Specializing in Cruise Travel and Family Adventure

Growing up in a military family, travel has been a constant function of my entire life! I live for adventure and seeing what is out there. Now as a wife and mom to three, we have starting creating a new generation of adventure seekers. I began my professional career as a travel agent in 2017. In 2019, our family sold our house to travel and explore the country. We made it through half of the United States before the pandemic hit, and replanted to beautiful upstate New York. My teens LOVE to travel, whether it is a cruise, going to Disney (any park!), or just somewhere WARM with a nice pool! 

While family cruising is one of my specialties, I also specialize in couple cruising and travel. I've booked with Royal Caribbean, MSC, Disney Cruise Lines, Norwegian, Virgin Voyages, Carnival, and Princess.

Sea legs not your thing? I have also booked all-inclusive resorts, Hawaii, and Europe! I'm a travel knowledge enthusiast. I'm always exploring knowledge on destinations and cruises. I like to learn for personal interest as well as assisting my clients. 

As my client, I will personalize your vacation experience according to your taste and budget. Often with cruises I can find price adjustments and apply them to save you money. Also, I never charge my clients fees. 

Where is your next adventure taking you? I look forward to help take you there!

What an amazing time we had! Tina did a great job finding accommodations for 6 of us in all the countries visited. Unlike the US, it is a little harder to accommodate groups bigger than 4. She even got us new accommodations when we had an medical emergency needing to extend our stay in Scotland. She made sure everyone was able to see/visit the places most important to them. We traveled by air, bus, train and boat and she helped facilitate it all! I hope that we can plan another Sister trip soon and will certainly have Tina help make it happen!

We had not cruised previously so asked Tina for some help. She made many suggestions and arranged the entire cruise for us. Her tips were helpful as we continued on our journey. We had a fantastic time and are so thankful for her. A few years ago Tina also organized a family trip for us (11 of us) to Disney. Another great time! I will use Tina's services again.

Sure…anyone “can” plan a vacation, but no one can plan a vacation like Tina! I wanted to travel but lacked the time to figure out how to make it fit into my budget. Thankfully, I found Tina’s free services and I can’t imagine vacation planning any other way. Tina’s experience is invaluable. Throughout the planning process I found out she’s traveling the world, worked at Disney AND Universal, as well as gone on many cruises. Why try to figure out a trip on my own when I could learn from someone who already knows all the behind the scenes? Over the past several years we’ve planned cruises, Disney trips, and everything in between. Overall, I cannot recommend this experience enough, and I do! Whenever I hear of someone planning a vacation I make sure to let them know travel agents will 100% make their experience more enjoyable.
