mental Health — supporting others on their journey to wellness, one trip at a time.
Let’s turn your mason jar dreams into chasing sunsets and exploring the wonders of the world.
