Honeymooning in St. Lucia. 🏖️ Seth wanted to take his new wife, Hannah, on the honeymoon of a lifetime. They visited a really cool waterfall (and got an epic pic). They also visited Sulphur Springs, a mud spa described as the “world’s only drive-in volcano” which was formed thousands of years ago during volcanic eruptions. 🌋

I was so happy to help plan this trip with them and would love to help you too!

How do you know your vacation is safe when booking with a travel advisor?

It’s nice to know an expert in the subject has their eye on the trip. It’s kind of like cutting your own hair versus going to a stylist. Sure, you could maybe do it yourself... but it’ll probably go a lot smoother if you leave it to the pro. You’ll have me there to hold your hand or help with whatever may come up!

I’ve had clients ask me about how to order dinner, what electrical adapters to use, if they can bring their hairdryer, etc. I’ve also helped with medical issues, missed flights and even shark bites!

I have your back, and that’s a guarantee.

Except when it’s the week of Christmas. I am totally logging off early. 😂

The Christmas and New Year's holiday period is expected to be the busiest on record for both air and road travel, according to AAA.

I love reviews like this from my clients. 😊

If you know me, you know that getting my parents out of the country has been on my Christmas list for quite a while🎅🎄 Finally, in my third year of business, WE MADE IT HAPPEN!!

My parents recently got back from Punta Cana, and they loved it. Their favorite part? How fun the staff at the resort was — by the end of the week, they felt like friends (what do they say about apples and trees?).

They were also big fans of the CVG charter flight I booked for them — they highly recommend it. They loved how simple it was… or to use their new favorite word: “excellente!” 😂

On a deeper level, I can’t express how happy it made me to get them on this trip. Having my Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Brad join as a fun bonus made it even better. This is a group that deserves a vacation, and just look at how much fun they had!!

Another question I get asked a lot is if you’ll pay more booking through me versus an online site. The answer is nope! Well... at least not for the most part.

I always jokingly say that if you search for hours and hours you can probably find a better deal. But for the most part it’s the same pricing you’d see on all of the legitimate sites. I never really advertise myself as a “deal finder” anyway. Sometimes I can get the cheap prices, but I try to focus more on the itinerary building and helping you take care of all the details than the “cheap rates.”

Enough said. 😂

It’s not every day you get to plan your cousin’s honeymoon🥾🦀☕️🏒

And it was a fun one too! From the icy hockey rink to fish-on-ice at Pike Place, Kristy and Andrew soaked in Seattle’s best (and not just the coffee). I loved sending them all over the Pacific Northwest!

Here’s to your amazing future together. Thanks for trusting me with this special trip🤍 Where to next?!

If you want a throwback laugh, swipe to the last pic. Can you guess who is who?! Here’s a hint — my hair definitely isn’t the same color as when I was a kid😂

It’s gameDEY! Where are you watching the Bengals for Monday Night Football?🏈🐯

I was kinda jealous when Kelly & Tyler were watching a recent game in the Dominican.

And you can too! Never missing a game is easier than you think, even on your trip abroad. I watched the Super Bowl in Morocco and playoff games in Italy. I have all the pointers, so you never miss a point.

I love helping people create unforgettable trips! So grateful to be part of their adventures. 🌍✨

Finding the perfect honeymoon spot isn’t always easy, but I loved helping this awesome couple plan their first big trip together. They wanted a beautiful, vegan-friendly all-inclusive, and we found just the place in Crete, Greece!

They spent their days boating, exploring, and loving the local cats — and they couldn’t say enough about the amazing food and welcoming staff. Helping couples create trips that fit their unique needs is what I do best🌍✨
