Can we talk about Unico Riviera Maya for a second? Because this adult-only gem is everything you didn't know you needed for your next getaway.

Five unique restaurants so you're never bored with dining, water sports included so you can actually try that paddleboarding you've been talking about, and the best part? No kids splashing in the pool while you're trying to read that book you've been carrying around for months.

The 5-star accommodations don't hurt either - we're talking in-room minibars and that level of service where they remember your drink order by day two. Sometimes you just need a vacation where the biggest decision is beach or pool, and Unico delivers exactly that kind of bliss! 🍹

Okay be honest - which side are you on? 😂

Had a client who traveled to Italy tell me she's definitely team "up early" BUT the rest of her family isn't. So she went on a walk to a cafe by herself everyone morning, enjoyed a coffee, and watched the city wake up and go about their day....all before her partner and kids woke up.

Plot twist: You're paying for a travel agent whether you use one or not! 🤯

Just explained to a friend that she could book her Disney Cruise through me for the same cost as booking it on her own, and I'd be the one to call Disney and wait on hold any time it was needed - she could get the same price PLUS my help for free. She truly had no clue!

Why do all the research and booking when someone else can do the legwork? ✈️

Hawaii isn't just beaches - the national parks are absolutely mind-blowing! 🌋

I've had multiple travel clients see the Haleakala sunrise in the past couple years, and they ALL said it was more incredible than any resort experience.

Volcanoes, crater hikes, and views that'll ruin you for every other vacation. Who's ready for adventure? 🥾

🚨 New tagline alert! 🚨
Say hello to: “Let the world surprise you.” 🌍🎉

Because let’s be honest… sometimes the best part of a vacation isn’t the itinerary—it’s the unexpected llama parade, the mystery meat that turned out delicious, or the cab driver who doubles as a tour guide AND stand-up comic. 😆

When you book with me, I’ll handle the flights, resorts, and must-dos—so you’re free to enjoy the surprises (the good kind only, promise 💁‍♀️).

✈️ Pack your bags. Bring your sense of humor.
Let the world surprise you.
