We research, plan and book travel. I hit a wall! And I cried the entire plane ride from Los Angeles to Tahiti.
(2)

Ten years into my hospitality career - I had given everything that I had left in me, taking care of others. Taking care of my clients, taking care of my brides, and taking care of my co-workers. As much as I loved taking care of people - I realized that I wasn’t doing a good enough job of taking care of myself. Once I hit that “wall” I started planning my escape and decided it was time for me to s

ee the world. I broke all the rules, cashed out my savings and bought a one way “Round-the-World “ ticket and I took off on my birthday. What had I done? By the time I got off the plane and realized I wasn’t in America anymore - the wonderment took over and I spent the next 7 months exploring wherever I could go. I will always look back at the time I spent traveling as the best decision I ever made in life, for myself. The funny thing is that wonderment happens no matter if it’s a long weekend, or a 7 month trip. Now your moment of realization that you need a vacation doesn’t have to be as dramatic as that - but I can promise you, I will treat it with as much care as I took planning my own trip. You deserve that! Plus I still love taking care of people.

If your passport expires in 2025 - consider renewing it now.

With the holidays coming up, you’ll likely have it back quicker as this task is at the bottom of most everyone’s list during the holidays.

Also with new leadership in government in early 2025, you can avoid any potential delays with staffing transition.

I’m on my way to the Signature Travel Network conference in Vegas! I look forward to connecting and building relationships with my partners in the travel world. Learning about new destinations and experiences around the world excites me. Education is important to me - it keeps me current and feeling alive. I strive to be the best I can be so that I can help clients have rewarding and soul enriching travel!

On my way to Nepal and Bhutan, I had a forced overnight stopover in Seoul, Korea. Since I would be arriving a day early to my final destination, why not extend my stay and check out Seoul! I’m so happy that I did because it was one of my best travel days ever!

Meeting your partners in country, and having them show you the best way to see their hometown is by far the best way to experience a new to you destination. It’s like having a good friend show you around and truly enhances your overall experience.

>Wearing a traditional Hanbok took it to another level as the Koreans smiled warmly.

>Being guided on when to step away from the Royal Palace “Changing of the Guards” to avoid the crowds, or taking a shortcut through a small and very interesting museum that enhances your understanding of this beautiful culture while you get picked up on the otherside.

>Enjoying a lunch at a restaurant in a historic home and learning why the Korean food is so different than any other.

>An impromptu stop at a beautiful garden to admire all of the beautiful flowers and a visit to the Buddhist Temple during Chrysanthemum Festival because they learned you love flowers.

>Meeting “the” master brush maker for calligraphy in his shop and learning how much of an artist rockstar he is!

This is why you want a travel advisor to book your next journey. I learn so much about my travelers to ensure that I “matchmake” them with the perfect partner to ensure the best experience for them!

You must discover this amazing destination with a journey to South Korea. 🇰🇷

We love hearing from our happy clients almost as much as we love National Parks! 🌟

Here's what they had to say about their adventure in Yosemite:

The trip was fantastic!!! We packed so much in a small amount of time. It was so much fun.

The kids loved white water rafting, the horseback ride, hiking up to Vernal Falls and Glacier Point, biking across the golden gate into Sausalito was a unique twist for them. The weather was perfect both places.

Our guide for the Sequoias was tremendous! We learned so much and she was a gem in every way. She deserves special accolades.

Just scratched the surface of Yosemite, but feel like we hit all the right starting points,thanks for your recommendations!!

The accommodations for Yosemite and SFO were great...we were really sad to leave the Argonaut, our suite was first-class lovely.

Very smooth trip,start to finish. Highly recommend your services and we will definitely be back!! 😊Thank you for all your help, organization, and guidance.”

Last summer I had the privilege to see the beaches of Normandy, where so many gave so much.

As we walked into the American cemetery, a Scottish marching band played Amazing Grace. The entire day was emotional and a small way to pay tribute to the sacrifices these soldiers made.

Austinites - Pack your patience and know where to go through security at ABIA!

With Checkpoint 3 (United side) closed for renovations, TSA has been shifted for efficiency.

Checkpoint 2 East will be used for general screening.

Meanwhile, Checkpoint 2 West will be for TSA PreCheck and CLEAR for passengers with PreCheck and CLEAR or CLEAR with no PreCheck. It will also accommodate ADA screening for those with PreCheck and individuals using general screening in need of accessibility accommodations.

Happy National Tourism Day! 🌍✈️

What's your favorite vacation spot? Is it the stunning landscapes, amazing food, or the warm locals that keep you coming back? Let's think about responsible travel to preserve these experiences. Ever been to Florence and seen more Americans than Italians? It's a sign we need to change how we explore.

Consider traveling during off-peak times or visiting less-touristed places like the mountain villages of the Dolomites after Venice, or taking a leisurely drive through the Scottish countryside, ending briefly in Edinburgh. This way, we can help distribute tourism more evenly and enjoy more authentic experiences.

Join us in planning travel that's good for us and the places we visit. Ready to rethink your journey? 🌟🧳

It always makes me smile when I hear the statement - “I didn’t know that travel advisors still existed!”.
It’s my opportunity to explain how a dedicated travel advisor can elevate your trip.

We can all book travel for ourselves - but …

>Do you fly to conferences halfway around the world to meet the general managers at the hotels before you travel there?

>Do you know about the jeep ride up the mountain where you’ll have the most amazing lunch with a shepherd in one of the blue zones of the world?

>Do you enjoy the stress of not knowing if you found the best tour or trekking guide for your tour in Kathmandu or New Zealand?

>Do you have the time to research and book all of the components that go into making a stress-free and amazing trip?

Not every trip needs a travel advisor, but every amazing adventure does! Let us help you plan your next unforgettable journey!
