As in, both of you get to relax, the burden of planning doesn't fall to one person, and you both know where to be and when (because it's in your itinerary!).
Hotel, resort, and villa suggestions tailored to you, experiences with the best local companies and guides, airport transfers, rental cars, ferry tickets — I have you covered!
When you're ready to travel the world with ease, give me a shout!

Pesky summer travel hiccups + what to do about them
➡️ Seat Swap Surprises
So, you’ve checked in online and picked your seats, but then you get to the airport and... surprise! They’ve changed.
What to Do: Head straight to the gate desk (not the ticketing counter). Gate agents are your best friends here—they can help fix the seating situation or find someone willing to switch seats.
Lost or Delayed Luggage
➡️ Your bags are MIA
What to do: Find the airline’s baggage desk near the baggage claim area and file a claim before you leave the airport. If you can’t locate the desk, call the airline ASAP to report your missing luggage.
Hang on to those receipts for any essentials you need to buy—just keep it reasonable (no designer splurges, unfortunately). Then, when you’re back, file a claim with your travel insurance. If you got it.
➡️ Delayed and cancelled flights
What to do: Check the Department of Transportation (DOT) Dashboard: If the delay is within the airline’s control, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Airline Customer Service Dashboard will show you what each airline should do to make it up to you.
➡️ Not Loving Your Hotel Room
Your room’s not up to par? Here’s how to get it sorted
What to do: Ask for the manager. Call from your room or go to the front desk and ask to speak to a manager. Be specific about the issues and honest about what resolution you’re seeking.
➡️ Rental Car Issues
What to do: If your rental car isn’t what you expected, contact the rental company’s customer service. They might be able to upgrade or switch your vehicle. Always check the car for damage before driving off the lot and report any issues immediately.
I hope you don't encounter any of these hiccups this summer but in case you do, use this as your quickstart guide to problem-solving. Enjoy these blissful summer days!

I'll be honest. I don't know why so many people put up with the endless Google searches, Internet reviews and overall chaos and confusion that comes with planning trips themselves???
Especially people who don't really enjoy doing all of the nitty gritty.
Because the alternative is so much better, call up a great travel advisor!
A good travel advisor (like me!) can:
🏨 Serve up resort or hotel options that match your trip.
🌊 Help you get clear on what activities and experiences are worth doing in the destination — or maybe none. Sometimes all you need is time to starfish on a beach lounger.
🔎 Research and book everything for you so you don't have to lift a finger
✨ Jump in and assist if you have any challenges on your trip.
It can absolutely be that easy! Ready when you are to start planning, it all starts with a DM.

Inside those popcorn containers is actually a cocktail: a version of an old fashioned and the whiskey is buttery!
Forget the usual. Cruise the rebellious way on Virgin Voyages 🎉
Barcelona is absolutely gorgeous in the Fall.
You can still enjoy tapas, mountain views, Cava, exploring Gaudi's work, the great weather — all without the hustle and bustle of the summer months.
And what's even better is that while everyone is vying for summer accommodations and tours, you get to take a much more leisurely approach to planning your Fall trip.
Have questions about the best hotels, tours, restaurants and things to see/do in Barcelona in the Fall? Send me a DM!

No kids. All thrills. Set sail with Virgin Voyages. Welcome to Beach Club at Bimini!
I AM SETTING SAIL FOR ADVENTURE AND AMAZING FUN ON VIRGIN VOYAGES NEXT WEEK! 🛩🚢
I've recently completed my Gold Knot Certification with Virgin Voyages and I am excited experience this "fresh version of cruising!"
Some of the ways Virgin Voyages differs from other cruise lines:
🚢 Adults-Only Escape 18+ yro : Peace out to kiddos on this grown-up getaway. Average age of their cruiser is 48
🚢 No Anoucements and no photographers presurring you to say "cheese"
🚢 Foodie Paradise: mind-blowing culinary creations from Michelin star chefs. No buffets, every meal is cooked to order. 20+ eateries. No set dining times.
🚢 No Dress codes: dress up or down, keep it real for you.
🚢 Unforgettable Entertainment: Captivating shows think "cirque du soleil" not Broadway, live music (the founder is Richard Branson of course there is live music), every cruise has a PJ party the first night!
🚢 Wellness Redefined: Find your zen with state-of-the-art fitness facilities, rejuvenating spa treatments, and wellness classes -- all fitness classes are free.
🚢 Itineraries leave from ports in Miami, Athens, Barcelona and San Juan ️

We hope each of you are well and enduring this time of uncertainty. Even as we practice social distancing, we want to stay connected to you because connection is more important than ever now.⠀
⠀
And theoretically, we have more free time these days, but many of us also have a lot more juggling to do at home-- leaving us with very little uninterrupted time to devote to self-care or organized exercise. ⠀
⠀
Shannon and I got together and decided to give you an option-- other than a full length class which may be hard to fit in your schedule. We put together a series of videos that highlight 3 Exercises to Maximize Your Wellness.⠀
⠀
We have created 10 videos that will be posted weekly on Monday and Thursday. In each video, Shannon demonstrates 3 exercises with easy cues to follow, modifications, and alignment tips. ⠀
⠀
⭐️Most exercises we recommend 10-12 reps or 60 seconds timed⠀
⭐️Complete the 3 exercise routine 1, 2, or 3 times through for a solid workout that won’t take any longer than 15 minutes
⠀
🌟These exercises done for 5-15 minutes a day will build up your strength and give you a nice little boost of those feel good endorphins. ⠀
⭐️For each video. Do and repeat the same 3 exercises for 3 days. Easy to remember so you won’t need a device to follow along on and you can easily start and stop this routine at a moment's notice or when you have a pocket of time.⠀
⠀
👉🏻We hope you find this useful and beneficial. We had fun making them, then we ate pizza and drank wine.
Meet up with us on one of our Zoom hangouts to do that with us soon too! Check our page for the times and link.
{virtual hugs} to all!
