In honor of the 1-year anniversary of my business, I've created an exclusive Facebook group for my clients and future clients! Here you can gain access to tips + tricks, deals + discounts, and group travel opportunities that you won't always find on my main page. ✨

But most importantly, you'll gain access to a group of travel-loving individuals! 🌎

I hope that this group can serve as a safe space to ask any questions, share inspiration, and have travel related discussions!

As I grow and expand my business, one huge goal of mine is to host group trips for clients and friends! My ultimate goal is to fulfill others' dreams of traveling and seeing the world, and as I begin to brainstorm and look into the best suppliers for these types of trips, I want to know...

Where do YOU want to travel?

Your feedback will definitely help as I create my plans for the next few years! ;)

This business of mine launched almost a year ago! Over the course of the past year, my absolute favorite part of being a travel advisor has been building relationships with all of my clients, hearing feedback after a trip, and seeing pictures of beautiful, smiling faces on vacation! It is an absolute privilege to help people see the world! 🌎

As I look forward to my one-year anniversary and reflect on the first year of my business, I encourage you to send your travel-loving friends my way! Let's make more travel dreams happen for years to come!

The sun peeked out just before we entered the Yukon and came with us all the way to Emerald Lake! It's no secret why they call it Emerald Lake - the colors were amazing!

21/06/2024

Skagway truly showed us a winter wonderland - even if it was spring!

20/06/2024

Sitka, AK definitely welcomed us to Alaska, but we decided that we wanted a more "formal" greeting at our Skagway stop. Next up on my Alaska recap, I'll be highlighting Skagway! At this port stop, we did an all-day tour that started with a guided tour from the port allll the way to Emerald Lake in Canada. After this section of the tour was over, we hopped on the White Pass railway to get back to Skagway, where we spent some time exploring the town!

Yesterday, I posted a few videos of some of the wildlife we saw on our whale watching excursion... and today, I'm sharing one of the funniest creatures we encountered on our tour. This little guy is Niko! He napped beside us for the entire tour. It was his 9th year on the boat, and you could tell that he loves his job!

I'm finally sharing my Alaska recap! Our first port stop of the cruise was Sitka, Alaska. In case the sign didn't clue you in, this stop was aaaallll about the wildlife! We went on a whale watching excursion where we saw everything from baby bald eagles to sea lions to humpback whales!

Stay tuned for tomorrow's videos to see all of the wildlife we saw (all from the comfort of a heated boat!)

It’s not everyday you have the chance to be quoted in Business Insider! I’m so thankful for the opportunity to share my thoughts on the resurgence of travel agencies among the Gen Z and Millennial populations.

Life is too short and PTO is too limited to have boring vacations! Let a travel advisor take the stressful parts of vacation planning off your plate.

Read the full article here:

Millennials and Gen Z are taking big trips — but they don't want to plan them. It's sparking a travel-agent boom.

When visiting the Pacific Northwest, be prepared for rain! This is how my hike started, but by the end of it I was so thankful the rain was there to cool us off!

Where are my outdoor lovers at? I've got the full scoop on all of the hiking trails and scenic views that you should stop at in the Pacific Northwest!

13/06/2024

Views from Diablo Lake! It was stunning on a rainy day - pictures don't do it justice, but when the sun shines, you're met with gorgeous snow-capped mountains and bright turquoise waters.

12/06/2024

The water in North Cascades National Park has a beautiful turquoise tint to it - this is due to glacial runoff. If you love gorgeous scenery with mountains, glaciers, and lakes then I highly recommend a visit to this park.

11/06/2024

If you love seeing beautiful flowers everywhere, then the Pacific Northwest is definitely the destination for you! While exploring North Cascades National Park, we saw these lupines in bloom everywhere!

10/06/2024

Okay, the moment you've been waiting for... I'm finally sharing a recap of my most recent trip, and Alaska photos are coming soon!

But first, I've got to highlight this STUNNING National Park! North Cascades National Park is a paradise for outdoor lovers, offering tons of trails, stunning alpine lakes, and diverse wildlife. Whether you're into hiking, climbing, or just soaking in the views, North Cascades make the perfect day-trip from Seattle or stop on a longer road-trip!

It is a bit less popular than Mt. Rainier or Olympic National Park, though after visiting, I genuinely cannot tell why because it is absolutely gorgeous! Less popular just means less crowds, which is just an added perk in my book.

Did you know that there are 3 National Parks within a 3-hour radius of Seattle? When you think Seattle, you may think of the city, but Seattle is a perfect central destination to fly into for some stunning nature around the Pacific Northwest!

Happy World Bicycle Day! It's said that Amsterdam's 811,000 residents collectively own around 881,000 bicycles. That's right, there are more bikes than people in the city! 🚲🌍

Want to bike around Amsterdam? I can help with that!

Who is ready for an opportunity to travel with the (probably like 6th) coolest person on your social media feed?! 😉✈️

Here are the details:

✨5 days in October 2025 (so if you start making payments now, then by the time the trip rolls around it's basically free, according to girl math).

✨Adults only cruise setting sail from Miami and making stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Bimini, Bahamas!

✨GREAT food and nightlife! Mediterranean bites, Korean BBQ, 2AM pizza... you name it!

✨Daily entertainment and activities including live shows, dance parties, and themed events

This is going to be a great trip! Drop a 🙋‍♀️ in the comments if you want more details!
