Andrea’s love of travel started in early adulthood, after marrying a man in the military. With each relocation to diverse duty stations across the country, a new chapter of discovery unfolded. Each move nurtured her fascination of discovering unique cultures, local foods and diverse landscapes and a passion for travel was born. She delights in the task of discovering the essence of every destinati

on. From the hidden gems only locals know about to the must-see landmarks, Andrea strives to uncover the soul of every place she visits. For her, travel is not just about the destinations or mere sightseeing, but authenticity, connection, and the chance to live in the moment. Some of her favorite trips have been in unique locations like Nepal, Peru and Greece, and included hiking in the countryside, cooking classes, and home stays; activities that brought the country to life in front of her eyes. In all, Andrea has visited 44 states, 5 Caribbean territories, and 10 countries, but she hopes to see those numbers grow each year! Andrea understands that every traveler is unique, and with a wealth of personal experiences and a genuine passion for discovering the unexplored, she's your dedicated partner in crafting an experience just for you. Whether you're drawn to the tranquility of a mountain retreat, the bustling streets of a vibrant city, or the serenity of a coastal escape, your next adventure awaits, and Andrea is ready to make it extraordinary!

This group of friends wants to see and do it ALL on their multi-week Italian adventure! Their itinerary starts in Rome and ends in Venice, with stops in Florence and Milan. Trains will whisk them between their destinations, allowing them to see the countryside as they travel. At each stop, they will experience ancient history, gorgeous architecture, swoon-worthy photo ops and art galore. The food, the wine, the Tuscan villa stay… how very lovely!!

This couple decided to make the most of a trip out west for a friend’s wedding… by adding on a few weeks of National Park exploration!
They will start with five glorious days exploring Yellowstone, the oldest national Park in the U.S., from their cozy cabin. It is the perfect base to rest and recharge from each day filled with spectacular sights and discoveries.
Then Grand Teton NP and the city of Jackson Hole beckon. Views of the abundant wildlife, stunning mountain vistas, and rushing whitewater streams are sure to fill their days and award winning dining, live music, and live theatre their nights!
It sounds like perfection. 😍

This lucky couple will be sailing the Douro River through Portugal come July!
Their cruise begins in the beautiful city of Porto and will take them through the best parts of Portugal’s wine country.
Each day comes with a port stop (or two!!) and their choice of amazing INCLUDED excursions that showcase wine, family farms, local foods, and historic places.
Plus, with a small ship that only holds 102 passengers, their time on ship and in the excursions will never feel crowded.
How very lovely!!

When you treat the journey as the destination travel days don’t have to be boring! This family is doing just that. They are excited to see a few islands in the South Pacific on their way to New Zealand and experience cruising across the largest, deepest ocean on Earth!

This island paradise has crystal clear waters, white sand beaches, and perfect temperatures almost year round. Plus, its location just south of the Bahamas means it’s a short flight from most of the continental U.S. Anybody else want to go?!? Meeeee!!!! 😬🌴🌊☀️👙 🩳⛱️

I’m finding that with each trip booked, my travel bucket list is growing!! This trip through Norway looks impossibly gorgeous. The small details like a Viking dinner with beer pairings and waterfall stops along the route have made this Scandinavian getaway jump to the top of my travel list… at least until my next client booking!! 🇳🇴⛴️🚂🌄

Last one for this year… Puerto Rico!

This precious little ornament has a hand painted Parranda band on a piece of coconut shell. It might be cheating a little because we didn’t exactly vacation to Puerto Rico (because we lived there) but we sure treated every day like a vacation so I’m claiming it!!

Merry Christmas friends and family. I’ll be thinking of you all and wishing you and yours a peace filled, joyous holidays! 🎄🎅🏻🎁✝️❤️

Next up, Venice!! This city stole my heart and deserves every bit of its fame. Every inch of the city oozed romance and beauty, yet very few tourists ventured off the beaten path and into the real Venice. We lived simply and slowly for the few days we inhabited the city; good food, long walks, afternoon siestas followed by afternoon cocktails, and liberal amounts of gelato. It was heaven on earth and I’d go back in a heartbeat. Ciao, Bella Venezia!

Another Celtic Island trip booked! This one will see a couple road tripping through the most gorgeous and remote areas of Scotland. I think the scenery is going to be unreal and I can’t wait to see their pictures and hear if they were brave enough to try the Haggis! 😬🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🐑🚗

Our Christmas tree will never win any beauty contests, but it is filled with ornaments that bring back funny stories and travel memories. I thought I’d share a few of my favorites ahead of Christmas Day… first up, an expertly crafted reed boat modeled after the life size versions used by the people of the Uros Islands at Lake Titicaca in Peru. We purchased this ornament while visiting those floating islands in 2011 and I smile every time I see it. Peru was an amazing country, with delicious food, gracious people, and gorgeous scenery. Have you ever considered traveling to Peru or Machu Picchu? If so reach out, I love to tell you about my experience and help you plan your own amazing trip!

The time difference from home has meant I’ve been waking up super early. This morning it meant I had a beautiful, peaceful walk around the property. Not a bad way to start the day!

🎶I’m leaving’ on a jet plane…🎶
I must be the luckiest girl in the world! Headed to a travel conference in Cabo San Lucas to learn and jump start this new adventure. So excited to soak in all the knowledge this conference will provide! And to lay by the pool a bit. 😬🌴👙☀️
