From my family to yours, wishing you a Happy New Year full of travel and making memories together. Here are some of our best travel memories from the year (Leaning Tower of Pisa, Walt Disney World for Christmas, and visiting Rome for my daughter’s high school graduation trip).

This month, I celebrated 10 years in business! 🌟Throughout those years, I have learned so much and increased the destinations that I confidentially book tenfold. I am forever grateful for my long-term, loyal clients who book their vacations with me year after year. Getting to know you on a personal level and seeing the memories that you make with friends and family fills me with such joy. It is the greatest part of this job!
Despite this being my busiest year to date, I have been fairly quiet on social media. I also have not done a lot of exploratory travel lately. The majority of my travel over the last 18 months has been to St Louis to spend time with my sweet mom as she experienced and overcame major health issues. If you know me, you know family is of the utmost importance to me, and that time was well spent.
As we turn the corner into 2025, my intention is to share more about my most popular destinations, travel inspiration, opportunities to travel on exclusive rates held by Suitcases on Standby Travel, and more.
THANK YOU to anyone who has booked their travel with me in the last 10 years. You are the reason I am still here, and I appreciate you.
Here’s to Year 11!

Tonight at Seattle’s airport, I will have a family of eleven returning from 10 days in Greece pass another one of my clients as they fly out to begin their 2 week trip to Greece. All of them living their travel dreams.
But it dawned on me as I texted final travel arrangements with them today that I am living the dream, as well. Helping lovely people visit lovely places as they make lifelong memories. It’s a special role I get to play, and one that I love. 🇬🇷

Are you looking for a memorable vacation, but do not want the hassle that comes along with planning it? If so, then you have come to the right place. From fairytale vacations for the whole family to couples cruising the Caribbean and everything in between, I will treat your vacation as if it were my own.
When I talk about my job as a travel agent, I hear the same response time and time again: “I didn’t know travel agents existed anymore.” Contrary to this belief, travel agents are experiencing a renaissance. The online travel websites that have become popular in the last two decades may seem like an easy option for booking travel, but people who book trips online often end up frustrated, confused, and disenchanted after spending hours sorting through countless options and reviews. This is where I come in. I am passionate about travel, and will work develop a relationship with you that will allow me to personalize your vacation at no additional cost to you. Here are five reasons that using me as your travel agent will benefit you on your next vacation.
1. CONVENIENCE - I can take care of every aspect of your trip from booking flights and hotels to arranging ground transportation and excursions. I am intimately familiar with the information needed to book a great vacation, and can save you the time that goes into that research. You won’t have to stress over the small details. I will piece all of the components together so that all you have to do is pack and enjoy your vacation.
2. PERSONAL SERVICE – Vacations are not one size fits all, and it is my job to find the trip that is perfect for you. I am a real live person here to help you travel with confidence. When you book your travel with me, there are no call centers with automated menus or random customer service agents. If you need assistance or have questions, I am a just a phone call or message away. One point of contact each and every time, from the beginning of your trip planning until you arrive safely back home.
3. VALUE – Getting the most value for your vacation dollars is of the utmost importance to me. Although I have no control over pricing from travel suppliers, I will work to find the best promotions and deals for your vacation. I have made it a personal policy to never push an upgrade unless I feel it best suits you and your vacation style, and I will always tell you if moving to a lower-tiered room category or resort would be a more cost effective choice for your trip.
4. CLIENT ADVOCATE – I am here before, during, and after your trip, continually looking out for your best interests. If something does go wrong along the way, I will go the extra mile to help answer questions or resolve the issue to get your vacation back on track.
5. KNOWLEDGE – Each day, I research destinations, travel trends, and attend online webinars in the pursuit of the most up-to-date travel industry knowledge possible. Combining this knowledge with firsthand experience from personal travel and on-site trainings allows me to help clients decide which vacation choices are best suited to them. I always have great information about outstanding attractions, the most exciting activities, and the cost-effective ways to fit them into your trip. If there comes a time when I don’t know the best fit for your vacation, I can rely on the vast knowledge of fellow agents within my agency as a guide. We all work together to ensure our clients are satisfied with their travel experiences.
Life is busy, and our children grow up quickly.
Now is the time to create memories to last a lifetime.
