Get off the Disneyland vacation planning hamster wheel!
You’re running yourself ragged, researching, reading, and scrolling Facebook for ideas to plan that perfect magical trip.
And you‘re spinning your wheels trying to decide which hotel to book, whether you need Genie+, and overthinking what experiences are actually worth doing when you finally get there.
The next thing you know, you’ve spent WEEKS researching without committing to anything.
Here’s why you should work with me instead of going at it alone:
💡 You’ll get instant clarity because I’ll help you narrow down your choices and explain the different park ticket options.
❤️ You’ll get an honest opinion from someone who genuinely cares about you loving every minute of your vacation.
🔎 You’ll get vetted advice from a trusted source.
📞 You’ll have support every step of the way WITHOUT having to feel like just another number in a queue calling a 1-800 line.
📕 You’ll get full access to my Disneyland guide filled with tips and park information.
When you’re ready to get off the hamster wheel, send me a message or schedule a call with me to tell me more about the trip you’d like to plan. ✈️🌴❤️
An advantage of working with a Travel Advisor is having everything you need in one place.
No more digging through your inbox for that elusive confirmation email.
All of my clients get an itinerary with all of their travel information plus extras to ensure they have all of their questions answered before they have to ask them.
The wait is finally over! Toboganxote at Xplor is finally open!

You will start at 135 ft (41 m) tall on a raft for four people to enter the sphere as you move like a pendulum until reaching the exit towards the wave and getting to the tallest point before going down to the whirlpool. After spinning, you will be shoot to the 72-ft vortex, which is the largest in Latin America, and zigzag sliding until getting to the wave pool.

Want to hear something crazy?
People are having bad vacations and they don’t even know it.
The truth is, if you’re booking on Expedia or any other online travel website, you’re booking what their algorithms suggest to you.
And those algorithms know nothing about you. You get one-size-fits-all options which may be okay, but how do you know you’re not missing out on something better?
There’s a much better alternative.
Find a travel advisor who knows you and the way you like to travel.
A travel advisor who can make recommendations on the best resorts, hotels, and cruises, and line up experiences in the destinations you visit to match your preferences.
If you’ve ever had a trip in the past that was just mediocre at best, one that left you feeling disappointed, it sounds like it’s time to skip the internet and call a travel advisor instead — that’s me, by the way! My name is Sam, nice to meet you! 👋
Interested? Send me a quick message to get started.
This time of year, I can’t help but find myself wishing for more time. Anyone else?
I wish I could just wave a magic wand and have someone decorate the house and prep everything for Christmas.
Now, I may not be able to wave a magic wand and decorate your house for the Holidays or prep all your Christmas meals and baking, but I CAN help you save time in other ways.
Here's how working with me as your travel advisor can help give you some of your precious time back:
🔎 Researching trips can be a pretty daunting task. There’s just so much information out there. I cut that time down significantly by offering expert advice based on my own travels and my connections around the world.
🗺️ Now, let’s talk logistics. Putting together an actual itinerary with flights, accommodations, transfers, and all of the other details that make a vacation great also takes time! By delegating that to me, you’re reclaiming hours and hours.
💼 Ultimately, the only thing you should be doing is packing your bags.
Ready to travel with ease? Let’s chat about your 2024 travel plans.
Money-saving travel hacks I live by 💰
💸 Look for value instead of deals. Deals don’t always work out to be cheaper and can often be restrictive. (Check the fine print before you book those Black Friday deals!)
I like to look for value that prioritizes the overall travel experience — flights, hotels, experiences, all of it.
🙌 Work with a pro. Online travel websites often only give you a snapshot of what’s available. When you work with me, I’m looking to get you the best value for your budget and plan you a more personalized getaway that looks at the full picture.
⏰ Don’t always measure in money. Your time is valuable too! Let’s say your time is worth $80 per hour. The 10 hours you’ll spend planning that family getaway actually costs $800 of your time! So when you set your budget, also take into account the amount of time (and money) you’ll spend on the planning.
Travel planning without the stress and drama? Yes! It all starts by you booking a complimentary call. First, we chat about your travel needs and how I can elevate your travel plans.Then I start working on your custom itinerary created just for you and your travel style. Once you’re sure you love the trip I’ve designed for you, I get all of the details finalized, book everything and you get to count down the days. When you’re ready to get started, send me a message!
Hold it right there mama!You’ve been pondering your next family vacation…But before you sign onto Expedia or Booking.com to start booking, let me give you 4 reasons why you should hand your travel checklist to me instead:1️⃣ You’re instantly freeing up your time.

Looking for the perfect family resort in the Riviera Maya?
I got you covered!
1️⃣Hotel Xcaret
2️⃣Hard Rock Riviera Maya
3️⃣Hyatt Ziva Cancun
Which one would you choose for your family vacay?
Booking your flights with a third party seller to save a bit of money seems like a good idea…
But when things go wrong I promise you the headache won’t be worth it 🤕
Booking directly with the airline gets you better customer service, more control over your booking, the ability to access loyalty programs and more options for flight changes.
Don’t let hidden fees and little to no customer service ruin your travel plans!

3 things you should know about Hawaii, my favourite place to travel and book!
🚗 a car rental is a MUST. There is so much to see and so much to explore on the Hawaiian islands and having a car makes that a lot easier. If you really don’t want to rent a car then Oahu is the best island as they have a really great transportation system.
🏝️ Hawaii has no all inclusives. There is so many places to go and see that all inclusives are not necessary. Many accommodations have full kitchens so you can eat breakfast and pack a lunch to go.
✈️ it is so easy and inexpensive to “hop” to a different island for part of your trip. This is the best way to see multiple islands as each are different and offer different experiences.
Interested in locking in Hawaii for your next getaway? DM me or fill out the travel interest survey in my bio!
The wait is over!
I’m about to deliver an itinerary to clients headed to Mexico next month.
Whenever I work on an itinerary, my main goal is to put together a trip my clients can truly look forward to counting down to. These clients in particular were looking for an adults only resort with a great beach for their honeymoon, golf nearby, swim up and beach bar.
So that’s why I recommended Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya!
This resort checked all their must haves plus more!
I can’t wait for them to see it!
Here to help when you’re ready to enlist the help of a travel expert too!
