I love being a travel agent and hearing that my clients loved their vacation! Let's get your trip planned.

EVERY hotel looks great from the photos online. When you actually get there, it can be a different story.

That feeling when you pull up to the lobby only to realize that the photos are out of date? Not fun.

That’s why I make it my mission to have first-hand information for clients when they ask about a resort or hotel.

Either I’ve stayed there and can give my unfiltered opinion, or I’m inquiring with very trusted partners to get details.

Things like:

👉 Whether the suites are actually worth the splurge.

👉 Which rooms have the best views and the least noise

👉 Whether the spa services should be booked or skipped

No fluff here — just honest advice to help you make the most of your very valuable vacation days.

If you’re ready to plan, DM me.

Fall is the season of slower moments — wrapping up in a warm blanket with a good book, enjoying a latte at a coffee shop, or taking a quiet walk to take in the Fall colors. Plus, dreaming of future travel destinations!

What are the small autumn joys that help you slow down and relax? ⬇️

When you come back from vacation and think, “If only I had known…”?

Isn’t that the worst?

Let’s take a moment to reflect on your last trip…

Were there any hiccups or unexpected surprises that could have been smoothed out with the right guidance?

Think about it — whether it’s attempting a DIY haircut (we’ve all been there!), navigating complex tax forms on your own, or tackling a home renovation that didn’t quite go as planned…

You know there’s real value in having a professional by your side who can handle the details and prevent those avoidable headaches.

Travel is no different. With an expert in your corner, you get more than just a booking—you get peace of mind.

So, when you’re ready to elevate your travel experience beyond the basics, I’m here to help you every step of the way.

Fall travel reminders if you’re taking a trip this cozy season.
📌 Bookmark so you don’t lose track of this!

🍁 Double-check for seasonal closures: Some attractions and businesses may close or reduce hours after summer, so make sure you check ahead of time to avoid any disappointments.

🍁 Be ready for the weather: Depending on where you’re going, don’t forget to pack for chilly evenings and rain.

🍁 Don’t forget about harvest season: It may not be the reason you’re traveling specifically, but don’t forget to add those local farms, orchards, or vineyards to your itinerary!

🍁 Beware of the foliage crowds: Popular leaf-peeping spots can get really crowded, so plan ahead, arrive early, or hunt for those lesser-known spots.

🍁 Take advantage of shoulder season perks: As tourism slows after the summer rush, make sure you’re taking advantage of lower prices, special deals, and more personalized service at hotels, resorts, and tours.

🍁 Remember that days are shorter: Daylight saving time is around the corner, and daylight hours are shorter. This may impact how you put together your itinerary.

➡️ And the ultimate fall travel hack?

Working with a travel advisor who‘s got your back (and your itinerary) covered.

Remember, my DMs are always open to any and all of your travel questions.

Hands up if you’re celebrating a milestone anniversary in 2025.🙋‍♀️

Whether it‘s been five, ten, or fifteen years, there’s one thing you can always count on to reignite that spark in a relationship — quality time together in a gorgeous location doing new things together.

Here are five dreamy anniversary trips to the Caribbean my clients have booked and loved:

1️⃣ Private Beachfront Villa in St. Lucia: Relax in paradise with stunning views of the Pitons and your own completely private space, complete with staff.

2️⃣ Sailing Adventure in the British Virgin Islands: Cruise through crystal-clear waters on a luxury yacht or catamaran

3️⃣ Romantic Hideaway in Antigua: Enjoy a secluded resort with soft sands and endless sunsets.

4️⃣ All-Inclusive Luxury in Barbados: Indulge in gourmet dining and pampering spa treatments right by the ocean.

5️⃣ Eco-Luxury Stay in Dominica: Connect with nature in a rainforest retreat, complete with waterfalls and hot springs.

Which anniversary adventure would you book?

09/15/2024

Clients off to Grenada this week for an anniversary trip!

And I have to tell you about how we decided on their accommodations and activities.

To understand my clients‘ goals and preferences for their trip, I always have a consultation call to understand preferences and details.

Nothing beats a personalized approach to travel, in my opinion.

Can‘t wait to see the photos!

Here’s the thing about booking your vacation on a website like Expedia or Trivago versus working with me to plan your trip.

We’re both the bridge or connection point of sorts between you and the various elements of your trip.

Things like your hotel or resort, your transportation, and the tours and experiences you book.

But here’s where things are different:

➡️ When you book online, you get passive support that leaves you mostly responsible for your booking.

When you plan with me, I’m a very active and involved partner in your trip. You’re not left to figure it out on your own.

➡️ When you book online, you’re directed to the airline, hotel or tour company to sit on hold when things don’t go according to plan.

When you plan with me, you always have someone who can step in to assist. I know who to call for support, so you don’t have to sit on hold.

➡️ When you book online, you’re getting hotel, resort and tour suggestions based on what a search algorithm thinks you should see. And in some cases, you’re seeing the options that have paid to be more visible.

When you plan with me, you’re getting unbiased personalized recommendations based on your unique travel preferences and what truly makes the most sense for the type of trip you want to take.

Just a few of the ways I’m different than booking online, and if you’re curious whether working with me makes sense for your next trip, don’t hesitate to send me an email at [email protected] or DM me.

Planning to take a couples trip this winter?

Pro tip: Skip to the good part, where your itinerary is finalized, and you can get excited by leaving the planning to me.

All you’ve gotta do is send me a DM and we'll schedule a consultation call, where we’ll chat about your trip, make your wishlist items, and get you booked.

It’s that easy. Ready when you are!

Should you go back to the Caribbean islands you know this winter, or try somewhere new?

You’re spoiled for choice in the Caribbean, there are so many gorgeous resorts and hotels and every island has its own things to explore.

Here are a few questions I ask my clients to help them narrow it down:

➡️ What kind of vacation are you looking for? Adventure, relaxation, culture, or a mix of all?

➡️ What activities do you want to prioritize for the trip? Are you just relaxing at the resort or do you want to venture out? And what’s top priority, water activities, culture, food, etc?

➡️ What’s your budget? Are you sticking to your usual budget or are you splurging/

➡️ Who’s coming? Are you traveling with kids, family, friends, or will it just be you and your partner?

➡️ What’s one thing that would make this trip exceptional for you?

In short, the best Caribbean island depends on your personal preferences and travel style because no island is exactly the same.

If you’re interested in exploring some of the smaller islands in the Caribbean, DM me or comment below to book a consultation call.

Let’s find the perfect island for your next adventure!

These clients flew on Emirates and wanted a couple days in Dubai before their safari. Dubai is home to the world's tallest building - the Burj Khalifa! That's equivalent to 3 Eiffel Towers standing on each other.

Now if this isn't a bucket list trip, I don't know what is! I have clients staying at Giraffe Manor on safari in Kenya. How amazing!

If you’re booking a hotel or resort, you should really know the answer to this question 👇

This is going to sound a little bit out of left field but do you know if your hotel or resort is under construction?

Avoid the surprise of finding out you’re going to hear hammering from 8 AM to 5 PM for the duration of your stay by asking these three questions:

1️⃣ Renovation schedules: The first step is to find out. Call the hotel to ask if they will be planning any renovations during the dates of your stay.

2️⃣ Noise levels: Ask about potential noise disruptions and how they’re helping their guests make adjustments at night.

3️⃣ Room assignments: Request a room away from the renovation area or, if it’s not possible, consider a different hotel.

⭐And the ultimate hack? Work with a travel advisor like me!

I make sure you‘re in the know about all the details of your trip. My DMs are always open to your questions.

09/04/2024

🌟 With the surge of travel inquiries for late Fall and winter, let me remind you of something:

Don’t overlook the small details!

It’s those small details that can transform a good trip into an unforgettable adventure!

But when those details are missed, they can also be the difference between smooth sailing and unexpected hiccups.

One thing I always do for my clients is meticulously **TRIPLE CHECK** every detail.

From coordinating airport transfers and securing early check-ins to pre-booking those must-have reservations and tickets, I handle it all.

As your travel advisor, I leave no stone unturned to ensure your trip is seamless and stress-free.

When you’re ready to have someone take care of the nitty-gritty for your next adventure, I’m just a message away. Let’s make your travel dreams come true! ✨

Pesky summer travel hiccups + what to do about them ➡️ Seat Swap Surprises So, you’ve checked in online and picked your seats, but then you get to the airport and... surprise! They’ve changed. What to Do: Head straight to the gate desk (not the ticketing counter). Gate agents are your best friends here—they can help fix the seating situation or find someone willing to switch seats. Lost or Delayed Luggage ➡️ Your bags are MIA What to do: Find the airline’s baggage desk near the baggage claim area and file a claim before you leave the airport. If you can’t locate the desk, call the airline ASAP to report your missing luggage. Hang on to those receipts for any essentials you need to buy—just keep it reasonable (no designer splurges, unfortunately). Then, when you’re back, file a claim with your travel insurance. If you got ➡️ Delayed and cancelled flights What to do: Check the Department of Transportation (DOT) Dashboard: If the delay is within the airline’s control, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Airline Customer Service Dashboard will show you what each airline should do to make it up to you. ➡️ Not Loving Your Hotel Room Your room’s not up to par? Here’s how to get it sorted What to do: Ask for the manager. Call from your room or go to the front desk and ask to speak to a manager. Be specific about the issues and honest about what resolution you’re seeking. ➡️ Rental Car Issues What to do: If your rental car isn’t what you expected, contact the rental company’s customer service. They might be able to upgrade or switch your vehicle. Always check the car for damage before driving off the lot and report any issues immediately. I hope you don't encounter any of these hiccups this summer but in case you do, use this as your quickstart guide to problem-solving. Enjoy these blissful summer days!

I love Europe in the Fall ✅ The weather is still great. ✅ The crowds are way smaller. ✅ You get to explore in relative peace.
