Earlier this week I met with Desiree for coffee and she was talking about her upcoming Disney vacation. Well folks, it's been 30 years since I've been to Disney and a LOT has changed. Here are 3 things I learned:

1. You can pay to have a babysitter while you're there! How cool is that? The adults on her trip will have a special nanny dedicated to their children one day while they explore Epcot! Nannie's are fully vetted (many of them with college degrees) and can be a partner helping at the park or take your kids for park time while you have an adult date.

2. Did I mention, when they're exploring Epcot, they are going to be "drinking around the world" which essentially is where you're able to taste all the different drinks offered in other countries.

3. A million other things which is why I HIGHLY recommend using an expert in Disney travel if you're considering vacationing there. Every time I meet with her, I learn about little tips and tricks that can really help your vacation run smoothly.

It’s about to be a new year!

Wondering where the time went and why you didn’t travel as much as you wanted?

There’s no time like the present to make that travel wish list you’ve been building for years a priority.

I already have clients booked for a 14-night stay in Hawaii, an anniversary trip in one of those over-the-water-bungalows, a surprise honeymoon at one of the top resorts in Mexico and some very special destination weddings ❤✨

And that’s just to name a few.

The world is big, and the travel options are abundant, and my job as an advisor is to, well, advise.

I help you know your options and help you cut through all the research and planning straight to your dream trips.

Let’s book a call to chat about whether that swim up butler room facing the ocean while your breakfast floats over can finally happen!

The secret to a more relaxed, budget-friendly getaway👇

Shoulder season = the sweet spot between peak and off-season. Think of it like calm before or after the storm, when you can avoid the huge crowds but still enjoy perfect weather, better deals, and way less stress. 🙌

Here’s why I’m all about it:

✅ Space to breathe — No more elbowing your way through packed tourist spots. More room to explore at your own pace.

✅ Your wallet will thank you — Skip those wild peak-season prices but still enjoy the weather you came for. (Yes, please!)

✅ True local vibes — With fewer tourists around, you get a more authentic feel of the place.

If you’ve got a trip in mind for 2025 and you’re looking for some shoulder season inspo or need help booking, I’m here for you.

DM me anytime!

So many travel questions and not nearly enough time in the day scour Google to answer them all — am I right or am I right? 👇
❓Which hotel or resort rooms get the best light in the morning?

❓And what about the junior suite? Is it actually a decent size, or is it worth the upgrade to a full suite?

❓And what about the renovations? Have all of the rooms in the hotel been updated, or are some still dated and old?

❓Does the balcony of your room overlook the noisy pool, or is it tucked away in a quiet part of the resort?

These are all questions you may be asking yourself about the resort/hotel you’re considering for your trip to the Caribbean and the answers will be tricky to find in a Google search.

But you will find those answers with me, a trusted travel expert who makes it a point to know the hotels and resorts I recommend like the back of my hand.

These types of things can totally make or break a travel experience! So when you’re ready to have a travel expert in your corner looking out for your travel plans, call me!

This is my family, this is my "why". They are the fuel that generates Heart of the Caribbean. I'm well aware that you can book a trip anywhere with anyone. We all know the internet can do amazing things. But my goal is to bring the *heart* to your vacation when you work with me.

Today, I'm more passionate than ever. When you mention vacationing in the Caribbean or Mexico, I practically jump off my feet and forget all about my lack of caffeine intake because it FUELS MY SOUL. And, in return, it helps to provide for my family. It helps put food on our table. Helps us be able to afford Christmas presents for our boys. Put gas in our car so that we can take them to football practice. It allows me to live out the American dream of entrepreneurship.

The next time you are dreaming of a beach vacation, think of me (and also, send me a message)! I'm here to help you. It's a mutually beneficial relationship and I am JAZZED to work with you. Thank you for supporting small & local this season. I see you and I appreciate you!

P.S. I also have another son but it is impossible to get a photo of all of us together so unfortunately Eddie is left out of this post 🥲😅😬
