Marla Fowler
Founder, Filling the Nest

Founded by Marla Fowler, Filling the Nest is a highly personalized, detail-obsessed travel design firm that specializes in creating meaningful, hands-on experiences for its clients. Known for exceptional service and creative, custom-tailored itineraries, Filling the Nest needed a platform that could match both their operational demands and their artistic vision.

The Challenge

Filling the Nest is built on delivering exceptionally hands-on service—every proposal and itinerary is a reflection of their signature personal touch. But creating that level of polish and detail for every trip was time-consuming and required a platform flexible enough to support their creativity while remaining efficient.

Marla and her team wanted more than just an itinerary builder. They needed a system that could help them deliver deeply immersive, engaging proposals and itineraries that would truly wow their clients—and do so at scale.

The Solution

When Marla and her team discovered Safari Portal, they quickly recognized it as the creative toolkit they’d been looking for. They fully embraced its functionality—especially the customizable and interactive elements—to deliver a truly elevated client experience.


“Y'all make it so easy to look good 😂”

With Safari Portal, Filling the Nest designed a custom itinerary template that perfectly matches the aesthetic of their website and brand. They’ve become true super users, taking advantage of features like the iframe element to bring their itineraries and proposals to life with highly interactive content:

  • Embedded Spotify playlists curated to set the perfect mood for a client’s journey.

  • Custom videos of Marla herself walking clients through their itineraries for a truly personal touch.

  • Weather widgets that show daily forecasts directly in the Travel Portal app so clients see relevant weather at each destination day by day.

  • Restaurant menus embedded so everything is at clients’ fingertips while they travel.

  • Custom “Book Now” buttons with clear calls to action for easy booking and payment.

  • Interactive maps with curated activities and personalized suggestions to make exploring seamless.

“I've been pumping out arcades/embedding like nobody's business and absolutely loving this feature—total game changer! Also LOVING the BOOK NOW button!!”
