Experienced Travel Planning

Growing up my parents opted to invest their hard-earned money and resources into travel instead of material things. Ultimately that provided me with the gift of experience. This had an impact on my life in so many ways. Not only did it help me learn that the world is so much bigger than I am, but it also taught me to value time with those I love the most. 

As a wife and mom, I strive to travel with my family abroad and vacation with them. I have been a travel agent since 1998 so that I can help others do the same.

I specialize in booking the following types of vacation experiences:

All-Inclusive Resorts — With so many amazing resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean, deciding which is best for your next vacation can be hard. I love matching my clients with the perfect resort experience based on their needs. 

Destination Weddings — I love working with happy couples who are planning the most important event of their lives. There is a lot of logistics to coordinate destination weddings abroad. I pride myself on my ability to organize everything so that my clients can relax and enjoy their special moments together.

Honeymoons

Group Travel — Families, Weddings, Reunions, Sports 

Cruises — Ocean (Caribbean, Mediterranean, Greece) or River (Danube, Wine)

Foreign Independent Travel — Escorted tours, small group tours, independent car rentals, and custom bespoke itineraries all offer their own experiences and level of travel investment. Let me help you understand the difference and how each will make your trip the most enjoyable. I specialize in Italy, Ireland, and Greece. 

I know that my travelers work hard, and they deserve the vacation of a lifetime.  I want them to enjoy a stress-free vacation where they can return refreshed and recharged for daily life again.
