When in Rome 🍝🇮🇹🍕 I’m here in Italy embarking on the FIRST Legendary winter in the Med itinerary. I’m already in love with the small ship atmosphere, cooler temps, and MUCH smaller crowds. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to do THIS trip as my last one for 2023.

You might follow me because of the cool places I get to go, but do you have a guess at what it is I do? I have put together four professional and four personal things to share about my background. Because I couldn't resist, there's a third slide with more tid bits. Have questions about what I do as a travel advisor? DM me or comment here. I'm always happy to help.

What is GTM? You’ve seen me gushing about this since my acceptance to this elite event at the end of January.
It is the Global Travel Marketplace! As a top-producing travel advisor, I was chosen to attend from the hundreds of applications that were received for a limited number of spots. I’m genuinely honored to be here as one of 140 advisors because it’s crucial for me to meet with destinations, cruise lines, tour operators, and others, so that I have all the knowledge necessary to plan my clients’ dream vacations. This has been my goal since attending the future leaders retreat in September 2019 and I wouldn’t be here without the amazing support of and
I truly love my clients and the memories I get to help create for them.
DM me if you’re looking for something extra special because I’m happy to help!

Reunited with the Dream for 4-nights out of Miami. Yes— she’s in Miami now! Disney cruise line was my very first cruise and it was on the Dream in 2015. It’s fitting that my first Disney cruise post restart would be setting sail on the Dream too. I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed DCL! Follow along on during this trip. ⚓️🚢

5️⃣Cheaper Destinations for 2022✈️ Inflation has hit everything, including travel. Supply struggles to keep up with the demand in most destinations. These are 5 destinations still brining the bang for the buck in 2022 when I price out packages for clients— you won’t believe number 5!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Thailand— an easy number 1. The dollar goes far in Thailand and you get a lot for it! Five star accommodations here start around $200 USD a night and you can get great places for ~$50 USD a night that include breakfast. The biggest investment here is the flight, but it’s worth it once you arrive. Thailand recently dropped their entry requirements as well.
2. Romania— all of the Baltic states are fantastic choices for making the dollar stretch a little further. Romania is a great choice with eastern Danube spots to enjoy. CAUTION consider how you feel about being close to the war in Ukraine. Tourist dollars are welcome in these countries, but they’re also experiencing an influx of refugees.
3. Belize— Mexico always makes cheap destination lists. It does not mean all inclusives though! If you still want a great price on an all inclusive, check out the neighbor a little further south. Belize is great for scuba and snorkeling.
4. Portugal— Spain is popular. Italy is popular. Paris is popular. So is Portugal, but not as much. Lisbon is pricing higher than normal, so consider spending the bulk of your time in Porto.
5. Fiji— yes, I know, it’s expensive, BUT it’s cheaper than it was pre-pandemic and makes a perfect pairing with Australia or New Zealand. Fiji Airways has flights out of LAX for a steal on a lot of dates. Fiji recently opened up and they’re welcoming visitors with open arms. Did you know that one tourist to Fiji creates four jobs? Go create jobs!

Planning your trip early can minimize inflation's toll on your vacation budget, no matter your destination.

My parents and my dad's sisters are always who I list first when I’m asked who fostered my love for travel, but I cannot go without mentioning Anthony Bourdain on my shortlist. From my first watch of "No Reservations" in 2005, I was taken with his style of seeing the world and how he shared his experiences. Most of all, he didn't meet a stranger. I try to remember than when I'm out teetering in the unknown.
