Travel with Charmaine

11/20/2024

As a travel agent, one of my favorite moments was planning an anniversary trip for a couple who had never been to Mexico before. They were nervous but excited, and when they returned, their faces lit up as they shared stories of an amazing excursion, trying new foods, and watching the sunset from their resort. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do—helping people create memories they’ll cherish forever! Where’s the next place you want to explore?

Enchilada (noun): A tortilla's ultimate glow-up—rolled, stuffed, and drenched in sauce, proving that everything in life is better when it's covered in cheese. Best eaten with zero regard for napkins.
