FIRST TRIP OFFICIALLY BOOKED as a new travel agent!!!! And the beautiful city of Chicago it is!! (I know I said I was working on my first booking to Charleston, but it’s not officially confirmed yet lol.) There is sooooooo much to see and do in Chicago. One of my favorite memories and places was when we stayed in the trendy Wicker Park neighborhood and went to Sheridan Shore Yacht Club and spent the day in Wilmette Harbor, Lake Michigan sailing with friends. Wicker Park has amazing restaurants, bars, and architecture. A few places I can recommend are Kanela Breakfast Club, for, obviously, breakfast, Paradise Park Pizza & Patio, and the rooftop bar at Whiskey Business. That’s just the beginning! I could spend all day recommending Chicago, so if you’re interested in visiting, please reach out to me or check out my page at Thru Your Eyes Travel!

Working on my 1st booking and it's an easy one for me because I lived there.....the timeless and charming Charleston, SC! So many things to do and see here, however, one of my favorite things to do was to just find the tiny cobblestone streets downtown around dusk and find what I liked to call "the secret gardens". Visiting Charleston, you typically like to see the tourist sights, but take a night and enjoy a walk downtown on the more obscure streets and you'll find some lovely scenery.

However, don't get me wrong, you can't miss out on all it has to offer such as:
💟The beaches- Isle of Palms, Folly Beach, Sullivan's Island, Kiawah Island, and Town of Seabrook
💟Historical sites (no way I can list them all so here's some popular ones)- Drayton Hall, Magnolia Plantation, Boone Hall Plantation, Fort Sumter, Fort Moultrie, etc.
💟Shopping- King Street!, Charleston City Market, Freshfields Village
💟World class restaurants, Cypress Gardens, Horse Drawn Carriage Tours, Ghost Tours, Patriot's Point, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Ravenel Bridge, and MUCH, MUCH, MORE!

Thank you SO much for visiting my page and new business. I am so grateful for this opportunity to serve you!

I am a virtual travel agent who lives to travel (yay!) and my goal is to assist you in building your travel experience through your eyes and to help make the world your playground. It doesn't matter big or small, pleasure or business, solo or group, land, sea, or air....I'm to here to assist with it all.

I have a degree in Hospitality Management and had worked in the airline industry for 17 years. I have traveled to 15 countries and hundreds of cities within 33 of the 50 U.S. states. I made it a priority to learn the nuances of travel and understand the ins and outs of what people experience when they travel. More so, I soaked in the people, cultures, foods, sights, landscapes, and personality of destinations.

It was when I started traveling that I started to understand and accept people and cultures that were different than me. It made me aware of hidden biases I didn't realize I had and helped me to break those down. I saw that there were different ways of life outside of the United States and that just because they were different, neither way was the "right way" to live.....they were just "different" ways to live. I became accepting of that. Seeing people living in the most impoverished environments ended up being some of the happiest people I've come to meet (and some of the most grateful). I began to grow as a person, become more empathetic, open-minded, caring, and wise. My heart became open to loving all as who they are. I am now a better person because of it.

My ultimate mission in this company is to help you, too, grow as a human by way of this gift we call travel. To take in our differences and appreciate them as much as I have. To experience as many places as you can. I will continue to constantly work on educating and learning more about our world to share with you, but hope that, as part of this adventure, you'll be willing to share how YOU made the world your playground thru your eyes. ✌️❤️✈️🌎
