The Heart of Ouestward.
About me:
The Art of Moving Forward Hi, I’m Erin. I’m a native English speaker, a lifelong educator, and an American currently calling the wild, coastal landscapes of Bretagne home. At Ouestward, I believe the best way to see the world is to truly belong to it. Built on connection, curiosity, and a bit of a wandering spirit, this is a space for people who want to move through life with intention. As a former teacher & community builder—with a decade of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to helping others find their footing and their voice—and now I’m bringing that same passion to the global stage.
Finding Your Voice, Finding Your Way Everything I do is about bringing people together and sharing knowledge. Through Ouestward Voices, I use my background in education to help you find the English words you need to share your story with confidence. That same spirit flows into Ouestward Travel, where I take the stress out of planning so you can focus on the magic of the journey. Whether I’m coaching a professional or exposing my own family to the wonders of the world, I believe that when you have the right tools, you don't just visit a destination—you feel at home the moment you arrive.
The Creative Journey As Ouestward evolves, I continue to find new ways to document the stories we encounter along the way. While I help clients navigate travel between North America and Europe, I also carve out space for the art of the everyday here in France. You’ll often find me hiking coastal paths, cycling through the countryside, or chasing the soft golden light across the Breton landscape.
I’m currently expanding into Family Photography, drawing on years of experience working with children and parents to create authentic portraits that reflect connection, personality, and place.
Whether we’re refining your English, planning a cross-Atlantic journey, or capturing a meaningful moment through my lens, the intention remains the same:
Move forward. Explore more.
