Feeling like a VIP when traveling isn’t only exclusive to people who are booking luxury getaways.

✅ You’ll feel like a VIP when you get a personalized itinerary planned for you without having to lift a finger.

✅ You’ll feel like a VIP when everything is booked, all of the logistics have been taken care of and sent to your inbox before your departure.

✅ You’ll feel like a VIP when you run into challenges on your getaway, but instead of sitting on hold for hours to solve it yourself, you have someone to call who will take care of it.

When you work with me you’re on a small list of clients I work with every year to plan their dream vacay. You’re not just a number in a queue of millions all having to call a 1-800 number for help.

Okay, who’s ready to feel like a VIP when you travel in 2025?

Here’s the problem with booking the cheapest vacation package 👇

It feels like a win, right? Knowing you’re finally making those travel goals come true without breaking the bank.

But what happens when the cheapest package means arriving at your resort too late and losing one whole vacation day or includes the resort that’s a two hour drive from the airport which will no doubt lead to a meltdown from the kids?

It’s the difference between looking for what’s cheapest and looking for value.

A small tweak like when you decide to go on your getaway can result in money saved and so much more value added to your getaway.

It also helps to have someone with their eyes on offers and promotions that could match up with your trip, which is exactly what I do.

This year, let’s make sure you get the most out of your vacation days.

Here’s an idea 💡: This spring, skip the crowds and hop on a river cruise instead to see some of the most charming, and often missed, parts of Europe.

But first, you have to choose which river cruise sounds most like you 👇

➡️ The Rhine River: Germany, France, the Netherlands—it’s like a greatest hits album of Europe’s most charming spots. Sail past fairytale castles, wander medieval villages, and soak up all the storybook vibes.

➡️ The Danube River: Ten countries, one epic journey. From Budapest’s glittering lights to Austria’s vineyard-covered hills, this river knows how to keep things interesting.

➡️ The Seine River: Parisian icons? Check. French countryside charm? Double check. This river is basically a love letter to France, and you’re invited to read every line.

Spring is calling, and these rivers are the answer — think mild weather, fewer crowds, and landscapes practically exploding with color.

Ready to pick your perfect cruise?

Send me a DM, and let’s chat about which one matches your style.

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

Goal #1 - I’m making more time for travel! I’m hoping to kick things off with a trip to Sedona, Arizona.

Goal #2 - I’m checking one big thing off my travel wish list. Right now I’m debating between Turks and Caicos, Anguilla and Thailand for my 30th birthday. (PLEASE HELP!!)

Goal #3 - I want to try some new things! Including wine tour in the French Rivera and trying a Portuguese dish.

Pros & Cons of Booking a Trip on Your Own ⬇️

You can totally plan your own trips yourself, so the question really should be, is it worth the hassle?

The Pros:

✅ Full control: Every detail is yours to decide — flights, hotels, activities — it’s all up to you.

✅ The thrill of the hunt: Love chasing deals? This is your moment to shine.

✅ The planning high: Nothing is more exciting than envisioning the trip that’s waiting for you on the other end!
The Cons:

❌ Option overload: Hundreds of tabs open, thousands of reviews and no real clarity on what destination to book, where to stay, what to do, etc.

❌ The endless coordinating: You’ve gotta map out the full itinerary, make sure everything jives, book the right flights, coordinate tours and experience — then you’ve gotta keep track of it all.

❌ Valuable time lost: Unless you’re choosing a generic vacation package, then you’re stuck figuring out every single element of the trip yourself.

Now if you’re in the group who would rather delegate it and skip to the good part, you’ve come to the right place!
I’m currently meeting with clients to map out their first few trips of 2025, want to chat? Send me a DM
