There’s a world of perks waiting for you when you work with a travel advisor like me 💁‍♀️

And when you really think about it, it’s the little things - the early check-ins, the room upgrades, the complimentary spa treatments or welcome gifts that bring the travel experience to a whole other level.

Imagine walking into your hotel room after a long exhausting flight, and finding a surprise upgrade, or a complimentary voucher for a top rated restaurant — those are the kinds of things only your travel advisor can give you 😉

I don’t just book vacations for my clients — I truly care about elevating the entire experience.

If you're going to invest in travel, might as well make every moment count.

Let’s make your next trip the best one ever.

DM me, and let’s start planning something amazing.

Name something better than a family reunion at sea….go on, I’ll wait…🤭

I was super excited when my clients came to me looking for the perfect ship and sailing for the ultimate family cruise experience.

It took some time to make a final choice, but here’s where we landed:

Next summer, they’ll be boarding Explora II in the Mediterranean.

The ship is an absolute perfect fit with their search for casual luxury, with spaces to work for those that need to, great restaurants, and a cute kids club. Plus, they'll be visiting off the beaten path islands in Greece that larger ships aren't able to get to, so they have VIP access!

And my favorite part?

Everything is included - activities, meals, coffee, adult beverages, wifi - no extra charges!

The truth is no two cruises — or families — are alike.

And there’s a lot to consider when it comes to finding the perfect one for you.

If you’ve always dreamed of a family reunion at sea, save this post and when you’re ready, I‘ll help you find the perfect cruise for you and yours.

This was such a fun trip to plan, and it has me a little jealous I won't be going on it!

Hi everyone!

As we're firmly in the holiday season now (‼️) I'd like to take a minute to remind you all that tomorrow is Small Business Saturday.

I am very much a small business, and when you book your travels with me, you're supporting this very teeny tiny business to thrive.

As you're starting to plan your 2025 travels (how is it almost 2025!?), or if you're looking for an incredible experience to gift this holiday season, please think of me! I would absolutely love to help you craft the ultimate getaway.

Thank you so much for all of your support throughout the years!

As always, I'm thankful for all of you trusting me to handle all of your vacation planning and the crafting of your vacation memories.

I appreciate you!

How about you? What are you most grateful for this year?

FRIENDLY REMINDER!!!!

There’s a LOT of Black Friday travel deals you won’t see 👎

But that’s where I come in 🪄

When you’re a client of mine, I’ve got my eyes peeled on the offers and promos on the lookout for opportunities to save my clients money or add value to the vacation they have in mind.

Working with me to find the best Black Friday deal will save you hours of research and match you with offers that actually fit your travel style, budget, and bucket list destinations.

Don’t miss out! Send me a DM with what you’re looking for and let’s get you maximum vacation for your budget!
