2024 has been an incredible year. It came with some lows but mostly highs. If you would have told me 5 years ago I would be traveling the world and helping people plan their dream vacations, I would have laughed in your face. This career path was never on my bingo card, but some things have an amazing way of finding you at just the right time. I’m just so glad that I can help people make memories and I can also feed my family’s love of travel too. Thank you to all my clients, friends, family and community. You helped make this happen!

One of the perks of my job is helping families create ✨magical✨ memories! It is my FAVORITE part of my job. I have a sweet family who is surprising their kids Christmas morning with a Universal Epic Universe vacation package, and they asked me if I could put together a little announcement for their kiddos to open on Christmas morning, and of course, I said, "Absolutely!" This is a little sneak peek of what I have put together for them! We decided it would be fun to be a little ambiguous about it, and see if the kiddos figure it out! You've got to let the parents have some fun too! 🎅🎄🎅🎄

The beauty of this gift is that Mom and Dad could reserve the package with a deposit, and will travel in September of 2025. They will make payments the next few months.

They are utilizing what I call "Vacation Layaway" or simply a "Vacation Payment Plan" to make their Super Nintendo World dreams come true at Universal Orlando Epic Universe.

There is still time to get a 2025 vacation on the books this holiday season to surprise your family on Christmas morning! 🎄💖

Contact me today, and let's make your vacation dreams come true! Where do you want to go?
