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!

I recently booked a vacation for an extended family to Antigua, and this one was extra special! 🎉 They were celebrating a milestone birthday, and it makes me so happy that they had an unforgettable time together!

They stayed at Royalton Chic Antigua, which offers incredible beachfront views and rooms with swim-out access. The family also raved about their experience at Siboney Beach Club, a more intimate boutique hotel right on Dickenson Bay.

Hearing how much they loved the room and food truly warms my heart. 💕Creating these experiences for families is why I love what I do!

If you’ve got a special celebration coming up or just want some travel inspo, send me a DM! 😊

I’ve been sharing a lot of couples’ getaways recently, so I’m excited to FINALLY talk about one of my favorite recommendations for families: Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa 🏝️

This resort has so much for families looking to spend time together while still giving the kids plenty to do. There’s water slides and a lazy river, it’s like a mini paradise for them. There kids’ club is also amazing, with tons of activities to keep them busy while you get time to relax by the pool.

And if you’re traveling with a larger family, the Preferred Club 2-bedroom villa gives everyone enough room to spread but still cozy enough for everyone to feel connected.

I love that this place goes beyond just the activities — it’s the little moments, like floating down the lazy river with your kids, movie nights after a long day of adventure, or watching them make new friends at the kids club. 💖

If you’re looking for a family vacation spot where everyone feels taken care of, this is it.

Leave a comment if you’ve been to Dreams Playa Mujeres or if you’re planning a family getaway! 👇🏻

I’m really excited to share this trip I booked for my clients to Secrets Tides Punta Cana! They had the best time out on dune buggies, exploring some of the stunning landscapes around the area.✨

They even spent part of their day relaxing by the beach, even making some feathered friends 🦜💖 — such a beautiful experience!

This resort is one of my favorites for couples. Secrets Tides offers romantic oceanfront suites, private swim-out pools, and so many dining options that are SO good. There’s spots like El Patio for delicious Mexican food and Seaside Grill for fresh seafood right by the water.

It’s the perfect mix of adventure and chill time—ideal for couples who want both! 😅

Let me know if you want to learn more, and follow along for more travel inspiration!

I booked a trip for my clients to Secrets Playa Blanca Resort & Spa, and this is honestly one of my favorite places to recommend to couples! 🏝️

The beachfront views are incredible, and there’s so much to enjoy together. For dining, there’s options like Oceana for fresh seafood right by the water, Portofino for a candle lit Italian dinner, an amazing teppanyaki experience at Himitsu that’s always good to share.

The rooms are so cozy, and some even come with private pools or swim-out access, perfect for a little extra privacy.

What really makes this place special for couples is the mix of relaxation and adventure. You can spend your days kayaking, snorkeling, or even just lounging by your own private pool. And at night, they’ve got movie nights on the beach and live music under the stars. 💖

Secrets Playa Blanca really creates those unforgettable moments that bring you closer. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway, this spot is perfect.

My 2025 travel plans are already shaping up, and I’m so excited for the adventures ahead! 🤩 Starting the year with either Barbados or Jamaica (I haven’t decided yet, but how can you go wrong with either?), then in February I’ll be sailing on Utopia of the Seas with my daughter Leah and some friends! In March, it’s off to the Virgin Islands with Norwegian Cruise Line. 🌴

Of course I’m extra excited for September when we’re back on Utopia for the MMT Conference! 🎉 Summer plans are still up in the air, but I know it’ll be something amazing.

I’m sure I’ll be adding more to the list, but that’s what’s on the schedule so far! Do you have any 2025 trips lined up? I’d love to hear where you’re heading!

Italy is full of unforgettable spots, but here are three experiences that are musts if you’re planning a trip:

1️⃣ Toss a Coin in the Trevi Fountain
It’s not just about tossing a coin for good luck — the Trevi Fountain is beautiful. The whole area has this electric energy. For a more peaceful moment, try going in the early morning or later at night.

2️⃣ Visit the Colosseum
No trip to Italy is complete without a visit to the iconic Colosseum. The history here is incredible! Be sure to book a guided tour to skip the long lines and dive into the stories behind this ancient amphitheater.

3️⃣ Explore Pompeii
Walking through ancient streets of Pompeii feels like stepping into a different world. This city was frozen in time after the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, and it’s an incredible way to experience Italy’s history firsthand. Pro tip: Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds and heat!

4️⃣ Visit a Vineyard in Tuscany
You have to taste Italian wine where it all happens. Touring a vineyard in Tuscany is the perfect mix of relaxation, stunning scenery, and amazing food + wine. Fall is ideal for visiting, but really, any time in Tuscany is magical!

Swipe through for more details, and let me know if you’ve been to any of these spots! ✨

Celebrating an anniversary in Italy? Yes please. 💕 One of my favorite trips to plan so far — this couple’s journey took them through some of the best spots in Rome, Florence, Tuscany, and the Almafi Coast. They explored the Vatican, walked through the Colosseum, and even got hands on with a pasta making class in Tuscany (because when in Italy, right?)

To wrap it up, they sailed along the Amalfi coast on a catamaran — the perfect way to end an unforgettable trip. With all the amazing food, history, and culture, this one was for the books.

Planning this dream trip was such a joy. If Italy (or anywhere else) is on your list, I’m here to help you turn it into reality! ✨

Last post, I teased Disney’s newest private island… and it’s officially here! 🎉 Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point opened in June, and if you’ve been to Castaway Cay, you’ll definitely want to check this one out.

Lookout Cay is located in the Bahamas and offers everything for a perfect beach day — relax on the expansive 2,400-foot beach or dive into the crystal-clear waters. There’s also Aqua Adventure, a floating water park with obstacle courses and slides that’s fun for all ages! 🎢

Foodies, you’re in for a treat! Grab some barbecue and seafood at “Pelican’s Plunge,” or enjoy a tropical drink at “The Lighthouse Bar” with stunning ocean views.

What really sets Lookout Cay apart is its celebration of local Bahamian culture. You can discover handcrafted art from local artists, and explore scenic trails with vistas. The Arts & Culture Pavilion highlights Bahamian traditions, giving you a cultural experience that’s not as prominent at Castaway Cay.

While Castaway Cay is great for its classic beach vibes and family-friendly amenities, Lookout Cay brings a cultural twist and a wider variety of dining options. It’s definitely a must-visit on your next Disney cruise!

Curious about Lookout Cay? Send me a DM and let’s chat about planning your trip! ✨

My favorite stop on a Disney Cruise has to be Castaway Cay!!It’s the perfect place to relax, explore, and enjoy the day at your own pace. Here’s how you can spend a day at Castaway Cay:

🐠 Snorkeling Lagoon
🌊 Spring-A-Leak and Pelican Plunge water play areas
🏐 Sports Beach & In Da Shade Pavilion
🏃Castaway Cay 5K
✨ Disney Character Meet and Greets
⚓️ Scuttle Cove (kids) & Teens Hideout
🍸 Serenity Bay (adults-only beach)
🛍️ Shopping for island-exclusive souvenirs

When you dock at Castaway Cay, you’ll have a full day to explore. The ship usually arrives in the morning, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the island — and there’s a tram to shuttle you around, so getting to each spot is super easy. Everything from lunch at Cookies BBQ to beach chairs and umbrellas is included, so you can focus on enjoying yourself.

And get ready for some more Disney magic—Disney’s new private island, Lighthouse Point at Lookout Cay, recently opened in June! I’ll be sharing all the exciting details soon, so stay tuned! 🌊
