The Beatrice Bradley Travel Oath

As we begin our shared journey, we at Beatrice Bradley invite everyone to embrace kindness and respect. Group travel offers a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and create unforgettable experiences. We must foster a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for all participants. 

We recognize that each traveler brings unique perspectives and backgrounds. Differences may arise, but our collective response to these moments shapes our experience. Let us commit to patience, understanding, and tolerance. Through active listening, open communication, and embracing individuality, we can assist one another and share words of encouragement. 

Travelers also bear a personal responsibility to uphold these values. By actively participating in creating a positive environment, each member enhances the group’s dynamic and enriches the collective experience.

MERCY SELLS

Mercy grew up in The Last Frontier in Anchorage, Alaska. From early childhood, she was exposed to wilderness adventures in the great outdoors. Whether she was running in the mountains, canoeing from the foot of Portage Glacier, skiing on the vast trail systems, orienteering through wilderness territory, shooting at the Cook Inlet range, moose hunting with friends, hiking remotely with bear bells or fishing for Alaskan salmon and halibut, she never strayed far from her love for adventure and the outdoors. Her sense of adventure has continued to develop as she has lived in Oregon, Minnesota, California and Colorado. Mercy currently resides with her family in Las Vegas, NV.

Mercy’s business career has been as eclectic as her outdoor experiences. Including a wide array of specialties such as sales, marketing, hospitality, luxury travel, branding and hunting and fishing sales and partnerships. All of these contribute to her success here at Gage Outdoors.

GRACE KALAN
Trip Coordinator and Trip Builder

Based in Dallas, Grace Kalan brings energy, grit, and a global perspective to every adventure she helps create. The daughter of founder Kim Kalan, Grace has spent her life traveling, exploring, and learning what it takes to craft truly unforgettable experiences—most recently returning from a trip to Norway that deepened her passion for international travel.

A proud Youth Patriot and avid outdoorswoman, Grace is as comfortable in the field as she is planning world-class trips. Her love for hunting, nature, and meaningful connection fuels everything she does.

Never one to turn her back on something in need, Grace rescued her dog, Duece, from a ditch with a broken leg—and he’s been by her side ever since. Loyal, tough, and full of heart, Duece is a reflection of who Grace is at her core.

With her adventurous spirit, strong values, and real-world experience, Grace is stepping confidently into her role—helping create journeys that are bold, memorable, and rooted in something deeper.
