Why Work With Me

My travel agency focuses on providing excellent service and attention to details, while focusing on your unique vacation budget and needs. By sharing my firsthand knowledge of the most popular resorts and cruise lines, I’ll make sure your vacation is truly memorable. That’s personal attention you won’t find anywhere else. In addition to traveling to many of the most popular destinations myself, I have also worked closely with many of the top travel suppliers. I’ll use my training and industry certifications to keep you informed of the newest resort features and amenities. Ready to Start Planning your next Vacation?
My Specialties
Plan the Cruise Vacation of a Lifetime
Are you dreaming of flawless beaches and a picturesque paradise, highlighted by the glow of the sun as it dips below the Caribbean horizon? Perhaps you’d rather awaken before dawn and greet the day with the sun as it peeks out over a glacier in Alaska. Or maybe your paradise is a cobblestone city square surrounded by beautiful buildings – a view sure to be best enjoyed from a nearby café.
I can help you find the cruise that fits your budget and is perfectly tailored to your wishes. There are several cruise lines and ships to choose from whether you’re looking for family fun, non-stop adventure, or the luxury of the finest cuisine and onboard entertainment.
Whether your heart is set on the river or the ocean, I’ll arrange your cruise, pre- or post-cruise accommodations, shore excursions, and air travel so your vacation will be smooth sailing.
Maximize Your Fun While Exploring
Many long to explore the world, but the daunting task of coordinating the details of visiting other countries often puts a damper on those dreams. Working together, we will discuss the destinations on your bucket list and determine the best itineraries and tour style for you. But the help doesn’t stop there – I will be with you each step of the way, addressing your questions and concerns so when departure day arrives, you are confident in your plans and excited to travel.
Prefer to stay closer to home? Touring the United States and exploring the beauty of our own backyard couldn’t be easier when together we create itineraries that include your transportation, accommodations, and activities or we explore organized tour options.
Maximize your sightseeing and minimize your stress when I connect you with your dream destinations on a tour that is perfectly matched to you.
Enjoy the Best of Life
If you’re looking to plan a stress-free and relaxing vacation, staying at an all-inclusive resort tops the list. At these resorts, your accommodations, food, drinks, activities, entertainment, and more are all included in your package rate. This means that from the moment you arrive on the resort property, you can indulge in all that your amazing vacation experience has to offer.
Countless Options for Every Vacation Style
Whether you’re looking for the luxury of an adults-only property or a family-friendly resort with endless options for fun, there are plenty of resorts to choose from. Let’s discuss what is on your resort wish list, and I will play matchmaker to help pair you with the perfect resort for your next vacation.
Family Fun for Everyone
Imagine getting away with your family without the stress of trying to plan everything. Whether you have toddlers or teenagers, I can help direct you to the best destination, resort, or cruise that fits your budget and your needs.
Want to set sail on a cruise to the Caribbean? I can match you up with the cruise line that has the best amenities and activities for children of all ages.
Interested in sharing the cultural experience of Europe? I’ll coordinate all your travel needs including transportation, accommodations, and activities so you can focus on all the incredible sights you’ll see and food you’ll taste!
Prefer to lounge poolside watching your children splashing in the water? I can help you choose a resort that matches your family’s fun factor and provides memories to reflect on for years to come.
Traveling with a Group Multiplies the Fun
If you are considering group travel for a wedding, meeting, reunion, association, or a social event, you want to be sure you are planning that trip with a travel professional.
There are many working parts to group travel. I will be your partner and advocate during the planning, booking, and completion of your trip. I will recommend the best group option for you and your group, manage the details, and ensure a stress-free experience for you and your guests.
Celebrate Love on Your Next Getaway
Write the next chapter in your love story with a memorable honeymoon, destination wedding, vow renewal, or anniversary trip! Or, vacation with your favorite people before your wedding day on a fun bachelor/bachelorette getaway. When you’re planning a romance-inspired vacation, you’ll want an expert in your corner to make sure every detail is exactly as you imagined.
Honeymoons: Whether your style is candlelight dinners on the beach or morning strolls through cobblestone streets, we can craft a honeymoon that is the perfect first chapter in the new book you’re writing together.
Destination Weddings: Get married away and spend more time with the people you love while enjoying your wedding celebration. Assist with the details, but leave the planning to the pros so you can focus on your beloved, your family, and your friends.
Anniversaries: Honor the milestones in your relationship by traveling to a paradise far from home where you can escape the mundane and focus on one another.
