✨It’s not always easy pulling off a large trip in short notice, but when the stars align, it’s truly magic ✨
So grateful for appreciative clients ❤️

Can’t wait to be headed back to Costa Rica soon!

Stay tuned for lots of updates on fantastic properties, activities and adventures. From the jungle to the sea, this will be a jamb packed educational trip for me and my fellow advisors.

Have questions about CR? Happy to help!

Back on the east coast for conference, and it feels great! Busy building supplier relationships this week, which is one of the most important parts of my job. Relationships with suppliers only enrich the client experience, and allows me to offer the best value and service to travelers.

I have many travelers headed to Italy this year! In the light of Mother’s Day week, one my favorite trips to plan so far this spring has been a mother/daughter adventure across Italy.

If you haven’t considered a mother/daughter trip, now is the time. I love when women are adventurous enough to leave the spouses at home and make their own memories.

Think you have what it takes to plan travel?! We are always looking to bring on enthusiastic team members that are passionate about travel.

Be prepared to work hard though!

☀️NOW BOOKING SPRING BREAK 2025!☀️
…
That’s right, it’s now time to secure your spring break trip. Remember - prices never get cheaper and inventory only gets worse.
…
Take if from someone who has been planning spring break for clients and personal travel for many years. If you see yourself here, NOW is the time to lock it in. Don’t wait until after school starts in the fall.

Good news for air travelers!

The Transportation Department said airlines will be required to provide automatic cash refunds within a few days for canceled flights and “significant” delays.

Feeling the Monday blues? I have the perfect solution.

BOOK. THE. TRIP. 👊

I booked two Caribbean trips over the weekend for this coming November. November is generally a good time travel to the Caribbean. The worst hurricane threats are typically past, ocean water is the warmest, and crowds are generally on the lower side (excluding Thanksgiving week).

🌙Lunar gazing🌙

When you live in the city, you forget how magical the night sky can be. The vibrance of the solar system is one of our favorite things about getting out of the city.

Where’s your favorite vacation destination to star gaze? Some of my favorite have been Colorado and Costa Rica.

Ok Friday, we see you! It’s been a heck of a week. Cheers!

Recently had this amazing beverage, and hoping to try to recreate it at home: Mezcal, tequila, pineapple, arbol chiles and lime. Perfection!

Whether it’s your first time to a destination, or you consider yourself a pro, you will be getting ideas and options that are unique to your needs when working with a travel professional.
A huge part of my job is keeping up with many destinations. That includes differences in geography, knowing latest on up and coming properties, understanding the best areas to stay, things to do, entry requirements and more.
So whether you’re hesitant to plan something for the first time, or ready for someone else to take the reins and find you something different, my goal is to simplify the planning process so you can enjoy your trip.

This week I’m taking a much needed personal break, so thanks in advance for your patience. Spring break in Costa Rica is our family favorite, and we’ve been visiting for many years.
Ask me any questions about this fabulous eco destination! It’s not the right vacation spot for every client, but I’m happy to help determine if it’s the right destination for you.

✨SPRING BREAK Countdown is ON!✨

Great news for several of my clients headed on spring break adventures in the next couple weeks! This year I have travelers headed to Disney World, England, Jamaica, Mexico, and Caribbean cruises!

This is a great reminder if you are planning to spring break in 2025…set your reminder for a month from now! It’s always best to plan about 11 months in advance for peak break times.

✨HAPPY NATIONAL MARGARITA DAY✨

Cannot let this day go un-celebrated!

The last couple years I’ve been really enjoying a good spicy margarita! What’s your preference? Spicy, regular, flavored?

Winter wedding plans don’t have to mean a tropical honeymoon. I love when travelers come to me with an off trend ask.
Let’s talk Europe in winter! Friends, don’t shy away from a winter getaway to your favorite European destination. If you can look past the weather and don’t need a beach, Europe in winter can be quite charming. And the absolute best part…no crowds!!
I loved working with these honeymooners on their getaway to Italy and France, packed with lots of fantastic tours and day trips. thank you for trusting me with your honeymoon plans.

02/08/2024

We’re officially in high season for fun and sun travel! If you’re still looking for a winter getaway, reach out to myself or my team. We keep up with all the Caribbean destinations, track new and up-and-coming resorts, plus have great relationships with travel suppliers. Leave the planning and details to us!

Been in the thick of planning several trips to Europe since the first of the year! Today I highlight one of my favorite bigger cities, Barcelona! I have several clients headed to this enchanting city in 2024.
One of my favorite neighborhoods in Barcelona is El Born. This charming neighborhood is riddled with narrow medieval streets, trendy boutiques, cafes and cocktail bars. One of my favorite things to do is grab a coffee and stroll el born before the city wakes for the day. Just dreamy! 🤩

Did you know???

Travel advisors receive the majority of new trip requests during first quarter each year. This means we are working seven days a week right now to get your trip proposal and vacation secured!

If you are waiting on a proposal from me, thanks in advance for your patience! I am working around the clock to try to service as many people as I can.

TIP: to avoid waiting on planning your dream trip, contact your travel advisor in the fall or before the end of the year! Not only will you have more of their undivided attention, you will have priority pick on inventory and better pricing.

I’m always looking for new cocktail ideas!!! Absolutely loved this drink I had in the DR last week. Muddled strawberries, mint, lime, Prosecco and vodka! Yum!

01/22/2024

Europe has been my top requested destination so far this year! Working on countless customs itineraries throughout Europe in 2024. If you’re waiting on a proposal on consultation from me, hang tight. This is our busiest time of year!

Finally back in the frozen tundra of KC (after significant flight delays). Already day dreaming of warmer weather. This work trip made me realize how much I need winter getaways. Grateful to have gotten a vitamin D recharge this past week, even if it was a work trip.

01/09/2024

Love it when I get to work with repeat travelers! I had the pleasure of helping these two take on Ireland and the UK, and now we’re planning a month long adventure through Spain!

01/08/2024

That’s a wrap! I have my last festive client flying home today!
PSA- if you haven’t booked for the holidays yet, you should NOW! That’s right, if you plan to travel during Xmas or new years week, it’s critical to book a year in advance!
