Big life update ✨ New office hours

I’m stepping into a new full time position, but I’m still here and so excited to keep planning your trips filled with curiosity and joy.

My office hours are now Monday through Friday from 4 PM to 8 PM and Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM. This is when I’ll be available for calls, applying payments, and the deeper research that makes your trip feel seamless.

I’m still available by text and email outside of those hours, just with a slower response time. Thank you in advance for your patience as I settle into this new rhythm.

This business means so much to me. I still have big goals, big dreams, and a deep love for helping you plan trips that feel meaningful, seamless, and full of curiosity and joy.

If you’re starting to think about your next trip, I’d love to be the one you trust to bring it to life.

There’s something really special about helping someone celebrate a milestone birthday… especially when it involves coordinating a whole group of friends and family.

This one meant a lot to me.

From the very beginning, my goal was simple. Take the pressure off. Handle the details. Be the point person so my client didn’t have to juggle questions, logistics, or decisions coming from every direction. She got to show up, celebrate, and actually enjoy the experience she had been looking forward to.

And hearing that it felt that way on her end? That’s everything.

Travel Advisor Appreciation Month feels like the perfect time to share this, because this is exactly why I do what I do. Not just booking trips, but creating space for people to be present in the moments that matter most.

If you’ve got something worth celebrating, I’d love to help you make it feel just as effortless ✨

One of the easiest ways to make a trip happen?

Start paying for it before you’re ready to book.

Even small amounts add up — and suddenly it’s less “can we afford this?” and more “how do we want to do this?”

Less stress. More flexibility. Way more doable.

Set up a simple “trip” savings bucket + automatic transfers… and you’re already on your way.

If you want help mapping it out, tell me where you want to go + when — I’ll help you break it into a realistic plan.

Out of office and heading to Punta Cana 🌴

I’ll be there April 19 to 24 visiting a resort for an upcoming destination wedding, with a little time to enjoy the destination as well. My responses will be slower than usual during this time.

I’ll remain available for clients with urgent matters. All other messages will be answered when I return. I’m excited to share what I discover while I’m there 💛

If you’re overwhelmed by options, start here:

Pick 3 must-haves — the things that make you say, “okay, this is the one.”

Think:
• Dates (or flexibility)
• Budget comfort zone
• Vibe (quiet, adults-only, adventure, etc.)
• Location (walkable, beachfront, close to everything)
• Room type or inclusions
• Flight preferences

Then pick one thing you’re flexible on. That’s usually where the best options open up.

This is exactly how I narrow things down when I’m planning — so you’re not just choosing what’s popular, you’re choosing what actually fits.

Want to try it? Drop your 3 must-haves below (or send them my way), and I’ll tell you what kind of trip matches that list.

You know those seasons where life just feels… full?

Between work, family, schedules, and everything else, planning a trip can easily turn into one more thing on the list.

This message came through after I helped a client plan their spring break getaway to Boothbay Harbor, Maine and it stuck with me:

“𝙈𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙤 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝙖 𝙬𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨. 𝙄 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪!”

That’s exactly why I do this. Not just to plan trips, but to give you back your time and make the whole process feel easy again.

If travel has been sitting on your “I’ll figure it out later” list, consider this your sign. I’ve got you.

Where are you dreaming about going next?

I didn’t always think to check for smaller, local holidays when planning a trip.

That changed after Bali.

We arrived right before Nyepi — the Day of Silence — not fully realizing what it meant. The day before was full of parades and energy, and then suddenly everything stopped.

Airports shut down (my sister’s flight was affected), no leaving the hotel, no lights at night. The entire island goes quiet for a full day of reflection.

It ended up being a really meaningful experience… but also something we would have planned around differently if we had known ahead of time.

And it stuck with me.

Now, when I’m planning trips for my clients, I’m not just looking at major holidays — I’m paying attention to the smaller, local ones that can completely shape a trip.

Because those details matter more than people realize.

Has anything unexpected ever impacted your trip — in a good or challenging way? 👇

I think a lot of people hear “Atlantis” and picture… a waterpark.

And yes—there’s a 141-acre one with slides, rapids, and a mile-long river that’s honestly next level.

But then you start to see everything else…

Marine habitats with 50,000+ sea animals
Five miles of beaches and multiple pools
Swim with dolphins, golf, spa days, a massive casino
Even quiet, adults-only spaces when you want a slower pace

It’s one of those places that surprises people—because it’s not just one type of trip.

It’s a “you can make this exactly what you want” kind of destination.

Curious—what part surprised you most? 👇

Here’s a simple travel hack: Stack your PTO around weekends (and a holiday if you can).

Use a few days midweek… and let the calendar do the rest.

• More travel days, without using more PTO.
• Easier flights.
• And a trip that feels longer than it is.

If you want help finding the best dates to stretch your PTO, tell me when you’re thinking — I’ll map it out for you.

Getting a tax refund this year?

This might be your sign to turn it into a trip you’ll actually remember.

You can be responsible… and still book the vacation. 😉

1️⃣ Start with your vibe: Relaxing, adventure, family time, romantic getaway.
2️⃣ Pick a timeframe.
3️⃣ Figure out what matters most (budget, easy flights, adults-only, all-inclusive, etc.).

That’s it. That’s the start.

If you’ve been thinking about a trip, let’s make it real.
Comment your vibe or send me a message — I’ll help you figure out where to go.
