Staring down those Black Friday travel deals, wondering if you should take the leap and book? 👀

I’ve been planning travel for nearly 10 years, and I’ve seen it all — the good, the bad, and the too-good-to-be-true.

Black Friday can definitely mean some great savings, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Let’s break it down:
⏰ Timing is everything: Black Friday can have some deals, but they won’t last long! Because of our partnership with resorts, tour operators and cruise lines not only do we have the scoop on the best promotions but in some cases we have exclusive deals just for our clients!

🔎 The Fine Print: I can’t stress this enough. You’ve gotta put a huge magnifying glass on the fine print of these deals because many come with restrictive travel dates and blackout periods.

✨ Personalization Matters: Travel is more than about the destination. It’s about having experiences that match your desires and preferences, and Black Friday days may be enticing, but they so often lack personalization and customization. It’s a one-size-fits-all situation.

My advice? Reach out to me or your trusted travel advisor and let us put our expertise to work for you!

Planning a vacation sounds fun… until you’re three hours deep in internet research, juggling tabs, and comparing reviews. Sound familiar? That’s where I come in! Here’s why working with me makes things easier (and way more enjoyable):

✨ It’s FREE! No hidden fees or mark-ups. Even if you book on your own, my commission is already built in—so, as I like to say, “If you book on your own, you’re paying for a service you’re not receiving!” Plus, I don’t get paid until after you travel.

✨ It saves you TIME – Skip the hours of research and price comparisons. Having an expert in your corner with first hand experience of the destination really makes all the difference! I’ll handle all the planning, so you can focus on getting excited about the trip!

✨ It’s CONVENIENT – From detailed itineraries to tips on excursions and dining, I make sure your trip is seamless and stress-free.

✨ You get SUPPORT – If anything goes sideways while you’re traveling, I’m just a message away. My relationships with vendors mean that issues get fixed quickly without you lifting a finger.

And on top of that, you may get exclusive perks—like resort credits, onboard credits and room upgrades!
I monitor prices too, so if a better deal comes up, it’s yours.

Nothing makes me happier than helping you create amazing travel memories. Thank you for supporting my dream while I help make yours come true! 🌎✨

Winter’s coming 🥶 and there’s no better time to start planning a warm-weather escape! I visited Atelier Playa Mujeres last summer and let me tell you… it’s AMAZING!

One of my favorite spots while I was there was the Nuup Spa. The treatments were amazing, and the whole place was so peaceful — I felt completely recharged. If you need to forget about winter for a while, that’s the place to do it.

And if you’re into more than just spa days, you’ll love the infinity pool (it’s huge!), the 8 delicious restaurants, 7 bars, and even a golf course designed by Greg Norman for those who want to stay active. ⛳️ It’s adults-only, so it’s the perfect mix of fun and relaxation.

Honestly, there’s no better way to beat the winter blues than lounging here. ✨

Head to my stories to see more of this gorgeous resort! If you’re ready to plan your own escape, feel free to reach out and I’ll help make it happen. Can’t wait to share more!

If you’re already counting down the days until you can escape the cold, Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa might be just what we all need! 🌴✨ Opening early 2025, this adults-only resort will be set along the beautiful Choc Bay, with 355 luxury suites offering gorgeous ocean or tropical views.

The resort will have two pools, a world-class spa (because we’ll all need some serious relaxation by then), and 9 dining spots—everything from seafood and Italian to a café serving crepes. 🍽️ Sounds like a pretty great way to trade in winter coats for swimsuits, right?

I’ll keep you posted as more details emerge, but for now, this sneak peek already has me dreaming of warm beach days ahead.

Thinking about ditching the cold too? Let’s start planning your winter escape! ❄️

I’ve been reflecting on why cruising has become one of my favorite ways to travel, and it comes down to so many reasons! There’s just something so special about being out at sea, exploring new places, and enjoying the ship life ✨

• Ease of experiencing multiple destinations! Unpack once and enjoy!

• With the evolution of cruise ships, the ship itself is a destination! From the small luxury ocean liners to the larger-than-life mega ships, there are so many choices!

• A cruise vacation offers something for everyone! Relax by the pool or at the spa, enjoy a special dining experience, be entertained by live stage shows, enjoy family activities together, or take advantage of the onboard kids club!

• Excursions are a fun way to experience a destination and one of the things I look forward to the most when cruising. Lately, I find myself looking for more cultural, historic, and unique tours or something that involves food!

Whether I’m cruising solo or with friends and family, it’s sure to be a great time! 💖

Ready to set sail on your next adventure? Not sure what type of cruise or which cruise line is right for you? Let me help you find the perfect cruise vacation!
