Cozumel, Cancun, the Riveria Maya and Playa del Carmen. Some of the most breathtaking vacation spots you’ll ever travel to. Imagine, walking down a white sand beach, fresh made margarita in your hand, bright and sunny skies as far as your eyes can take you and the sound of ocean waves rolling up on shore. Are you ready to pack your bags yet? Not quite? Okay, can you imagine yourself relaxing in one of the more than thirty spa resorts these places have to offer? Where professionals at the top of their field will care for your every need. Reset your body, mind and soul with pampering, relaxation and personalized beauty treatments. Now are you ready? I thought so. If all-inclusive is your style Cancun is your place. You’ll enjoy endless food, drinks entertainment and activities throughout the day and night. No need to budget when it’s all you can eat and enjoy. Cancun is a popular destination for honeymooners, spring breakers, families and destination weddings. There’s something for everyone when you visit this paradise on the Yucatán Peninsula. You’ll enjoy activities such as snorkeling in the clear blue waters, hiking along picturesque trails, jet skiing through the lagoons and taking in the spectacular views while parasailing. If you’re a history buff then the Mayan Museum has you covered with its ancient artifacts and iconic pieces of the sites of Palenque, Chichén Itzá and Comalcalco. Or, take a tour through the well preserved Mayan Ruins of Tulum. As your Mexico Travel Agent Advisor I’ll make certain that your dreams come true within your unique budget. Contact me for your next visit to the Cozumel/Cancun area.

Paris the City of Lights Travel Agent Expert

Paris the City of Lights Travel Agent Expert

<p>Have you been dreaming of an unforgettable trip to Paris? If so, I can help as your Paris travel agent advisor. Whether you're a foodie, an art lover, or an adventure seeker, Paris will charm you and provide you with an experience of a lifetime.So, begin making your travel plans now. With my help as your travel agent advisor, you’ll soon find yourself strolling the cobblestone streets of Montmartre, gazing up at the Eiffel Tower as it sparkles at night, or sitting at a cozy café on the Champs Elysees. A visit to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa is a must-site to see as well, and no trip to Paris is complete without a stop at Notre Dame Cathedral.With so much to see and do, Paris is best experienced by just wandering. The winding streets, stop in little shops and cafes, and embrace the joy of discovery. An open-air market, a hidden bookstore, a secret garden. Who knows what treasures you might stumble upon? One thing is certain - magical memories are waiting to be made in the City of Light. Allons-y! (Let’s go!) Your Paris adventure awaits starting now!Top Attractions and Activities for Your Paris Holiday Start your sightseeing at the Eiffel Tower. Take an elevator or stairs to the top levels which offer stunning views of the city. At night, the tower sparkles on the hour, every hour, for 5 minutes.You can't miss the Louvre either, home to famous artworks like the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. Give yourself plenty of time to explore its vast collection. The Notre Dame Cathedral is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Entry to both is free, so you can pop in and out during your Parisian adventure..For panoramic vistas, head to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Montmartre. Climb its white domed basilica and enjoy the vistas. Take in a show at the Moulin Rouge or stroll the Montmartre streets to soak in the ambiance.A boat tour along the river Seine gives you a unique perspective of the city's landmarks. Hop-on hop-off bus tours are a convenient way to get around with informative audio guides. For shopping, stroll the Champs-Élysées or Le Marais district.Indulge in Paris Foods and Drinks While in Paris, you absolutely must indulge in the delicious food and drinks. Here are some essentials to try:Croissants No trip to Paris is complete without devouring a warm, flaky croissant. Stop by a local bakery and get one for breakfast - you and your palate will never regret it.Crepes Thin pancakes filled with chocolate, fruit, or Nutella. Crepes are a perfect snack and popular street food. Look for vendors selling crepes from carts, especially in Montmartre.MacaronsThe French macaron, made of two colorful meringue cookies with buttercream or ganache in the middle, are little bites of heaven. Sample some from Ladurée, the luxury bakery that helped popularize them.CheeseWith over 400 varieties of French cheese, you'll find plenty of fromage in Paris. Try a cheese platter, or pick up a wedge of Camembert, Roquefort, or Brie to enjoy with a baguette.WineWhat better place to drink wine than the City of Light? Sample delicious reds like Pinot Noir, Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon, or whites like Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay or Muscadet. For the full experience, visit a cafe or brasserie.Savor all the delectable tastes Paris has to offer. From buttery croissants to creamy Brie, and fruity wines to chocolate crepes, your taste buds will thank you for the indulgence. Bon appetit!Hidden Gems: Off-the-Beaten-Path Sites in ParisParis is filled with world-famous attractions like the Eiffel Tower, Louvre museum, and Notre Dame cathedral. However, some of the city’s most charming spots are hidden away from the tourist crowds.One such place is the charming Le Marais district, with its trendy boutiques, art galleries, and dining spots. As you wander the winding cobblestone streets, you’ll discover gems like the Musée Picasso and the Musée National des Arts et Métiers, a science and industrial design museum. For a sweet treat, stop by L’Eclair de Génie, which sells colorful eclairs in flavors like salted caramel, pistachio, and lemon meringue. The Latin Quarter, home to the Sorbonne university, exudes a bookish type charm. Browse the stalls at the Bouquinistes booksellers along the Seine riverbank. Peek inside the Gothic church of Saint-Séverin. For a sweet crepe or savory galette (buckwheat crepe), stop by Breizh Café, a popular crêperie that uses organic ingredients.Venturing off the tourist track will allow you to discover the Paris that Parisians know and love. You’ll find that the City of Light still holds secrets behind each corner, waiting to charm you and create memories that you can share at home..Between the world-class museums, inviting cafes, stunning architecture, and the French capital’s vibrant nightlife, you'll never run out of things to do. Give me a call now to arrange your Paris holiday. As your Paris travel advisor, I look forward to planning your dream trip of a lifetime! Contact me today so we can get started right away! </p>

Daena is friendly, knowledgeable and great to work with. It is our second time working with her to plan our Disney vacation. She is very knowledgeable and presents options in a no pressure manner to meet your preferences and budget. She made some great suggestions for new things to try (restaurant venues and tours). Loved them all!!
Mandy - Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Daena did a wonderful job of planning and making all of the arrangements for our cruise vacation to Alaska. She handled the flights, accommodations before and after our cruise, all cruise arrangements, all cruise excursions, dinner reservations, absolutely everything. She made sure everything we needed was handled and we could just enjoy our vacation. I have used Daena in the past and will definitely use her in the future. I highly recommend having her plan your next trip!
