New year, new adventures, and a bunch of new travel goals!

Goal #1 - I’m making more time for business travel. Starting off strong the beginning of January when I'm traveling to Cancun to be with my corporate incentive group to ensure everything runs smoothly. Back to Cancun 3 weeks later to join The Scoop Society Wellness Retreat! Katie and I have been planning this for the better part of a year and I can't wait to be there to experience the retreat as a guest, while also being the travel ambassador for all of our guests.

Goal #2 - I’d like to check one big thing off my travel wish list and experience a new destination. Right now I’m debating between Costa Rica and Scotland (and trying to decide what month I can fit this type of trip in!)

Goal #3 - I'm going to focus on setting aside a scheduled admin day each week, where I work IN my business. Making sure I am up to date on 2025 destination trainings, software program changes for my group clients, and mastering email marketing.

Right now I feel like I should create a vision board for all of these things 😜

Do you have any goals, trips, experiences on your radar for 2025? Share with me in the comments.

A vacation isn’t just about getting away from it all — it’s about making every moment feel amazing. And let’s be honest, it’s the little details that can make or break your trip, like:

➡️ Opening your curtains to a stunning ocean view, not... the resort’s parking lot.

➡️ Staying somewhere that actually delivers — amazing food, top-notch service, and amenities you’ll rave about.

➡️ Spending your time on experiences that are 100% worth it, not just “Instagram cool.”

These things matter, and they’re exactly what I obsess over so you don’t have to.

When I plan your trip, it’s all about making sure it’s effortless for you — no stress, no second-guessing, just pure vacation bliss.

You deserve a break that feels every bit as incredible as the work you put in all year.

Sweaters and socks for the Holidays? How about no.
Do this instead 👇

Waking up to the sunshine and sound of the waves with no alarms.

Sunset cocktails by the beach at while watching the colors of the sky melt into the ocean.

Lazy beach days where the toughest decision is whether to order another cocktail or take an afternoon nap.

It’s not too late to give the gift of travel, but it’s crunch time.

Travel gifts can be as specific or as flexible as you want, let’s chat about how we’ll make you the family’s number one gift giver this year! ✈️

Always here for you 🫶

A perfectly planned vacation, but without having to spend weeks of your time on planning it.

A gorgeous view of the ocean from one of the best rooms at the resort, but without having to scour forums for up-to-date information.

A delicious dinner and the perfect sunset, but without second-guessing whether the food at the all-inclusive you picked is actually good.

Can we skip the hours of research, the second-guessing and the overwhelm from all of the reviews and advice online?

Think of working with me to plan your international trips as your fast track to skip all of the messy and end up at the good part where you’re sipping your drink of choice by the pool while actually relaxing on the vacation you so desperately need.

Let’s get your first trip of 2025 planned, send me a DM to chat!

It's Small Business Saturday and I have some thoughts (that I should probably keep to myself). But it's been a long holiday weekend, so ya know what...

Over the years I have heard "How's your little business going?" and, "Are you still doing that travel thing?"
I politely smile and say it's going well, and yes, I am still doing "that travel thing" because it's my career and my livelihood.

The truth is, I do run a small business. But to me, it is anything but "little".
I am a solopreneur who runs everything by myself. There is no marketing person, no sales team, no admin to handle all the backend boring stuff. Just a one woman show here, friends!

I started in this industry working for someone else. I worked my tail off the first year learning everything I could about what it means to be a travel advisor and how to grow my client base. That first year I made almost no money. I thought about throwing in the towel so many times. But there was that passion in my gut and I just couldn't let go. I have loved this job from the moment I found it.

They say if you love your job you'll never work a day in your life. I am one of the few who actually feel that way. I get excited about getting into my office, meeting new clients, planning awesome trips, expanding my portfolio. All of it.
Of course there are bad days, but the good far exceeds the bad.
My passion has only grown over the years.

Being a small business I know I am competing against billion dollar agencies. The big companies who have the fancy offices and the sales teams and a massive budget to spend on their business each year. If I let myself think about it to much, I get really intimidated by those "big guys".
Then I remember that YOU are here. Reading this post. Supporting my small travel agency.
That I have continued to build and grow a successful business over the years. All thanks to you.

If you are reading this, you do support a small business. You help me pay for my kids activities, put food on my table, and live a comfortable life. I may not have a billion dollar agency (yet), but I know we are just getting started.
Thank you for support. I am forever grateful.

The real Black Friday win? Knowing which travel deals are the real steals and which ones are just shiny distractions.

While everyone else is clicking “book now” on any deal that pops up, I’m here, insider knowledge in hand, to help you sort through the noise. Because let’s be honest—some so-called “deals” are just cleverly wrapped price tags.

Imagine this: having a travel advisor is like having the ultimate backstage pass. I’ve got the scoop on which resorts and destinations actually offer value, quality, and unforgettable experiences that match your style.

So, instead of getting caught up in Black Friday FOMO, let’s find a deal that’s actually worth every penny.

DM me to skip the guesswork and get straight to planning the dream trip at a price that’s just as sweet!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Coming on your feed today to express my gratitude for all of you who read this.

My travel business would be nothing without my clients.
The clients who were friends or family first.
The clients who referred their friends to me.
The clients who found me online and trusted me.
The clients who turned into friends.

You allow me to live my dream every single day.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you ❣️

I recently planned a trip for my client who will be heading off to Spain and Portugal next Spring.

But this was not my typical European booking. This one is special because it is for someone traveling internationally for the first time, and traveling solo.
Can I just get a round of applause for her?! Because making the choice to travel solo to Europe for the first time is not for the faint of heart. I am SO PROUD of her for getting out of her comfort zone! It's going to be an amazing experience.

Because she's never been to Europe she wasn't exactly sure where she wanted to go. We had an in depth call about her travel preferences and what she's really hoping to get out of this trip.
Because she wanted to visit 2 countries (while keeping travel simple) and experience the culture, cuisine, architect and history in a big city, she's starting off in Barcelona.
From there she will head to Faro, Portugal for some beach time because being near a beach was important to her. The cave pictured above is Benagil Cave in Faro, where she will be doing a small group paddle boarding tour. She was super excited about that recommendation!
After a few relaxing days at the beach, she'll take the train to Lisbon to experience the culture, cuisine, architecture, and history of Lisbon!

As always, my clients trips are booked with in destination DMCs so I can ensure someone is nearby if needed. The hotels and tours are vetted with trusted tour operators, and private transportation is always included.
We ensure our clients safety and comfort as much as possible.

There’s a world of perks waiting for you when you work with a travel advisor like me 💁‍♀️

And when you really think about it, it’s the little things - the early check-ins, the room upgrades, the welcome gifts that bring the travel experience to a whole other level.

Imagine walking into your hotel room after a long exhausting flight, and finding a surprise upgrade, or a complimentary gift — those are the kinds of things only your travel advisor can give you 😉

I don’t just book vacations for my clients — I truly care about elevating the entire experience.

If you're going to invest in travel, might as well make every moment count.

Let’s make your next trip the best one ever.

DM me, and let’s start planning something amazing.

When I get messages like this... ⬇️

“I wish I would’ve just booked the trip with you”

*Sigh*

Travel regret hits hard — because once that time is gone, you can’t get it back.

Everyone’s talking about the secluded beach just around the corner, perfect for sunsets…but you missed it because you didn’t know it was there…or the rooftop bar with stunning views and sunset cocktails that you walked right past.

Either way, it stings.

Booking your trip with me isn’t just about getting the travel planning off your plate

I’m here to make sure that you’re getting the most out of your vacation.

I’ll take the time to really get to know you —your interests and priorities for the trip — so that you never miss out on those perfect little spots or experiences that will take your trip to the next level.

So what do you say? Let’s plan your next adventure so there’s no FOMO to be had.

When you think about it, Santa might just be the original globetrotter 🎅- and this holiday, you can take a page out of his book and give someone you love the BEST gift they’ve ever received:

A vacation!

And NO - you don’t have to stress about picking the “perfect” spot or dealing with all the details.

As your travel advisor, I’ll help you choose a destination that fits your loved one’s style and keep the travel dates flexible, just in case they need to make any adjustments

And even if they want to add something like an amazing tour or a few extra days— I’ve got you covered.

Your other option? Don’t pick a destination at all! Simply gift the surprise, and include the curation process of working with me to plan as part of the gift.

Sound like a holiday win? Send me a DM, and let’s get started on putting the most epic gift under the tree.

I’m not saying you can’t book your own vacation, BUT

➡️ If you’re feeling overwhelmed from clicking through page after page of a booking site trying to find the perfect hotel, or…

➡️ You’re not even sure if the destination you picked is actually the best option for the type of trip you want, or…

➡️ If you’re currently reading your billionth review, written by a complete stranger that you’re not even sure you can trust

Then these are signs you may want to opt for working with a travel advisor (Hi, that’s me!)

I’m sitting over here, waving my hands up and down trying to get your attention to remind you that travel advisors exist to make your vacation planning EASY.

I’m talking about taking care of all the research, and all the logistics, and giving you my personal, lived recommendations that you can take to the bank.

When you work with me, the only thing you have to worry about is making it to the airport on time.

My DMs are open if you have any questions or want to book a time to chat. ❤️

🌟 Highlights from Paris and Lyon

Sharing a few details of the 9 day trip my clients just completed!
Fun fact: these clients traveled to Europe 2 years ago and had a short stay in Paris as a stop over. She had NO desire to spend any time in Paris (which was devastating to me!)
Turns out, 24 hours was not enough and she loved the city.
Fast forward to now and all she wanted was to explore more of France, and spend more time in Paris 🥰

They spent 4 nights in Paris, 4 nights in Lyon
🏨 Boutique hotels in great locations
🏯 Several museum visits and tours
🥐 Food tours- both on land and on a river cruise
🍷 Vineyard tour in Beaujolais
🚗 Private transfers between all airports, hotels, and train stations
🚊 Train tickets between Paris and Lyon
🛎️ On the ground support from my local — trusted and vetted— amazing France DMC.

France is always a good idea ❤️
If it’s been on your wishlist, send me a DM and let’s get started on your custom travel planning!

If you’re planning to travel to Italy, France, Greece or Spain in the next 6 months, STOP SCROLLING ⬇️

Next spring/summer feels like an eternity from now but…

Waiting until the last minute to book that trip is some seriously risky business.

Trust me, I’ve seen it too many times:

➡️ Prices skyrocket

➡️ Your top-choice hotels? Fully booked 😩

➡️ Flights with the best schedules? Gone ✈️

And then you’re left scrambling, trying to piece together something that feels more like ‘making do’ than ‘making memories.’

But here’s your quick fix:

When you plan with a travel advisor I take care of everything in advance, so you don’t miss out on a thing.

I’ll lock in the best rates, book your hotels before they sell out, and make sure you’re not stuck overpaying for those last-minute flights.
You can also leave the other details to me — the transfers, tours, and even those “just in case” changes to your itinerary — so you can be focused on the fun part.

Time flies quicker than you think.
So far I've got clients booked for Spain, Portugal, France, London, and Amsterdam for May and June of 2025. These clients were ahead of the game and got everything they wanted, at a price that was amazing. The longer you wait... you've been warned.

DM me today, and let’s start planning that European Spring/summer.
