Why would someone book a trip with a travel advisor instead of on the internet? Here are a few reasons 👇

Handpicked Accommodations: Without having to scour the internet with browser tabs toggled between multiple hotels, you can’t keep track of endless review sites that don’t actually give you any clarity.

Expert Recommendations: Whether I’m matching you to that lesser-known but amazing local guide or helping you decide which tours and experiences best suit your style, I’m sharing insights from my personal travel experiences and my network of travel experts around the world.

Reclaiming time: I save my clients dozens of hours and weeks, or sometimes even months, of scouring the internet trying to figure out what to book and how to pull a great trip together.

If you haven’t experienced the absolute relief and ease of having an expert take care of your travel plans, friend, I promise you, it is SUCH a good feeling.

Here when you’re ready to travel with ease!

Did y’all know it was World Photography Day?? Surprise! It is! 📸🎉

Let me introduce you to my trusted travel photographer and world-trekking partner in crime: Reagann Shulke

She has been the creative director behind some of my favorite travel photos, allowing me to share the color and beauty showcasing many of the destinations I recommend.

Take a moment and thank a photographer today, including this one, for putting up with us goofy clients and still somehow making us look good! 😜💁🏻‍♀️

Should you trust hotel reviews you see online?

Here’s my take as a travel advisor:

Yes, you can take reviews into consideration, but its risky to base your whole decision off the perspectives of strangers.

I’ve been to hotels that had bad reviews, but they ended up being perfect for me and my travel style.

On the flip side, I’ve been to hotels with great ratings that just didn’t quite live up to my expectations.

Taking the time to understand what you truly want and value from your travel experience is a great place to start so you don’t get confused or swayed when you read reviews.

Here’s how I can help: ​​When I make recommendations on where you should stay and what you should do, I’m taking the time to truly understand your travel preferences, needs, and hotels and resorts you’ve enjoyed in the past.

That way I can give you clarity in the thousands of choices for resorts and hotels out there.

Don't guess or rely on mixed online reviews. Let’s chat! Send me a DM or comment below.

"Isn‘t it too early to be thinking about spring trips?"

Some advice from your travel advisor:

It‘s NEVER too early.

If you’re planning your Spring Break trip now, you’re way ahead of the curve:

➡️ You get first pick and can lock in the best rooms at those high-demand resorts and hotels before they fill up.

➡️ You have more time to look for promotions. I keep my eyes peeled for offers that align with the trip you have in mind so you can get the best value for your budget.

➡️ One less thing to stress about. Get it locked into your calendar so you have something to look forward to.

Let’s get you ahead of the Spring travel game. Send me a DM so we can start planning!

Is this you every night after work trying to plan your next vacation? 👇

You have a giant list of resorts you can’t keep straight.

10 browser tabs open with articles, reviews, and recommendations.

You‘re wondering if you should rent a car or not, and which local tours are the best option since they’re all starting to blend in and sound the same.

Friend, let me remind you that planning a trip doesn’t need to turn into a full-time job for you.

Here’s what you’re going to do instead:

👉 Hand your travel wish list over to me
👉 Tell me more about the trip you’d like to take
👉 Give me some insights into past trips and what you loved or didn’t love

And let me bring it all together into a proposal with tailored resort/hotel recommendations, a list of tours I’ve done myself or have vetted, and a list of other tips and information about the destination you’re going to.

Send me a message or visit the link in my bio to get started so you can get back to enjoying your evenings!

How much does the hotel or resort you stay at impact your vacation?

For a lot of my clients, it’s a make-or-break element of the trip.

Picture this:

🏝️ You booked a beach resort, but the actual beach leaves a lot to be desired.

🌆 You opted for a resort you thought was good value, but you didn’t realize that for $10 more a night, you could have had a much better stay at the place down the street.

🏞️ You splurged on what you thought was a luxury resort, but it’s totally out of date.

All of these mishaps are things my clients never worry about because I’m serving up personalized recommendations based on their travel style.

I know how much the accommodations matter to them. I think about things like modern rooms, dining options, and the quality of onsite services and amenities so they can enjoy every minute of their very precious vacation time.

If you’re interested in personalized resort/hotel recommendations for your next trip, send me a DM!

Vacations are for breaking all the rules!

French macarons for breakfast? Sure!

Mimosas at 9am? Why not!

Napping by the pool all afternoon? Sign me up!

I’m team mimosas at 9 am AND donuts for breakfast over here. What about you?

Cheers to living your best (and delightfully carefree) vacation life!

🌺Oahu - Here we come!🌺

Well, not me, but my clients! I’ve been so fully immersed in their itinerary for the past few months that I feel like it’s my trip too.

I’m sitting this one out but will be living vicariously through them.

My clients are taking a family trip to explore the island and soak up the spectacular island beauty. They really needed an escape to the beach, and we have put together a fun-filled itinerary touring the island to make their week incredible!

Have you visited Oahu? What was your favorite thing to do on the island?

Hanauma Bay reservations open at 7am Hawaii time, 48 hours in advance of the preferred visit day… and sell out within MINUTES 🤯

Were my clients worried?? Nope!! Secured their passes immediately as their travel day reservations opened, and they will get to visit on their scheduled day as planned 🙌🏻

Can you book these yourself? Absolutely. Do you have the time (or want) to be waiting for the exact moment the reservation portal refreshes to scramble for tickets before they sell out? Probably not. That’s what I’m here for. ✨Effortless travel experiences ✨

Money saved, money lost — it may seem cheaper to book a trip yourself but…

👉 You might snag a bargain flight, only to pay high baggage fees or get bumped if its overbooked.

👉 That cheaper hotel? It’s dated and lacks amenities.

👉 DIY travel planning often means missed discounts, exclusive deals, and insider tips that could save you more.

What I do is take my clients’ budgets and find the best value for their money.

It may mean recommending a hotel that’s a little bit more expensive but checks all of your boxes.

It could also mean recommending different travel dates so your costs are significantly cheaper.

It may even mean snagging you freebies, offers, and other value-adds you won’t get when you book yourself online.

Let‘s make smart choices together and stretch your vacation budget further without sacrificing quality or comfort. To get started with planning, send me a DM or check out the link in my bio to book a discovery call.

Can we get you on a vacation where your only concern is how you’d like your coffee?

Or whether you want to be enjoying the infinity pool overlooking the ocean or a lounger on the beach?

Very few things make me feel better than helping my clients kick off their relaxation BEFORE they even leave for the trip.

All of those stressful things that make travel planning complicated, things like:

➡️ Researching and finding trusted sources.

➡️ Picking the right resort when there are so many options that look great.

➡️ Picking tour companies, confirming the booking, etc etc.

The fun and relaxation start when you hand me your wishlist items, and I plan it all for you!

And when it’s time for you to leave and enjoy your getaway, I’m on deck to make sure your itinerary details are at the top of your inbox and your arrival goes smoothly.

Do you have any questions about planning a custom itinerary for your next adventure? My specialties include destinations in Europe, the Caribbean, and Mexico. Don’t hesitate to send me a DM anytime with your questions.

I’m powering down the computer and getting ready to take a mini weekend vacay myself, but before I do, I’m hitting save on an itinerary proposal for a client who’s taking a couple's trip to Banff to disconnect and unwind.

I've captured all of their asks including a cabin accommodation, mid-level intensity hiking, a few pubs they need to try, and a driving tour of the incredible Icefields Parkway.

It sounds amazing, right?! What would you like to do if you had 3-4 days to explore this amazing part of the world?

As I’m planning trips, there’s a running roll of thoughts that go through my head 👇

👉 Did I check for the best possible routes?

👉 Do my clients have a loyalty number for this airline? (Gotta build those points where possible!)

👉 Is the hotel or resort in a location that makes sense for the type of trip?

👉 Are there special dietary needs to consider?

👉 Is the itinerary designed to hit the things that are most important?

👉 Are tours and experiences booked?

👉 Is there transportation to and from the airport and all of the places in between?

Y’all, it’s a whole lot to juggle.

It’s my job. It’s what I’m good at. And nothing makes me happier than taking these questions and worries off my clients’ plates so that they aren’t stressing before or during their well-earned vacation.

And friend, I can help you too! Don't waste another minute on travel logistics. Send me a message today and let's start planning! ✈️🌍

Life is pretty dang sweet when your summer travels look like this ⬇️

"Beau Voyage arranged a 2-week trip that my husband and I took recently, and they did a flawless job! We provided them with the places in Paris we were interested in seeing and our agent took care of getting us passes and coordinated the best entrance times to avoid crowds. She even suggested some unique experiences that we had not thought of which significantly added to our enjoyment. The best part, we didn't have to stress over details as they were taken care of for us. Later this year we are taking a northern European trip, and we will definitely be booking with this agency."

You deserve travels where you don’t need to remember if the car rental is confirmed or stress about whether the resort actually looks like the photos.

Let’s get cracking so you can start counting down, and if you’re on a trip right now and you or your partner did, in fact, forget to confirm the rental car, call me next time!

What marks the official start of summer for you?

As a kid, I would have said that last glorious day of school.

These days it doesn’t really feel like summer until I we throw some burgers on the grill and spend the day in the pool with our amazing friends.

The only thing keeping me at my desk on this gorgeous sunny summer day is the excitement of finishing up these amazing itineraries for my awesome clients. I’m currently finalizing:

💂‍♀️A fun-filled week in London that includes lots of iconic landmarks, a few Harry Potter-themed activities, and an epic private tour that will take the family into the countryside to see Stonehenge & Bath.

🌺A trip to Oahu focused on lots of water activities, a sprinkle of hiking on the Diamond Head trail, a visit to the Northshore, and a daily food tour of some of the island's best spots.

🍰And a beautiful family of 6 celebrating a milestone birthday for their dad (the big 4-0!) aboard the Harmony of the Seas, sailing out of the new and improved Royal Caribbean Pier in Galveston. TX!

Whew!!! I’m going to finish these up and grab a glass of wine on the patio to catch the sunset. Summer is meant to be enjoyed, at least after the temps go down a bit😉

There’s absolutely nothing worse than coming home from a vacation, scrolling on social media and realizing you missed out on seeing or doing something.

But this, my friend, is where I can help.

I want you to imagine this: you‘re planning a trip to Rome, or maybe London...

Instead of relying on some random blog you can’t verify or scouring online reviews (which, unfortunately, can be biased!), you have access to ALL the insider tips and recommendations curated just for you.

I’m taking mental notes about you, your interests, how you like to travel, your budget and your timelines, and I’m giving you an itinerary that helps you make the most of your time because life is way too short to have regrets about your vacations.

Your week before travel checklist: Family edition

Save this for later! 📌

✅ Make special requests ahead of time for adjoining rooms, cots, cribs, etc.

✅ Request early check-in so you don’t have to wait around if you’re landing before the standard 3PM check-in.

✅ Pack a secret stash of surprise goodies for the littles to reward special moments and good behavior.

✅ Audit your bags to make sure you’re not missing any of the little things like the kids’ toothpaste or their favorite hat.

Family travel planning is as beautiful as it is hectic, and if you need an extra hand with all the little details, I’m just a DM away!

With all of the options in Mexico, there’s honestly no reason to settle for cookie-cutter trips, bad hotels, and experiences that just don’t live up to the hype.

Life is too short, and your PTO is WAY too precious.

What’s one place you’ve always wanted to visit for a European Summer?

I’ve always had the Grand Prix in Monaco followed by a month of sipping wine, beach hopping, and shopping in the South of France on my bucket list.

Or

Touring my way through Portugal, from Porto to Lisbon, with a stop in the Algarve for some beach and sun along the way. I love Portuguese wine and really want to spend time learning more about it one of these days.

Or

Island hopping through Greece. First, I’d start in Athens for some city exploration, a food tour, and shopping. Then I’d hop over to Naxos, Paros and Crete for immersive exploration, yachting, and eating as much delicious Mediterranean food as I can get my hands on.

What would be your perfect European summer?

🚫 Problem: You only have 5 days to spare for a getaway

✅ Solution: Me!

I’m the queen of helping clients maximize their vacation time. Here are my best tips for planning short and sweet trips that pack a punch 👇

➡️ Prioritize your must-see attractions: Make an “I can’t leave without seeing…” list so you know what to work your time around.

➡️ Be Mindful: Things like the location of your hotel, transportation options, the level of traffic in the places your visiting — all of it can impact the time you spend actually enjoying the place you’re in.

➡️ Stay Flexible: Plan but leave room for adventure. Magic strikes when you least expect it, so stay open-minded and flexible to make the most of your trip.

➡️ Delegate the Details: Planning the perfect itinerary for a short trip can be overwhelming. This is where I can help! I can take care of all the details, so that you can maximize your time without the stress of trying to figure it out by yourself!

Which type of road tripper are you?

The driver. You like to be leading the charge at the wheel.

The navigator. You’re the wingman or woman in the passenger seat directing the driver. Think Chewbacca!

The planner. You’re mapping out the route, the stops for snacks, the landmarks to see along the way.

The napper: Your head hits a pillow, and you’re napping from the moment the car starts until you get to the destination.

I’m the planner. (Shocking, right?!)

Which one are you? Or maybe you’re a combination of a few. Share with me in the comments, and happy road tripping!

Enjoy visits to Europe’s delightful Christmas markets. Glittering cities across France, Germany, Austria and beyond light up with Christmas markets offering hand-carved toys, spicy glühwein, ornaments and more.

2025 Christmas Market river cruises are already selling out fast! I just booked 2 of the last balcony cabins on the Viking Hild departing Dec 15, 2025. If seeing the magical European Christmas markets is on your bucket list, let's check off that box!
