Mexico is so much more than Cancun and the Rivera Maya!

One of my favorite parts of being a travel advisor is introducing my clients to new ways to explore and go beyond Cancun.

And yes — Cancun/Rivera Maya are amazing, as many people know I have been A LOT! But..... if you’re looking for something different, here’s a few ideas:

Isla Mujeres
🌴 Postcard-perfect beaches without the crowds
Just a 20-minute ferry ride from Cancun, Isla Mujeres feels like a hidden gem. Think crystal-clear water at Playa Norte, vibrant local charm, and epic snorkeling with colorful marine life. It’s a quiet escape where time slows down, and yes, you can still sip margaritas by the beach.

Mexico City
🌮 This city has the highest concentration of Museums int he world! It is know for its food, art deco culture and Chapultepec Park, one of the largest urban parks in the Western Hemisphere. How fun would a long weekend here be?!

Cabo
☀️A little more sophistication, but without those swimmable beaches.
Cabo is know for the "Beverly hills" of Mexico where a lot of celebrities reside. The cliffs have some of the best views, some of the lowest crime and perfect weather! who doesn't want to kick back and relax, you want even spot some Whales while you are visiting!

Once you’ve picked your destination, you need the perfect resort or hotel to stay, and I just happen to be an expert in matching clients to accommodations that fit their needs and vibe.

Get in touch when you’re ready to plan your next getaway to Mexico!

The most common mistakes travelers make — from a travel advisor who books dozens of trips a year.👇

I’ve seen it all, from canceled flights that leave people stranded to fighting food poisoning on the other side of the world.

But these are the most common mistakes I see travelers making:

➡️ Packing way too much and then dealing with lugging heavy luggage all over the place

➡️ Skipping travel insurance because ‘nothing will happen‘ (until it does😬)

➡️ Booking connecting flights that leave you with just minutes to sprint between gates.

➡️ Choosing the cheapest deal and realizing they have the lowest room category and the worst flight option.

My job? To make sure that none of these happen to you.

I’ll guide you through everything from packing tips to insurance options, and the best way to maximize your budget.

I’m all about getting you to that first cup of coffee [as you listen to the ocean and watch the sun sparkle over the ocean/as you munch a croissant from a cute little cafe in Nice] as seamlessly as possible.

Let’s make this your best travel year yet — DM me and let me know what destination you’d like to visit next.

02/19/2025

Here’s the thing about booking a trip online through those big booking sites (Think Expedia, Booking.com, etc.)

You’re a number in a queue, a confirmation email in their system. There’s no one looking out for you, no one who knows what you actually want from your trip.

But when you book with me? You’re never just a transaction — you’re my priority.

I’ll make sure every detail is right, from the perfect room setup to ensuring you avoid surprise construction at your resort. And if something goes sideways, I’m here to handle it, so you don’t have to.

Because when it comes to such a special thing like travel, you deserve to be a priority — you deserve care, attention, and someone in your corner. That’s what I’m here for.

🍴 Where to Eat

how about some perks?!

You may not realize that working with me as your travel agent can open the doors to some pretty awesome travel add-ons.

🏨 Sometimes it’s a room upgrade.
🧖‍♀️ Sometimes it‘s a spa or dining credit.
💰 Sometimes it’s special group pricing not available to the public.
💌Sometimes its a special snail mail delivery

And you’ll always get the added benefit of having someone else fuss over the details, book all of the things, and make sure it’s all in order. 💥

A perfectly planned honeymoon, but without having to spend weeks of your time on planning it because let's be real, you don't have it.

Your want a gorgeous view of the ocean from one of the best rooms at the resort, but without having to scour reddit and google for up-to-date information.

A delicious dinner and the perfect sunset, but without second-guessing whether the food at the all-inclusive you picked is actually good.

Can we skip the hours of research, the second-guessing and the overwhelm from all of the reviews and advice online?

Think of working with me to plan your honeymoon as your fast track donwn your wedding to do list. No need to worry as your hardest decision will be to sip that drink on the rocks or frozen.

If you are a 2025 bride, it is time to get your honeymoon booked! Let's do it!

Wrapping up for the year 🎁

I’m so ready for a few cozy nights with the family and way too much hot cocoa/some festive vibes with friends, food, and a much-needed breather to recharge and soak in the season.

But before I officially shift into holiday mode, I’m putting the finishing touches on a family trip to the Caribbean and finalizing some honeymoon add ons for a couple going to Bora Bora!

I’ll be officially back at my desk on Dec 30th so snag an appointment! I will then head to the mountains for a recharge so I am back for 2025! Appointments are open for booking starting Jan 6th! I know 2025 is already shaping up to be a busy travel year for my clients so I’m looking forward to relaxation before things kick off in January.

For now you’ll find me sipping some spiked eggnog 😬
What’s your favorite way to relax this time of year?

12/23/2024

Your biggest 2024 regret… ⬇️

You know the one I’m talking about.

That trip you kept saying you’d plan but just couldn’t find the time for? 😅

It happens to the best of us—myself included (yes, even as a travel advisor!). 😔

I’m still not over the trip to Ecuador for a friend weddings that I couldn't swing due to taking time off of my job (when I was a teacher). But I am promising to myself I will get there!

So, what was that awesome trip you couldn’t quite fit in this year?

Drop it in the comments below and let’s cross our fingers you can make it happen in 2025!

I couldn’t agree more with the saying, “gift experiences, not things”

If being a mom and a travel agent have taught me anything, it’s that the memories made and the experiences had together are priceless.

I see it every single time clients come home raving about their vacations. I also see it when my kids talk about the places we have been!

If you’re thinking of gifting travel instead of things this year, here are 3 trip ideas to put under the tree!

Husband/Wife: Think about a SeaDream yacht experience through the Caribbean! This company will knock the socks off of your loved one! If you rather stay on land, then book a 4 night getaway to Impressions Isla Mujeres! This full butler all inclusive resort is next level and will be nothing like anything you can experienced!

Family: Book a quick weekend cruise on the new Utopia of the seas! If you really want to wow them and can get away for an entire week, hop on the Icon of the Seas (the largest ship at sea)

Adult Kids: Book them a Virgin Voyage cruise! These cruises are 18+ and perfect for your "adult" children with rates starting at $200 per person per night1

What trip would you put under the tree for your loved ones? Your secret’s safe with me!
