So many of us, especially women, get so caught up in our daily lives and taking care of others that we often forget to take care of ourselves. It is so important, from time to time, to take a step back and get away from the daily stress and put ourselves first. These periodic breaks allow us to relax, recharge and reflect and always, always, come back to our daily lives with an appreciation for wh

at we have experienced and feel more able to handle those daily challenges that we all juggle. You are worth the time and investment in your own emotional and health well-being that travel offers. My home based travel and retreat planning business can help design a custom itinerary for you and/or your spouse or friends anywhere in the world. Whether a weekend getaway, your dream vacation, a grand adventure in a foreign country or the ultimate in "me time" at one of my special retreats, the investment in yourself is life-changing. As a travel agent, I bring to the table 30+ years of event planning and traveling. I have traveled around the world both solo, with family and friends, and have organized trips for groups of people. I have the ability to access special deals with travel providers in every area of the travel industry. I can book travel on everything from an airplane to a ship to a steam engine and can provide advice on the best places to go and see that exceeds your expectations of a dream vacation. I may even be able to offer monthly payment plans, if needed, to help make your getaway possible. I enjoy the challenge of creating itineraries of fun, once in a lifetime experiences, so whatever you think you want to do, but don't know how to start...let me take the time to see what I can put together for you (within your budget)! Planning the experience is just as much fun for me as going, so I want to get to know you and your travel partners. The basics of what you like, what you don't, things you would like to experience is best talked about through a virtual call over a glass of wine or cup of coffee. Once we get COVID out of the way, we can meet at a local restaurant or at my home office as well! To get started, complete the Future Client Survey found on this page or contact me through the "Send Message" button. I look forward to working with you to make all your travel dreams come true...because YOU are worth it!

Bon Ami my Dushis!!! I've spent the last 5 days on the beautiful island of Curacao!

Located off the northern coast of Venezuela, every shade of blue exists here... from the turquoise blue waters to the island liquor, blue Curacao! This is a diving and snorkeling paradise. The people are friendly, Williamstad is picture postcard pretty with its colorful buildings and murals and the food scene is yummmm!

This is a less touristy destination (for now), but is quickly becoming a hot spot as new hotels and resorts are coming! I've stayed at the amazing Sandals Royal Curacao and Zoetry resorts but have visited a few others while here! If these pictures are calling your name, reach out and I'll help match you up with your ideal resort and make this Caribbean paradise yours for a few days!!

It's FOMO Friday! Where are our BIWI clients going right now? Let's see...

T reached out to book a mother/son get away out West to see some National Parks. I was able to find a small group 7 night guided tour (there are only 7 of them on this tour) with a company who specializes in adventure travel.

They have spent the past few days hiking and exploring the best of Utah and Arizona National Parks - places like Zion, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon and are heading to the Grand Canyon today! They have a great tour guide who knows the area, a bus to take them from spot to spot and have plenty of time to explore each location on their own - with everything from easy trails to more adventurous options for skilled hikers! No stress of traveling on their own or trying to figure out where to go...this is a carefully curated tour that gets high ratings! No stress, no worry.

T is enjoying some great quality time with her pre-teen and loving every moment! He's enjoying it, too, as you can tell from the "almost smiles" in the pictures! We even threw in a pre and post night in Las Vegas at some cool resorts to enjoy!

If you have FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), and this type of trip sounds like it's your thing, reach out to Because I'm Worth It Travel to help put it together for you! We love family trips! Click here to schedule a free consultation: https://calendly.com/bcimworthittravel/trip-consultation-free

So today we got to visit two fascinating, but very different, locations in the city of Bucharest. I always fall in love with places I visit... there is something about connecting with the locals and hearing their stories and history that fills me with happiness and reassures me over and over again that there are lots and lots of really good and awesome people in the world that overcome some really crappy situations but still make the best of their lives.

Our first stop was at the Spring Palace of the Communist Dictator Nicolea Ceausescu. He was the leader of Romania during the Soviet takeover from 1965-1989. He and his family lived in opulence (they had the Palace redesigned to meet their taste during his reign) while the Romanian people were starving and spent winters with no heat. They hid their opulent lifestyle by not allowing anyone into the private quarters of their Palace. When the Revolution happened in 1989, the people stormed the Palace and saw what was hidden from them...gold bathrooms... indoor pool with mosaic walls that took years to complete...dressing rooms that contained 48 closets filled with dresses and furs... indoor gardens... the list goes on. See the pics below.

The second stop was very unique and so interesting I didn't have enough time to explore everything...I'd love to go back for a few hours to finish seeing it all! It was an outdoor museum and was filled with examples of real Romanian homes that were physically moved to this spot from the 12 regions of Romania. The insides were as they were when they were moved. They also had local vendors throughout the complex selling their handmade crafts from those regions. It was incredible and so much fun to visit with the vendors and try to understand each other! No need to barter here...a handmade painted piece of pottery was about $1.50 usd. I paid $10usd for a set of 6 beautiful handmade espresso cups and a holder for them! I have no idea how I get all the stuff home but I happily gave up my coins for the stuff I bought!!

We finished up our afternoon and evening by walking across Bucharest to the Old City with a stop at a chocolaterie for some pre-dinner desserts and dinner at a gorgeous restaurant in Old City before walking back to the hotel.

Like Mother, Like Daughter... I'm pleased to announce that my daughter, Chelsea Stackfield, has joined me as a new Travel Advisor with Because I'm Worth It Travel & Retreats!

As a single mom, I always tried to make sure my daughter had opportunities to travel as she was growing up. I believed, and still do, that travel changes lives and it is so important to step outside of our little corners of our world and see new things and experience new cultures. Some of our best memories are from those times that we were far away from home and outside of our comfort zone! I'm thrilled that she asked to learn about the travel business and to join me in helping other families make memories!!

Chelsea will be starting out focusing on all- inclusive trips and cruises and will expand to other things (Disney/Universal, FITs, etc.) once she has a few trips under her belt! She started her training this week listening to 14 cruise lines talk about their cruise, itineraries and specials...

Feel free to reach out to this dynamic mother/ daughter duo for your next trip! We'd love to help you!

01/11/2023

It's Wave Season! This is the best time to book cruises for 2023! All cruise lines offer their best rates of the year during January and February and I've got the details on a lot of them!

We spent the day with a bunch of cruise lines hearing about their specials and are ready to help you find the cruise of a lifetime. Want a family cruise... we got you! Want to experience the French Polynesian Islands of Tahiti, Bora Bora and Fiji from a tall ship? We can do that... and you can even help raise the sails if you want. Are River Cruises your thing? Let's chat...

Bottom line... cruises are a fun and sometimes amazing opportunities for unique experiences that you may only think about. I came away today with a list of new cruises that I want to experience (like taking my grandkids on a Moana cruise... how cool is that?!)

Private message me to talk... most cruises can be booked with a small down payment. Get the best rates and the best cabin selection by booking early.

Bon Voyage!

12/31/2022

As you start planning your vacations for 2023, consider using me as your travel agent. If you are wondering why....keep reading!

1) I offer full service travel planning. That means when you hire me, I'm assisting from the planning of the trip through the getting you there to getting you home. That includes being available to you "in destination" so if another Southwest meltdown happens like happened this week, or something similar, I'm the one on the phone on hold for 4 hours to get your flight changed or to get you rebooked on another airline while you continue enjoying your vacation.

2) Vacations today are more than just getting there and home...travelers today want experiences. As a travel agent, I have access to travel experts all over the world that can help to plan a vacation experience that you will remember for a lifetime. They know the places you want to see. They know the best times to visit this place or the best restaurant in that village or town to see a sunset. They know the things that can make the difference between a frustrating experience of a novice vs. the picture perfect memory of a lifetime.

3) I can get you a great deal, often with amenities or pricing that isn't available to you as a consumer. I'm a member of a host travel agency that books hundreds of thousands of rooms a year and negotiates great rates for clients in both hotels and on cruises. If you book it yourself, you might get the same rate...but if you book it through me, you may get an additional onboard credit, a free excursion not available to other guests, free wifi or parking or breakfast, or a special room class that isn't available when you check on the site yourself because we have blocks of rooms being held for our clients that are showing up on the public inventory as not available.

4) I do group travel (multi generations, girls trips, mother/daughter trips, family vacations, etc.) and destination weddings as well! I get great group rates and if we book 10 rooms or more (some all inclusive resorts are only 5 rooms), I can negotiate a discount for all rooms in that group.

5) I've traveled. A LOT. I'm considered a Caribbean expert but I can book travel anywhere in the world. If I've not been there, I research and talk to other travel agents who have and get their input and advice on the best places to stay, the best things to do, and will work with you to ensure that you get that vacation of a lifetime. I've helped clients jump out of airplanes, go scuba diving in the clearest waters in the world, rent their dream car, had them transported to their hotel in a helicopter as a free amenity...I can help you with the "should we do this or that" questions...and maybe the answer is, well, have you considered this instead?

6) I know the staff at the resorts. I know who to call for special requests. I touch base with them to let them know you are coming and that you are my clients and I make sure they are aware of any special requests or requirements that will make your stay exceptional.

7) I make sure your investment is protected. Travel insurance today is a must and I can usually get you better rates and better coverage than the insurance offered by airlines or vacation clubs (they only protect that part of your vacation).

8) Most importantly...I LOVE planning trips for clients. I love knowing that I help in creating those memories for couples, friends and families that will last a lifetime. I take care of you. It's my super power!

Getting started as as simple as clicking on the link below and setting up a time to chat! I'm booking trips for clients for all of 2023 and even into 2024 at this point.

Let's make your 2023 vacation or honeymoon the best trip ever!
