Meet Marina Tack

Travel Planner, Foodie, Photographer, and Founder of 2 Tacks Travel Agency, LLC
With over three decades of experience in the Culinary Arts and hospitality, I have a passion for creating meaningful, well-designed journeys that connect people to places, flavors, and cultures. I help my clients explore the world with ease, excitement, and confidence — whether they’re planning a solo escape, a family adventure, a group getaway, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

I hold an Honors Culinary Arts degree from Johnson & Wales University (2005) and have worked every position in the food service industry — from dishwasher and busser to Executive Chef and full-service Restaurant Manager. This hands-on experience fuels my deep appreciation for authentic food and cultural-centered travel, inspiring many of the custom itineraries and immersive tours I create for my clients.

As a photographer, I also design and capture unforgettable moments, from North Carolina Flying Dress Photoshoots to curated Outer Banks getaway photo packages. My goal is to give every client not just a trip, but a beautifully told travel story — one they’ll remember for a lifetime.

At 2 Tacks Travel, LLC, I combine my culinary expertise, love of art and history, commitment to accessibility, and eye for photography to deliver first-class service for every budget. Whether you’re tasting wine on the Barrels n’ Bites Outer Banks Tour, sailing to new horizons, or exploring hidden gems around the globe, I’ll be there to make sure every detail is perfectly tailored to you.

I bring a unique perspective to every itinerary I create. Whether you dream of sailing the Pacific or Atlantic, exploring Barcelona or Hawaii by land, or embarking on your first big adventure, I design journeys for solo travelers, couples, families, schools, and groups of all sizes.

As a certified travel specialist with leading travel companies, I ensure you receive the best, most comprehensive rate for your trip — price matching whenever possible — while curating a package that reflects your needs, wants, and style of travel.
