Have you ever felt hesitant or unsure about going on a trip?

I know it sounds crazy right? Why wouldn’t I jump at any opportunity to travel?

But back in 2017, I was so hesitant to take a trip to Jamaica because it was my first solo trip outside of the U.S.

But in the end, I’m SO glad I took the leap and went.

👉I came back with new perspectives and fresh ideas.

👉I got to flex those resilience muscles by navigating new locations and adapting to new cultures and languages.

👉I gained that global perspective, one that will help you see challenges through a different lens and embrace the unknown.

Travel can sometimes be scary, but the next time you think about skipping a trip, remember this: Travel is a transformational experience.

Honest question 👇

You’re not a cookie-cutter couple, so why would you settle for a cookie-cutter vacation?

The thing about booking online using a travel website (Sites like Expedia and Booking.com) is that you only see what they want you to.

What if you’re missing out on the perfect resort or hotel because it’s not paying to be promoted on one of these websites?

When you work with me, we skip right to the part where I get to know you, so the recommendations I make for hotels, resorts, tours, experiences, and even destinations, are specific to you.

When my clients shift from booking their couples trips online to working with me so we can customize their experiences, it changes everything!

☀️ They enjoy their travels more.
🏖️ They feel special and taken care of.
🥂 Every trip feels special.

And isn’t that how travel should be?

I’m here when you’re ready for your next level of travels!

Travel planning is key…but a sprinkle of spontaneity?

That’s where the magic is waiting for you.

Here’s how to mix in both to get the most out of your next adventure

👉Set the foundation
Nail down your must-see and must-do things. Think of it as your travel safety net—no missed flights, overbooked hotels and tours, or long lineups. Setting the foundation removes all the stress and FOMO of travel.

👉Flex Room
I always recommend clients leave gaps in their schedule for the unexpected. We always think we can pack more into an itinerary than we probably should I’m guilty!). Use those gaps for exploring and doing things that spontaneously pop up along the way — things like local festivals, hidden-away towns you’re driving through, etc.

👉Stress-Free Exploring
With your essentials covered, you can enjoy unplanned moments without worrying about missing out. You’re going in knowing that you roam freely because your wishlist items are taken care of.

As your travel advisor, my job is to help you find that sweet spot between both.

We’ll get the essentials locked in but leave enough wiggle room for some serendipity.

Be honest — how far in advance do you start planning your trips?

Are you a last-minute planner, or do you have everything mapped out months in advance?

I’m a travel advisor, so naturally, my own travels get left to the last minute because I’m so busy working with my clients.

“Just go online and book the family vacation. It’s so easy…”

Until you’re up at 1 AM thinking…

"Should I book the tour or just rent a car?"

"Should I give that hotel a chance even though it’s an hour away from everything?”

"Is 3 days enough time?”

There are so many little things that come up in the travel planning process that will need your time and attention.

Whether you’re road-tripping through the US this summer or exploring the Côte d‘Azur, here are my top tips for making the most of Google Maps when you travel 🔎

➡️ Save Offline Maps: Before you go, download maps for your destination by tapping the location, choosing "Download," and voilà! You can now navigate without the internet.

➡️ Explore with Street View: Here‘s a cool trick! Drop the adorable yellow peg man on the map and virtually stroll through the streets. It‘s like being there already. Do this around your hotel to get familiar with nearby places.

➡️ Discover Nearby Places: This is one of my favorites! Use the "Explore" feature to find attractions, restaurants, bars, parks, you name it, all in your vicinity. It‘s like having a local guide right in your pocket!

Happy exploring, fellow adventurer. 🌏

Jet-setting through the emerald landscapes of Ireland, the bustling streets of London, and the romantic avenues of Paris, my clients soaked in the best of Europe on an unforgettable 2+ week adventure. Here's what they had to say about their experience:

"If you're not using a travel agent, you're paying too much money for your vacation!! Not only did Angela save us over $10k, but she was able to get us first class tickets with pods to and from London. She hooked us up with amazing hotel accommodations based on what we told her we liked, and she scheduled all of our transports to and from the airports! We did Ireland, London and Paris and she just made it a flawless experience. I highly recommend that you hire here for your next adventure."

🚫 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 👇

Here my top recommendations if you want to plan a short trip that packs a punch:

➡️ Prioritize your must-see attractions: Make an “I can’t leave without…” 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 a 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!

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 celebrate 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!

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. I enjoy mapping things out while hubby takes the wheel, yet I'm also open to giving him a break and sharing the responsibility!

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

Nobody talks about the customer service limbo you can end up in when you choose to book your trip yourself online.

There’s another way!

When you plan and book your trips with me you’re not only getting a trip that’s custom to you, you’re also getting 10/10 customer service.

❌ No 1-800 number.

❌ No stress if travel plans need to change.

❌ No need to be passed around like a hot potato from the booking site’s customer service line to the airline and back to the booking site.

Bottom line: customer service limbo just isn’t where you want to be when you find yourself in need of help on a getaway.

All it takes is a DM to tell me more about your trip!

Oh hey, beach lovers 👋

In honor of summer being right around the corner, I thought I’d share three of my favorite beach destinations for summer getaways.

Bora Bora, French Polynesia: Bora Bora is often described as paradise on Earth, and for good reason. Its crystal-clear turquoise waters, powdery white sand beaches, and iconic overwater bungalows make it a dream destination for honeymooners, luxury travelers, and anyone seeking unparalleled natural beauty.

Fiji: Fiji is a South Pacific paradise known for its palm-fringed beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and warm hospitality. The country's 333 islands offer a diverse range of experiences, from luxury resorts to remote villages where traditional Fijian culture thrives.

Amalfi Coast, Italy: The Amalfi Coast is a stunning stretch of coastline along the Sorrentine Peninsula in southern Italy, renowned for its dramatic cliffs, colorful villages, and charming beaches. Visitors can soak up the Mediterranean sun, swim in azure waters, and indulge in fresh seafood and Italian cuisine while enjoying breathtaking views of the rugged coastline.

Which one of these sounds most like your style?

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

I’ve always had island hopping through Greece on my bucket list. 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?

With all of the options in Greece, 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.

If you’re interested in tailored trips that match your pace, travel style, and budget, and you want someone to handle the finer details for you, you’ve come to the right place!

It’s as simple as sending me a DM to book a complimentary call!

Summer travel plans loading ☀️

I’m especially excited for my clients who are heading to Europe and their itinerary is SO good.

They‘ve been planning this trip since October and we added a special touch with a sweet boutique hotel during their stay in Paris.

They are T minus 17 days from take off.

I never get tired of helping clients bring their travel dreams to life, and I couldn‘t be more excited for them. 🥂

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.

Imagine this: you’re planning a trip that involves multiple generations of your family coming together for a memorable adventure.

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 and your group.

I’m taking mental notes about you and your group, your interests, how your group likes 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.

Send me a DM with a trip you’ve been thinking about, and let’s work together to make it happen.

05/12/2024

You forget your headphones, left the book you planned to pack on the coffee table, and are sitting at your resort paranoid about leaving the hair dryer plugged in.

There’s nothing worse, in my opinion!

Here’s my day before travel checklist that I’ve perfected to make sure I don’t forget anything:

Start prepping a week before: I start setting things aside for my trip, but I hold off on packing until a day or two before, so I remember what’s in my suitcase.

Do a round of editing: Right before I pack, I edit to make sure I’m packing what I’ll actually need. I also check the weather forecast where I’m headed to make sure I’m prepared.

Carry-on check: I double- and triple-check my carry-on for my documents, my AirPods, and my lip chap—basically everything I’ll need on the actual flight (chapped lips on a four-hour flight is the worst!).

Travel admin: I call my credit card company, download airline apps, make sure I have a copy of my boarding pass, etc.

You know that moment when you think of the perfect thing to say but it’s too late because the moment has passed? It’s the worst.

That’s why when an acquaintance a networking event brought up the fact that they didn’t understand why people use travel advisors because they had recently planned their own trip online.

I was so happy that I got the opportunity to speak up and point out the 20 hours this person could have saved herself by letting a travel advisor do the research and book the trip—this person is super busy with her career and kids!

What I didn’t point out is that by booking their hotel on that 3rd party travel website, they left tons of perks on the table, including late check-out and a possible room upgrade.

And if they need to make changes to their flights, they’ll likely be passed from one customer service person to another.

The more you know the better your travels can be! Do you have any questions about travel planning? My DMs are always open.

Close your eyes and picture yourself wandering the streets of Santorini... 🌅

Imagine the sights.

The sounds.

The delicious cuisine.

Ok, back to reality!

One of my clients is making her dream come true and she and her husband will be heading to Greece in just a few months.

I couldn‘t resist sharing a sneak peek into the itinerary I’ve been crafting for them.

Here‘s a glimpse:

They‘ll be staying at the Andronis Luxury Suites, known for its stunning views and carefully chosen for its exceptional service, and luxurious accommodations.

My client is big on water adventures and wine & food, so their itinerary includes some tailored experiences like a sunset Catamaran Sunset Cruise and a Semi Private Island Tour with Wine Tasting & Food Pairing

And, if I‘m honest, that‘s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to exploring Greece.

Is Greece on your list of places to visit this year?

My DM‘s are always open for your questions.
