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. Google and TripAdvisor should be taken with a grain of salt - you need a pro who can vet and verify the information you read online. 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.

If you’d like help with your next vacation, let’s chat! In our initial consultation I will take the time to get to know you as we chat about what type of trip you are dreaming of. You can book your call by sending me a message or an email at [email protected].

Have questions about how we can work together? Drop them below ⬇️, or send me a DM.

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.

So far I have had the chance to hear from top executives from these companies and others about how their companies can make those trips happen as smoothly as possible.

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.

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.

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!

On the second day, delight in Italy’s burst of citrus with Limoncello! 🍋💛

This zesty liqueur captures the sun-kissed essence of the Amalfi coast in a sip. It’s the taste of centuries-old Italian hospitality. From the rolling Tuscan hills to the historic streets of Rome, Italy beckons. Bellissima awaits when you book your next adventure with me!

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!

Time to take a break from unpacking at my new home and head off to France. I’ll be with a small group on an AmaWaterways cruise down the Rhône in the south of France.

I can’t wait for the wine tasting excursions and the special private events we will have as a group!

Follow along so you don’t miss a thing! I’m sure you will want to be part of my next wine group trip!

Sunsets at sea are my favorite!

I know I haven’t posted in forever!!!! Life’s been crazy with a big move and lots of travel. But I’ve had the opportunity to cruise now for the second time this month on Celebrity, and I’m in love!!!!

I also don’t advertise deals usually (though I can usually find you some), but while I’m on board here on the Celebrity Equinox, they are generously allowing me to offer an exclusive deal. So let me know if you want to sail too!

Not a bad way to spend the evening after a hot day of working on group cruises and trips to the Caribbean.

I love sitting on my porch here in the mountains on nights like this! It’s raining, there’s thunder in the distance, I can feel the breeze through the screens. It’s one of my favorite places to be and reminds me what all of our hard work is for.

Where do you like to go to recharge and relax?

Today’s where where in the world does Dana’s office go takes me to the suburbs of Philadelphia on a last minute house hunting trip.

We ended up selling our house in MKE before we even listed it (which is great!), but now we need to buy one in this crazy market. Wish us luck!

But while working in the couple hours between showings tonight, I thought I’d order something small to nibble on here at the hotel bar. 🤣 This platter is enough to feed a couple people!

Today’s office is the patio of my hotel in Chicagoland.

I had a great supplier show yesterday where I reconnected with supplier friends and learned about new ones that will help me provide great experiences for my clients.

Tonight I am going to a fun event sponsored by to hear about all of their new and exciting things coming up.

Different day, different office

I think I’m going to start posting where I’m working from. Some people post their fun locations for things…like I have a friend that posts beautiful places she has drinks ( 😉). So maybe this will be my thing 🤣

I seem to find myself working in tons of different places, few of which are ever my office and many involve a drink 🤦‍♀️😂🥂I swear I’m working!

I love the people I meet on cruises!

We have met some great people and have been having the best time. Don’t have pictures of everyone, but here are a couple that have been making this trip that much more special.

Have you made friends on vacation that you’ve kept in touch with?

The food on Virgin Voyages is amazing!

There is no main dining restaurant. It’s all specialty dining and all included in the cost of your cruise fare.

Tonight we are eating at Gumbae. It’s Korean barbecue style food but the most social dining you can imagine. You are seated with a group whether you come with one or not. And along with great food you have fun playing drinking games.

Make sure to eat at Gumbae on your next

What a nice surprise to come back to in our cabin!

Champagne and charcuterie before the scarlet party on is a great way to start the night! Our butler Petra is the best!

The extra amenities and care we have received is so worth it! Ask me how to be pampered like us on your next cruise.
