Planning a family vacation should feel exciting—not overwhelming.

This week’s blog is for every busy parent who’s ever wondered: Should I plan our next trip myself, or is it time to work with a travel advisor?

I’m sharing when DIY can work (and when it’s better to bring in some help) based on my own experience as a mom of three and a luxury travel specialist.

I’m thrilled to send a wonderful couple on an unforgettable European escape next summer!

Their trip includes time in romantic Paris, where they’ll stay just steps from the Luxembourg Gardens and the Seine. From there, they’ll hop over to Vienna for a magical mix of music, culture, and countryside—including a Mozart concert at the Musikverein and a small-group day trip through the Austrian Lake District and Salzburg.

This itinerary is full of beauty, elegance, and meaningful travel moments—and it’s always such a joy to create something that perfectly reflects my clients’ interests and story.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your adventure!

Summer planning mode = fully activated ☀️

I know, I know, it’s only spring! But in the travel industry we’re always looking 4-6 months in advance.

Right now, I’m helping clients map out everything from [Disney adventures \to unplugged beach days in the [Turks and Caicos].

And let me tell you—these summer trips? They feel different. Longer days, happier moods, and that "let’s just go for it" energy.

Personally, I’m all in on [insert your summer vibe—like road-tripping through California’s coastal towns or sailing around the Greek islands].

Not all spring flings are about romance—sometimes they’re about falling in love with a place.

For me, that place was St. Lucia. The moment I stepped off the plane, I could feel it—lush green mountains, soft ocean breezes, and a sense of calm that’s hard to explain. Everything about it felt effortless and beautiful, like it was made for slowing down and reconnecting.

I still find myself daydreaming about it long after I unpacked.

Have you ever fallen for a destination like that? One that stays with you long after the trip is over?
I’d love to know where your travel love story began. 💙

If the Amalfi Coast feels a little too crowded for your family this summer, here’s another idea: Croatia’s stunning Dalmatian Coast.

Think seaside villages, sun-soaked beaches, and medieval towns—with far fewer tourists and the option to explore it all by small ship cruise. It’s one of my favorite ways to experience Europe in the summer, especially if you're craving something a little slower and more peaceful.

Dreaming of the lavender fields of Provence this summer but dreading the crowds? Consider a fresh take on summer travel: a luxury rail journey through the Canadian Rockies.

Canada’s alpine meadows, turquoise lakes, and wide-open beauty offer a peaceful escape—and the Rocky Mountaineer adds an unforgettable layer to the experience. This is the kind of trip your family will talk about for years to come.

If your browser has 27 tabs open and you're this close to giving up on your family summer trip… I see you.

Between finding the right destination, making sure it's kid-friendly (without being chaos), and trying to get flights that don’t require a six-hour layover in Dallas… the excitement can wear off pretty fast.

Here’s how I make planning your family vacation feel easy breezy:

➡️ I filter through the overwhelm—no endless reviews or second-guessing—just the best destination and resort for your family.
➡️ I help you close every tab with a short list of options that actually make sense for your dates, budget, and goals.
➡️ I book everything—from flights to transfers to kid-friendly activities—so you can skip the stress and focus on the fun.

You deserve a vacation that doesn’t feel like work.

I’m so thankful for the trust of a new client and longtime friend who booked a wonderful trip to Scotland!

✨ Their itinerary is packed with memorable experiences — from exploring Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile to visiting iconic Outlander filming locations.

I can’t wait to hear about all the incredible moments they’ll discover! If you’re dreaming of your own European adventure, I’d love to help you plan something unforgettable.

Sure, Google can help you book a hotel.
But it can’t plan the kind of trip where every moment feels made for you.

One of my recent clients—a couple in need of a real escape—wanted to explore Hawaii without the tourist crowds, time-share tours, or resort-only vibe.

They wanted scenic photography spots, meaningful cultural experiences, and room to breathe, so I designed a trip with that exact energy.

✨ Instead of ticking off touristy checklists, they:
➡️ Hiked through a bamboo forest to a hidden waterfall on Maui
➡️ Relaxed in a private hot tub on the cliffs of Kauai, with a view to remember
➡️ Took a hands-on poke-making class led by a local chef in a cozy beachside kitchen

Here’s what they shared after:
🗨️ “We loved our trip to Hawaii. Every part felt like it was made just for us.”

That’s what I love—creating custom travel that goes deeper than the guidebooks.

So tell me… what’s your dream trip?

You don’t need two weeks off to feel like you actually got away—you just need the right trip, in the right place, with zero stress on your plate.

A few days of curated experiences, easy luxury, and time to exhale can feel like a total reset. Especially when I take care of every detail for you.

Here are a few summer getaways I’ve planned recently that prove you don’t need a long trip to feel refreshed:

➡️ Hotel Esencia, Riviera Maya – If you're past the point of burnout and just need to breathe, this is the place. Think oceanfront yoga, private cenotes, and spa treatments rooted in Mayan tradition.

➡️ Gasparilla Island, Florida – A quiet, throwback beach town where you can unplug. Pastel cottages, white-sand beaches, and the old-school charm of Boca Grande. Perfect for when you want no demands, no noise—just rest.

➡️ Napa Valley, California – For couples who love food, wine, and a little romance. I’ll set you up with private tastings at boutique wineries like Ashes & Diamonds, and a dreamy outdoor dinner at Long Meadow Ranch.

➡️ Coastal Maine Road Trip – If your friend group keeps talking about taking a trip but never makes a move, I’ve got you. From lobster rolls in Kennebunkport to spa time at Cliff House in Ogunquit, I’ll map out every stop so all you have to do is show up.

✨You deserve time off that actually feels like a vacation—and that starts with handing off the planning.
