I’ve been enjoying this beautiful weather this last week! So thankful to be able to work from home in such a gorgeous location and get to go outside to use this backyard as my office.

Costa Rica is truly a special place!

I had the opportunity to do another wonderful travel agent FAM with other Nexion friends through one of my preferred and trusted suppliers, Memorable Travel. They put together a week packed with resort visits, excursions and cultural experiences all over the country to give all of us chances to see many of the vastly different regions of this special place. Some of these places I have visited before and some I hadn’t. But it was that much more exciting to be able to visit again with some of my favorite people and watch them fall in love with one of my favorite countries.

I can’t wait to share even more photos and info with you! It here is just a taste of the fun I had…

Right now my thoughts are with those dealing with the unthinkable deviation that Mother Nature has brought.

I’m so fortunate to be in Costa Rica right now visiting multiple amazing regions, seeing beautiful hotels and meeting with trusted suppliers. But I will share more about this experience later when the time is right.

Enjoying some time in Costa Rica with my daughter and my good friend, Rodo for a couple days before I start a travel agent business trip. My daughter is planning to come back in the spring for a Spanish immersion program and this was the perfect opportunity to let her see the school and the city and meet my friend who lives nearby. And selfishly I got to be with her for her first visit. 😊 She’s loving it as much as I knew (and she knew) she would!

Fall travel reminders if you’re taking a trip this cozy season.

📌 Bookmark so you don’t lose track of this!

🍁 Double-check for seasonal closures: Some attractions and businesses may close or reduce hours after summer, so make sure you check ahead of time to avoid any disappointments.

🍁 Be ready for the weather: Depending on where you’re going, don’t forget to pack for chilly evenings and rain.

🍁 Don’t forget about harvest season: It may not be the reason you’re traveling specifically, but don’t forget to add those local farms, orchards, or vineyards to your itinerary!

🍁 Beware of the foliage crowds: Popular leaf-peeping spots can get really crowded, so plan ahead, arrive early, or hunt for those lesser-known spots.

🍁 Take advantage of shoulder season perks: As tourism slows after the summer rush, make sure you’re taking advantage of lower prices, special deals, and more personalized service at hotels, resorts, and tours.

🍁 Remember that days are shorter: Daylight saving time is around the corner, and daylight hours are shorter. This may impact how you put together your itinerary.

➡️ And the ultimate fall travel hack?

Working with a travel advisor who‘s got your back (and your itinerary) covered.

Remember, my DMs are always open to any and all of your travel questions. 😉

A little bit of honesty on this Sunday evening.

EVERY hotel looks great from the photos online. When you actually get there, it can be a different story.

That feeling when you pull up to the lobby only to realize that the photos are out of date? Not fun.

That’s why I make it my mission to have first-hand information for clients when they ask about a resort or hotel.

Either I’ve stayed there and can give my unfiltered opinion, or I’m inquiring with very trusted partners to get details.

Things like:

👉 Whether the suites are actually worth the splurge.
👉 Which rooms have the best views and the least noise
👉 Whether the spa services should be booked or skipped

No fluff here — just honest advice to help you make the most of your very valuable vacation days.

If you’re ready to plan, DM me or send me an email at [email protected] and let’s get started!

Have you ever been through a hurricane?

I have never….yet…

But I am in New Orleans for my yearly convention. And as we say in the industry, I go so you know. So here I go!

(More interesting updates from this amazing conference later after the ⛈️🌀 passes)

I’m so excited about what I’m working on this week! (My office view today doesn’t hurt either 😉)

After a bunch of research and curating I think I’ve finally nailed down the perfect itinerary for my clients to Jamaica for a 40th birthday trip. 🎂

They wanted luxury, relaxation and a wonderful spa and I made it my mission to find the perfect resort that would deliver on that type of experience.
Part of their itinerary will include a couples massage.

I think I’m almost ready for the big reveal to my clients! Wish me luck. 🍀

Are you thinking of planning a celebration trip? I can help you too! Send me a DM or an email at [email protected] and let’s chat.

If you’ve ever thought to yourself there has to be an easier way to plan a vacation than trying to rely on Google and Instagram to figure out what your choices are and how to get it all booked, then keep reading.

The solution is simple, call me! ☎️

It all starts with a call or message to a travel advisor. And you’re in the right place! ✨ That is exactly who I am!

The truth is there IS an easier way to plan a trip without spending all of your time on Google. The bonus is that I can be a gateway to many perks that travel advisors have easy access to.

I have visited countless resorts, met with so many managers, staff and executives from hotels and cruise lines and have contacts from all over the world 🌎to know the truth about where I send my clients.

A refreshing and very welcome drink when I arrived at my first destination here in Antigua!

So excited for a few days of visiting luxury resorts on this beautiful island! Stay tuned for more!

You know my flight this morning was too early when I arrived at my connecting airport almost 3 hours later and it wasn’t even 9:00 am! 🤦‍♀️ Is it nap time yet? 🤣

But it’s all worth it! I’m off on a work trip to see Antigua and I couldn’t be more excited! It’s sacrifices like these that I am willing to do for my clients! 🥱🏝️😉

Of course I’ll be posting pictures of the beautiful island and resorts I see and stay at! (Soon as I get that nap)

ASTA River Cruise Expo came together with over 1200 agents, 9 river cruise companies and 12 different ships to help us be able to make our clients dream vacations come true.

I’m so excited to have the chance to tour and experience all of these ships this week! Follow along to see more and be prepared for serious wanderlust! Let me know when you’re ready to start planning your river cruise.

Have you ever been on a river cruise?

Getting some work done while I wait for my flight to Amsterdam for the River Cruise Expo.

Can’t wait to be going for the second year in a row! It is such a great opportunity for me to meet with important industry contacts, learn about so many cruise lines, tour and experience 11 different ships and learn as much as I can so that I can best help my clients know what the right vacation options are for their needs.

Have you ever been on a river cruise?

Happy New Year!

This has been a year of many challenges and many great experiences! Professionally I’ve had the chance to visit many more new destinations and try lots of new experiences through great travel partners. Two of my favorites were seeing Alaska with my extended family on Celebrity and taking a small group on a wine river cruise in France.

I’m so excited for this new year and plans I have in the making! I can’t wait to start my new private group coming in January, more wine group trips, more training opportunities, another trip to the annual river cruise convention and many more amazing opportunities to grow professionally.

May your new year be bright and bring you as many opportunities to grow and prosper!

Drinking wine while sailing down a river in France.

It doesn’t get much better than this! Except maybe sipping the wine while sitting in the vineyard and listening to the the winemaker explain how they cultivated the grapes, processed them and created the delicious wine you are drinking on the land that has been used to grow grapes to make some of the world’s finest wine for centuries.

I love wine! I love drinking it. I love learning about it. I love meeting the people who make it. I love visiting the places it comes from. It’s a passion of mine!

Do you have a passion like mine? Have you ever thought of exploring that passion through travel? Have you already traveled to explore your passion? Tell me about it!

A little prelude to the big performance at our last party here in New Orleans to end this weekend of learning and networking. I have to say that New Orleans has definitely surprised and delighted us luxury travel agents! Can’t wait to come back on vacation. What is your favorite thing to do here?

Howler monkey climbing through the trees

I have gotten the chance to see so many amazing animals so far here in Costa Rica including this howler monkey in the trees above our resort. They make for a very interesting and disturbing alarm clock at 4:45 in the morning.

Platform 9 3/4

Have you ever wanted to go to platform 9 3/4 just like Harry Potter? My family got to do it today!

Are you a beach or a pool person? I prefer to lie on the beach 🏖 and occasionally enjoy a few waves, but if it’s a hot day and I want to have some fun with friends and a cocktail or two, you’ll find me in the pool! #beach #pool #beachdays #poolparty #swimupbar #waves #couplestowerisle #sandalsroyalplantation #jamaica #visitjamaica #onelove #oneloveagent #takemeback #illtakeeither #herestotravel
