POPULAR OPINION: Good food makes travel better 😉

If you’re anything like me, you don’t just travel for the sights…you’re in it for the flavor.

Here’s how I can help you find the best foodie spots on your next vacation ⬇️

✅ Recommendations you can trust: If you really want to “eat like a local” then you need someone in your corner who’s been there, done that. I’ve got some great travel partners that can recommend local spots. Think of cozy cafes and nonna‘s authentic eats.

✅ Recommendations based on what you like: Are you a fan of street tacos or more of a fine diner? Vegan or meat lover? Whatever your vibe, I’ll give recommendations that aren’t just based on ratings but on flavors, you’ll enjoy.

✅ Elevated Food Experiences: I’ll help you level up your food experiences by finding the perfect food tours or cooking classes. You‘ll get the best of both worlds — tasty new recipes and stories to tell.

✅ Narrowing down your options: Just because it‘s expensive and popular, doesn’t mean you’ll love it. I’ll help you decide whether those overly touristy spots will be worth the long lineup, and narrow down the right experiences for the time that you’re there.

November and the Thanksgiving holiday seem to bring on a wave of gratitude, doesn’t it? 🍂

It's a time to reflect on the amazing people in my life and all my blessings.

This season, I’m especially thankful for the opportunities my job as a Travel Advisor has provided to explore new places and create memories with my family.

How about you? What are you most grateful for this year?

Here’s the thing about planning and booking trips…

When you work with me, I oversee all the details which makes taking the trip SO much easier for you.

I plan trips for my clients to destinations like Italy or the rain forests of Costa Rica, or ocean cruises and beyond and that includes:

✨ A Tailored Experience: I don’t just pull from a shelf of pre-packaged vacations—you’ll receive an itinerary that reflects your unique travel style and interests.

✨ Expert Recommendations: Every hotel or resort I suggest has been carefully vetted. You’ll get honest, first-hand insights, so there are no surprises when you arrive.

✨ Global Connections: It’s not just me behind the scenes. I collaborate with trusted partners worldwide to make sure you‘re taken care of, no matter where you‘re headed.

✨ Collaborative Planning: While I handle the heavy lifting, the process is still very much a partnership. I make sure planning is as stress-free as possible and you're kept abreast along the way.

Ready when you are to make travel planning (and taking the actual trip) so much easier for you!

So on this National Plan for Vacation Day, take the time to map out where you'll head to in 2024. Let's not let all those earned hours go to waste.

When you plan a 17-night curated Italy itinerary for clients and they bring you some authentic goodies as a thanks!

During their tour of the country, they visited Venice, Lake Como, Florence, Cinque Terra, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast just to name a few. They experienced historical landmarks like the Vatican and Leaning Tower of Pisa as well as a Private Tuscan Cooking Class and Roman Food Tour.

Italy was a hot destination this year and it's looking to be the same for next as well.

Is a custom, European vacation on your to-do list for 2024? Let me know how I can help you get there.

Ever wake up in the morning with your head spinning about booking flights, scheduling tours, and hotel options? No...just me? Must be a travel advisor thing! 😊

Aside from that, I’m spending this holiday weekend relaxing, enjoying the sunny skies and cooler temps. Just taking some much-needed time for myself because it can’t just be all work and no play around here — even if doing what I do is a ton of fun.

Happy Saturday! ☕️

P.S. - if you ever have any questions about how I can help you with travel, don’t hesitate to send me a DM.

Psst...if you’re booking a hotel anytime soon, check out the information below.

Believe it or not, you can actually get bumped from your hotel if it’s overbooked. Who would have thought, right?

Here are 3 tips to avoid the overbooking bump:

🕒 Check in as early as you can, or let the hotel know about a late arrival.

☎️ Confirm your reservation before your stay by emailing or calling the hotel.

🥇Join the hotel’s loyalty program to make sure you get priority.

And the hack to trump all hacks? Work with a travel advisor!

As your advisor, I handle all of the above for you. You'll never be stranded with me in your corner, just repositioned for a new adventure!

Disney Cruise Line kicked off its sailing season to Alaska yesterday and the countdown is on. I’m fortunate to experience this 7-day voyage in just a few short weeks and I can’t wait!

If Alaska is a destination on your bucket list - there’s still time to make it happen.

If you’ve never been on a Disney Cruise - you don’t know what your missing. Looking forward to sharing my adventure with you!

Nothing fires me up more than hearing about people who book through big box travel sites and then can’t get the help they need with their trip when things don’t go as planned.

I may not be a big corporation, but here’s one thing you can ALWAYS count on when you book your trip with me.

I’m here for my clients every step of the way, and when they run into challenges, I turn into a problem-solving ninja ⚡️

Too many times, I hear about people getting zero support and resolution from those online booking websites when they truly need it.

Absolutely not around here. I’m a call, text, or email away through every stage of the travel process. That’s the bottom line.
