Meghan Traylor is originally from Moultrie, Georgia, but she’s been on Hilton Head for over a decade. She graduated from Georgia Southern University with a degree in Sociology and planned to get her master’s in social work. After spending the summer of 2012 guiding kayak tours for Outside Brands, she fell in love with the Lowcountry and the company. She spent 8 years in the Retail division before making the move across the office to Outside DMC.

Her favorite part of running Outside DMC is creative problem-solving. Her goal is for clients to relax and enjoy the program they spent months planning.

When she’s not working, Meghan spends time with her family and friends – especially if that means playing tennis or riding bikes together. A day spent Outside is a day well spent!

Megan started her hospitality career working for Marriott International where she learned the “above and beyond” nature of the business. Her passion for people brought her to the south, where she worked for the Culinary Institute of Charleston coordinating a variety of events. Before joining us at Outside, Megan planned luxury vacations for clients visiting the Lowcountry.

When Megan is not helping people create memorable experiences, she is swimming in the ocean, taking in the coastal sunsets, or cuddling up with her fluffball of a cat, Milo. Megan currently resides in Savannah, GA where she has fully embraced the southern belle attitude.
