Beyond the Frame Travels

I became a travel agent due to my love of traveling and over 20 years of management consulting experience. I had traveled for work fairly often, and I made sure to always check out the surrounding areas regardless of where I went. I fell in love with beautiful places like San Francisco, Napa, and London, and I soon began to dream about traveling further around the world!

I started planning vacations for my friends and family as well, and I began going on countless trips to wonderful destinations like Greece, Ireland, Australia, Canada, and more. I even got a consulting job abroad where I spent a year going between the UK, Australia, and Austria which taught me a lot about quickly preparing a trip.

Booking trips for my multi-generational family also gave me a lot of experience creating complex itineraries. I realized that I enjoyed the booking process as well, and it was only a matter of time before I decided to enter the travel industry!

Today, I book customized vacations for all types of travelers to destinations around the world. I focus on unique experiences that cater to your interests whether you love beaches, cities, historical sights, arts and culture, or anything else that excites you.

I’ve booked beach getaways for over 30 people, small tours for couples, and everything in-between. As your personal vacation planner, I will:

  • Simplify the booking process
  • Remove all stress and uncertainty from traveling
  • Help you maximize your vacation time, both in the USA and abroad
  • Ensure everyone in your group has a wonderful time
  • Provide assistance at all times
  • Research and provide personalized recommendations for your trip
  • And more!

I also know how to book for families with small children since I prepared many trips while my son was growing up. Traveling can be such a great bonding experience, and it’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about preparing perfect vacations.

With years of professional experience, I’m ready to make your dream vacation a reality today!

Certified Australia Specialist

Amazing Kangaroo Island!

Certified Australia Specialist

<p>Visiting Australia is definitely something everyone should experience! It is such a diverse country, and the people are truly lovely. As an Aussie Specialist, encouraging travel to this country/continent is my passion! It is not as far away as you may think, and it is 100% worth the effort of getting there!</p>
<p>Once I started traveling as an adult, I always hoped that I would get the chance to experience Australia. It seemed so mysterious, so beautiful, and so far away! I got extremely lucky as my second assignment in my consulting career was in Melbourne, Australia! And not only would I be going to Australia, but I would get to spend a total of about three months there.</p>
<p>During that time, I experienced Melbourne like a local. Going to the market every day to buy food, walking through the Botanic Gardens, even attending the Australian Tennis Open, the Australian Golf Open and many backyard BBQs. I drove the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, spent a weekend in Port Douglas, Queensland in the rainforest, saw the fairy penguins emerge in Phillip Island, and had a wonderful time with new-found friends for a weekend in Sydney!</p>
<p>Several years later, my mom and I went back. We experienced Tasmania and it's wild and wonderful coast and countryside (not to mention wines!). We lounged in the Sydney Botanic Gardens, watching the ships in the harbour with the Opera House in the foreground, shopped in The Rocks near Circular Quay and the Harbour Bridge, took a ferry to Manly, drove to Watson's Bay and visited Darling Harbour, venue for the 2000 Summer Olympics.</p>
<p>Then it was up to the Great Barrier Reef and far north Queensland! What an amazing adventure. We took a snorkeling tour (only about 25 people, not one of the big 200+ people boats), and had the time of our lives! We saw all sorts of colorful fish, reef sharks, and even a 6 foot diameter neon purple starfish! We went to Kuranda and took a gondola over the rainforest, held koalas, and even saw some crocodile. </p>
<p>Let me introduce you to the Land Down Under - you will remember it for a lifetime!</p>

Mary Pat took away all of my worries about traveling abroad with my son. Not only did she organize and book the airlines, she was also fully invested in finding us the ideal place to stay in London. It was a fantastic trip - and I owe it all to Mary Pat and her wonderful and insightful guidance and expertise. <br/><br/>
Kim - London ~ England ~ Europe
Mary Pat knows Napa and in the rare chance you ask her something she's not familiar with, she gets the answer.
Anniversary Couple - Napa Valley ~ California ~ USA
She was very helpful in finding & booking the trips that best matched what we wanted and she kept it within our budget. She was thorough and organized when putting together all our paperwork before the trips. When we had a problem with a hotel booking she contacted the tour company immediately and quickly resolved the problem. We are very pleased with our experience working with Mary Pat and will use her again in the future!
