I’ve been there!! (Christ the Redeemer in Rio, Brazil.) But my pictures aren’t nearly as good.
Rio is an energetic city with so much culture and charm. I know Brazil so well and would love to play your trip there!

After astronomical calculations and a 3-year long wait for the right moment, photographer Leonardo Sens took this great photo.
Absolutely beautiful!

🌟 Big News from Universal Orlando Resort! 🌟
A brand-new theme park, Epic Universe, is opening in May 2025, and it’s going to be incredible! I had the opportunity to meet with Universal representatives in November to get an exclusive sneak peek at the attractions, and let me tell you—this park is going to be next-level.

Our family had an amazing time at Universal celebrating our son’s golden birthday—it was such a fun surprise for him! (Check out the photos!) I can’t wait to create more memories when Epic Universe opens.

Here’s the scoop: day passes won’t be available for Epic Universe on its own—it’ll be part of a vacation package. That’s where I come in! I’d love to help you plan the ultimate Universal getaway for your family. Message me for details and let’s make it happen!

When your mom is a travel advisor, these are the car games you play. If the answers weren’t provided, could you get them right!?

Pro tip: Want to sleep in on vacation? Use one of the hotel’s hangers with clips to close that annoying gap in the curtains.

This photo makes me want to teleport right there. Our own spring break plans are still up on the air and Budapest is under consideration. But so are a million other places. (This is what happens when you want to go everywhere and you plan other people’s extraordinary vacations. I haven’t planned one yet that I myself wouldn’t love to take.)

Where in the world are Journey Luxe Travel clients this week!?! They are:

🇬🇷 Enjoying a Windstar Treasures of the Greek Isles Cruise from Athens with stops in Ephesus and Santorini to name a few. They made spanikopita, stuffed tomatoes and tzatziki during a cooking class in Mykonos!!
🏰 Loving Walt Disney World despite a little hurricane interruption. This multigenerational family chose the Grand Floridian and loved Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party!
🇭🇷 Making lifelong memories island hopping in stunning Croatia. I will admit that this Eastern European country wasn’t on my must-go list until I started planning it for this adventurous family of four. Now it’s a must. I cannot get there soon enough.
🚢 Having a blast on a Disney Cruise to the Caribbean. Their Bahamas stop was rudely interrupted by the hurricane, but they were having so much fun on the ship, they said they couldn’t even complain!
🏝️Headed to the Dominican Republic tomorrow for a five-day company retreat. This group of 30 is taking over three private, ultra-luxe villas, one of which is beach front! Private chefs, bartenders and butlers will take care of their every need so they can collaborate for the future and celebrate their success this year!

I’m in touch with my clients throughout their trips, checking in and making sure all is well. The best thing is seeing the amazing photos of their smiling faces that they share with me. It’s an honor to help make these client’s vacations dreams come true! 🥰

🙏🏼 Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Florida. We’ve made some of our best memories there and look forward to many more in the future.
Hurricane Milton cut our own fall break short and has impacted some clients currently at Walt Disney World and on cruises. I’ve been in constant communication with them as the storm approached, offering support, tips, and help as needed. While it’s always disappointing when vacations don’t go as planned, protecting lives, livelihoods, and property comes first.
Once we’re on the other side of this storm and have supported Florida through the recovery, we’ll be ready to make new memories and help you get back to your favorite Sunshine State destinations.
Stay safe, everyone. 🙏🏼

I just booked clients on an unforgettable 2026 Alaskan cruise with Princess Cruises! They have so much to look forward to, from stunning glacier views to incredible wildlife and more.

If you've ever dreamed of exploring Alaska or any other amazing destination, I’d love to help you find the perfect cruise for your next adventure. Just let me know, and we’ll start planning your dream trip! The Sun Princess, voted the best mega cruise, might be the place to start.

If you loved the recent Eclipse experiences we've had -- or if you missed them -- treat yourself to an Eclipse cruise. These special itineraries have garnered international headlines, so staterooms are limited. Let me know if you are interested and I'll make it happen for you!

Governments change their policies on the regular, so it's important to always check for the latest entry and exit requirements before traveling.

Travelers to Mexico may face fees or confiscation for carrying more than one large electronic device through airports; the policy affects tourism perception negatively.

Even when it is absolutely fantastic, traveling is seldom perfect. There are just too many variables for which we can’t control. That’s why I recommend only preferred partners who I can count on to deliver on their promises even when the going gets tough.
(And the shopping she is referring to is a vintage tour with a personal professional shopper. In Italy. I mean, is there anything better!?!)
