Want to take your next trip to the next level? Sometimes, the small upgrades are what can make a big difference in your overall travel experience. My job is to help you take your trip from good to great.

>> Stay in the right hotel.
This might feel like a no brainer, but choosing the very best location means you'll be able to access everything you came on your trip to do and see. Plus, staying in a hotel that's exactly your style and a room with a view makes every day better.

>> Book a private airport transfer.
Skip the hassle of finding a taxi, negotiating rates, or navigating public transport after a long flight, and go for the ease of having a driver waiting for you at the airport.

>> Opt for private tours.
A curated experience means avoiding the crowds and getting insider access to the best spots. Plus, having a private guide means that your tour is fully customized to whatever your interests might be, and you can spend as long as you like wherever you are most into.

>> Upgrade your flight experience.
Those lie flat seats are amazing, but even snagging the front row of economy for extra space and comfort can make a world of difference in your journey.

What should you do if your flight is cancelled?

Unfortunately, travel hiccups can happen to all of us, and if your flight is cancelled or majorly delayed, the best thing to do is be prepared.

>> Stay calm and be patient. There's always another way to get there, and patience goes a long way with airline staff.

>> Talk to an airline rep at the airport to quickly get rebooked on the next best option. Many airlines also have an app you can use to connect with their agents.

>> Ask for alternatives. You may be able to fly into a different nearby airport or even use a different airline if they can't get you to your destination within a reasonable time frame.

>> Know your rights. Depending on the scenario, you may be entitled to compensation from the airline for your delays, and you may be able to file a claim with your travel insurance.

It’s easy to underestimate how many decisions go into planning a trip from start to finish. Maybe you’ve narrowed down your destination, but now you’re scrolling through hundreds of resorts or sightseeing options, wondering, "How do I even choose? And what's really the best for me?"

>> Start with your priorities.
Ask yourself: What’s most important for this trip? Is it an all-inclusive experience, having an adult or family friendly vibe, or ticking something off your bucket list?

>> Consider your must-haves.
Think amenities: things like swim-up bars, private plunge pools, or spacious family-friendly suites. Make a list of non-negotiables and let that guide your search.

>> Think about the vibe.
Do you want something relaxed and intimate, or lively with lots of activities? The feel of the resort can make or break your trip.

>> Lean on an expert.
My job is to help you find your perfect match. Skip the overwhelm, and let me handle the details. I can help you find that one perfect resort or itinerary that checks every box.

I had an amazing stay in Austria at the river cruise expo, learning so much more about the different cruise lines and touring the ships.

Thinking about a river cruise but not sure what to expect? Here are 10 things to know before you go:

1️⃣ Small ships + fewer people
Most river cruises hold around just 150 guests, offering a more relaxed and personalized journey, compared with ocean cruises that can accommodate 2000+ guests.

2️⃣ Dock in the heart of the action
Unlike ocean cruises, river cruises dock in city centers, so you can step off the boat easily and start exploring immediately. River cruises take you right through a country, whereas ocean cruises take you around it.

3️⃣ All-inclusive experience
Most river cruise lines include meals, drinks, wifi, gratuities, and excursions in the fare, so the value factor is big here.

4️⃣ Unpack once
River cruises allow you to do and see a ton on your trip while unpacking your bags once. You'll wake up in a cool new place each day without worrying about all of the logistics in between.

5️⃣ A cruise for everyone
River cruises aren't a once size fits all trip. There are a range of lines catering for different ages and interests with things like active excursions, wellness programs, cultural activities, and modern onboard experiences.

6️⃣ Unique destinations
River cruises take you where big ships can't, like those small villages, castles, and hidden gems.

7️⃣ Excursions for every interest
Whether you're into walking tours, bike rides, food experiences, or simply doing your own thing, there are always multiple options at every port.

8️⃣ Great food options
You can expect high quality meals on board, with menus often featuring regional specialties, plus farm-to-table freshness and world-class wines.

9️⃣ Theme cruises
Love wine, music, or history? There are special cruises dedicated to these interests and more, as well as the ever popular Christmas market cruises through Europe during the holiday season.

🔟 Extend your adventure
Itineraries make it easy to continue your adventure on land before or after sailing, across Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America.

This is the season for learning, and I am SO excited to be heading off to Vienna, Austria, to participate in the ASTA River Cruise Expo. ⛴️

River cruising has fast become one of the coolest ways to travel. Unpack once, and you'll see it all aboard a small ship. There are a ton of itineraries out there, for active travelers to the more relaxed and covering Europe's big cities and hidden gems, southern Africa, Egypt's Nile river, Southeast Asia, and then some.

It'll be a busy week for me touring 15 ships across every major cruise line. I'll also be staying aboard the ships to get the full experience, attending talks, networking with all of my tour partners, and learning as much as I can to provide you with the very best vacation experience.

What questions do you have about river cruising? ⤵️ And follow along this week for updates, insights, and special offers!

"What exactly does a travel advisor do?"

Great question! I plan fully customized trip itineraries specific to your needs, interests, and style. That includes the big things like flights, hotels, experiences, and transport, but it can also include the little extras like hotel perks, the best spots to dine, and unique local experiences.

I plan and book, and you take the trip.

And it's all packaged together on one handy mobile app for you to easily take with you on your trip!

One of the most important ways for me to provide you with the best vacation experience is through continued industry training.

I'll be spending this week in Orlando at the Crystal Conference, where I'll be networking with all of the suppliers and tour providers I collaborate with when planning your trip. I'm excited for a week of training to continue to learn and grow and to stay up-to-date on everything happening in the travel industry.

South America bucket list ⤵️

Some of the most amazing things that you can do in South America?

1️⃣ Salar de Uyuni: The largest salt flats in the world, found in Bolivia.

2️⃣ Machu Picchu: These incredible Incan ruins need no introduction.

3️⃣ Patagonia: Paradise for mountains and hiking, from short trails to the 8-day O trek.

4️⃣ Iguazu Falls: One of the largest waterfalls in the world, straddling the border between Argentina and Brazil.

5️⃣ Christ the Redeemer: This famous statue is one of the modern wonders of the world and is situated high above beautiful Rio de Janeiro.

Have you visited any of these places? Which would you choose?

"Why travel with kids if they won't remember it?"

Travel teaches my kids to step outside of their comfort zones, to try new things, to go with the flow, and to navigate challenges.

They experience and embrace different cultures, learn languages, and interact with and respect people from all walks of life.

They're learning to appreciate the environment and how to protect it and the beauty of the world around us.

And while they might not remember all of the details of every trip that we've been on, they are gaining an important perspective of the world. And I couldn't be more proud of the world citizens they're becoming.

The gorgeous region of Patagonia covers southern Chile and Argentina and is home to some of the most beautiful mountains and glaciers in the world.

Opportunities for trekking here are endless, from short kid friendly trails to the 5-day W trek and 8-day O trek.

The best time to visit is the southern summer when temperatures are more mild.

You can easily combine your trip to Patagonia to visit cities, Chile or Argentina's wine country, Iguazu Falls, or the Atacama desert.

Sometimes the longest, bumpiest roads led to the very best places. 🇧🇴

Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the world’s largest salt flat. Over 10,000 sq km, this desertlike area is covered with bright white salt as far as the eye can see. In the winter months, rain covers part of the flats, creating a stunning mirror effect against the sky.

This one has been on my bucket list for so long, and it was truly worth every bit of effort to get here.

How to check if you have a REAL ID:

What you’ll need to get one:
✔ Proof of identity (passport or birth certificate)
✔ Social Security number
✔ Two documents proving residency

Check your ID now to make sure you're ready to fly. ✈️

I have it on pretty good authority that future you is going to love the fact that you started planning early for that adventure to Europe in 2025. Because here’s the thing: the best trips aren’t just thrown together —they’re crafted. Planning early means locking in those dreamy boutique stays at optimal prices, securing must-see experiences, and skipping the dreaded “sold out” sign. Whether it’s wandering the cobblestone streets of Florence, catching a sunset in Santorini, or sipping wine in a tucked-away French vineyard, future you will be living their best life. 🥂 Let’s get a headstart on the new year. Send me a message or head to the link in my bio to get started.

Raise your hand if you travel for the food 🙋‍♀️ Although you'll undoubtedly find great restaurants all over Italy, if food experiences are high on your list, then Bologna is where it's at. Bologna has been named the food capital of Italy, and for good reason. Exploring the markets, taking a street food tour, and doing a local cooking class are some of the top things to do here. And with enough time, head to nearby Parma and Modena to tour the cheese and balsamic factories. Do you like to travel for the food? 🍝 . . . #exploroholic #travelinspiration #foodtravel #foodiegram #bestfoodplaces #italytravel #bolognaitaly #foodtour #seetheworld #bestdestinations #wanderlust #travelwithkids #showthemtheworld

Honeymooners, anniversary celebrators, or couples just looking for the ultimate getaway - this one is for you.

And at just 8 hours from the west coast, getting here is faster than you may think. Now who DOESN'T have Bora Bora on their list?? . . . #exploroholic #honeymoontrip #couplestrip #romanticgetaway

I don't know the exact formula for happiness, but for me, this is pretty close to it. What's the next trip on your calendar? . . . #exploroholic #exploremore #travelinspiration #travelreels #seetheworld #wanderlust #travelinspo #daydreaming #jetsetting #vacationmode #traveladvisor
