Before you dive into planning your next vacation, take a moment to really think about the goal of this trip. What do you need right now, and why are you planning this vacation?

➡️ How are you feeling?

➡️ Are you celebrating something…are you burnt out?

➡️ Who’s by your side – family, your significant other, or friends?

Once you understand the goal of the trip, then you can start to craft it from a place that’s a lot deeper than just “I need a vacation.”

And that's where I turn those goals into detailed plans.

I’ll help you find the perfect places to stay, must-do activities, and hidden gems that match your vision and budget.

Plus, I’ll guide you through any travel hurdles and make sure every detail is taken care of.

With your goals for the trip clear, and my experience and expertise, your vacations truly get elevated to another level. 💪

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?

As a travel advisor, I'm a natural planner - though my own adventures often take a back seat while I craft perfect itineraries for clients. In truth, my travels are much more spontaneous than I'd advise my clients to be!! 😉

Do you plan far in advance or last minute?

I've been planning trips to Croatia for years, and as my clients get more adventurous, they get more and more complex!!

But let’s go back to the basics for a minute, shall we?

If it’s your first time in Croatia, here are my recommendations:

Stay: For a first trip, a visit to the Dalmatian Islands are a must! I love Hvar for both couples and families.

Eat: You have to try the local, fresh truffles from their Istrian region. And the fresh seafood is incredible.

Do: I don’t recommend trying to fit everything in Croatia into one trip. I recommend taking your time so you can truly enjoy, and for that reason, I recommend narrowing your focus on 2 main experiences — I recommend sailing around the Pakleni Islands and a historical walking tour (both Split and Dubrovnik are amazing!).

Have any questions about visiting Croatia? Don’t hesitate to reach out!

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 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 (or bathing suit, if you're like me!)

As a mom of 4, I totally get the juggle! Family travel planning: where chaos meets excitement 😉 If you need a hand with those tiny details, I've got your back!

I'm in my Grand Velas Pink era...

I'm obsessed with the Grand Velas Cabo properties. Literally something for everyone.

- Next door, a relaxing adults-only boutique property with top notch service, foods, and drinks.

Moms - the end of the school year is quickly approaching and you KNOW you could use a week to kick back in a lounge chair after all the projects due, exam study time, awards banquets, and graduation parties...am I right?

Let me HELP! :)

Seasoned travel advisor {and mom of 4!} here 🙋‍♀️

The quickest and least stressful way to get you back to balance after a long school year is to call in reinforcements!

My goal is to:

✅ Tailor your trip specifically to your tastes and travel style.

✅ Make your travel planning process super easy and personal.

✅ Plan and book the details so you don’t have to.

And I may be biased but travel is SO much better and easier when these things are taken care of for you.

When you’re ready to plan that trip, let’s connect. We can chat about your trip over coffee/tea and a discovery call, and I’ll share my recommendations + all of the ways I elevate your next vacation. Send me a DM!

One of my all-time fave honeymoon combos!
So excited to send my lovely clients off to check out the magical islands of Croatia and Greece this month!

Here are the trip highlights:

⛵ Hvar, Croatia - set sail in the Adriatic Sea for a day trip to the stunning Pakleni Islands.

🥘Dubrovnik, Croatiac - explore the historic Game Of Thrones setting and join a cooking class to learn how to make traditional local dishes.

✈️ Next, they'll jetset off to Greece for the second portion of their adventure!

🏛️ Athens, Greece - A private Acropolis Tour combined with a walking food tour of Athens for both ancient history and tasty treats.

⛱️ Paros, Greece - soak up beach + fun in the sun!

🍇 Santorini, Greece - And to wrap up this amazing European honeymoon, they'll touch down in Santorini for a wine tour and sunset catamaran sailing!

👌 Honeymoon perfection (if I do say so myself) and I can not WAIT for them to experience it.

Here's why counting on the internet might not be your top choice for booking a trip.

Those flashy hotel pics plastered all over Google? They don't always show the real deal. Trust me, I've been there in person.

And let's not even start on the reviews — what rocks one person's boat might sink another's.

That's where I step in — I dig deep for my clients.

I give you the lowdown on everything you need to know about the trips you're eyeing – from what your rooms and amenities are really like to tips on making the most of your time.

My suggestions? Not based on fancy pics or popular buzz — they're rooted in facts and my own adventures.

Because let's be real, nobody wants to be underwhelmed when you should be soaking up the good life under the sun (or snow, if that's your jam).

Got any burning questions about trip planning? Drop 'em in the comments.

Or shoot me a DM to chat about your adventures.

Can I give you some tough travel love? Yes? Okay, here goes!

Google doesn’t have your back. There, I said it.

Google is a wealth of information about everything, and that’s what is so great about it, but also what’s not so great about it. And especially when it comes to travel.

Google won’t be there to:
>make sure all of your travel documents are in order,
>call ahead to let the resort or hotel know you’re coming and to treat you like a VIP,
> or get to know YOU so the trip you’re taking is tailored with your travel preferences in mind.

But I do all of those things for you, and more.

It all starts with a complimentary trip consultation. Send me a DM or email at [email protected] to get started!

April is flying by, isn’t it? Here’s what I’ve been up to:

This month I got to curate a dreamy escape for clients jetting off to the Azores islands of Portugal and a family autumn adventure to Italy.

And oh, the excitement of finalizing those last-minute details for my clients heading to Greece and Ireland next month.

I'm also helping SO MANY fantastic clients gearing up for their Disney Cruises for the week after school lets out!

AND somehow I'm managing to carve out time in my crazy schedule to get away to Cabo at the end of the month to meet up with our amazing !

And now I’m just staring at my phone, waiting for you to message me so I can start building your dream vacation, too.

What are you waiting for? ;)

Let‘s talk European Summer ☀️

Between Taylor Swift concerts and the Summer Olympics, everyone is scrambling to stay in London, Paris, and Edinburgh, and if you’re looking to avoid the chaos, you’ll appreciate these off-the-beaten-path suggestions!

Here are my top 3 trip ideas for summer in Europe without the crowds:

🍷 Slovenian Istria, Slovenia - Experience charming coastal towns, vineyard-covered hills, and delicious local cuisine for an authentic getaway away from the crowds.

🏖️ Puglia, Italy - With its whitewashed hill towns, crystal-clear waters, and delicious cuisine, Puglia offers a more laid-back and authentic Italian experience away from the crowds of cities like Rome and Florence.

🛡️ Alentejo, Portugal: Here, you'll find rolling vineyards, medieval towns, and unspoiled beaches along the Atlantic coast. Enjoy the slower pace of life, savor local wines, and immerse yourself in the rich culture of this hidden gem in Portugal.

Ready to ditch the crowds and explore the unseen sides of Europe?

Send me a DM and let‘s craft an itinerary tailored just for you! :)

Okay, let's talk about the real magic of vacations - the ones that don't make it to the 'gram. ✨

Imagine the kind of epic moments that don't need a filter to shine.

Memories cannot be encapsulated within a social media post.

Those trips where the memories are so good, they're like insider jokes between you and the destination.

No 'likes' needed for these adventures - just pure, unfiltered fun.

Posting on IG is fun (and I LOVE to see all my client's AMAZING adventures!) but know the magic is happening while you're OFF of instagram and IN destination ;)

I'm home from a whirlwind trip to Amsterdam and the surrounding Dutch countryside!

Wondering what it’s like to visit The Netherlands? Here is the scoop:

- A River Cruise was the *perfect* way to easily explore all the adorable villages, windmills, and markets!

- You MUST enjoy the hot, fresh stroopwafels!

- Must do highlights? Windmills, Tulips, Canal Cruises, Local Breweries, and the Anne Frank House.

Now that The Netherlands is on your radar, my only question is, are you dying to see it for yourself? 🌷🚲

Raise your hand if you’ve been designated the unofficial travel planner for the next family trip...

Now it’s your job to coordinate with everyone, consider all of the members of your group, what they’ll like and what they won’t like, and whether they’ll enjoy the accommodations and experiences you’re planning.

Or you can pass the baton over to me to worry about all of the above :)

Hi, I’m Megan, and I’ve been planning group getaways for 7+ years, so I’m a pro at juggling it all!

It’ll take a huge weight off your shoulders by heading to the link in my bio and booking a call to chat about the group getaway you have in mind.
