For the Love of Travel

We are fortunate to have countless destinations available for exploration and enjoyment. Additionally, we have a wide array of choices in HOW we travel to reach these places. People embark on journeys for various reasons, and I find it wonderful that regardless of your motivation or what you hope to gain from your trip, there’s an ideal way to achieve that!  Let’s clarify the "WHY" behind your travel and then discover the "HOW" to get you there

A Little About Me!
Adventure Ready!

I love to travel. It's really just that simple! I am drawn to new places, new experiences and new destinations. There are many places in the world I have not see yet - and many I maybe never will! But whether my trips are exploring close to home or require a plane ride to get me there, I love the journey and the memories made along the way. From years of researching, planning and organizing my own trips, it was a natural transition to begin my journey as a Travel Agent. Taking that experience, I am able to create, customize and plan trips for my clients, providing them with the opportunity to experience their dream trips.

Morocco!

I recently returned from an AMAZING trip to Morocco - a beautiful country with such diverse scenery and experiences. Deserts, pastures, olive groves, apple orchards, beaches and mountains! Old medina market areas with their narrow alleys and lanes filled with shops, mosques, fountains, old forts and did I mention the markets? Camel rides in the Sahara, great food and friendly people. Each city has a different vibe and offers amazing site seeing and opportunities to experience local culture. A country worth visiting!!

Happy Clients!

Recently, we planned, with the help of Mel from Travel Best Bets, a trip to the US West Coast. Mel was amazing and made the process smooth, seamless, and stress free! Once we chose our destinations of Seattle, Portland and Seaside, OR, Mel handled everything from flights, hotels, train travel and car rental. In fact, we noticed we got a better rate at the car rental because she had some insight into their business model.

Everything was on one itinerary, and we were able to print out and take with us, including detailed descriptions, directions to each hotel, car rental contract, train tickets…it was all in one spot. There were also suggestions for excursions at each stop. All the information was also included on Trip Plans App, which we used religiously.

We can’t say enough about the complete care we received going on this trip to a place we had no experience in going to. We felt that all the details were deeply thought out. Each hotel was carefully considered addressing our specific needs. We had the most amazing time!! We will be using Mel and her group for our future travel adventures!!

Fantastic package with great value. App (Trip Plans) is incredible. Flights very convenient. B&B Hotel in Rome excellent. B&B Hotel in Florence needs a renovation. Hotel Aaron had very small rooms. Location has great access to transportation. Trains excellent and timing made perfect sense for checkout and arrival at new hotels. We had a flight diversion through Paris and the flight and hotel that we arranged seamlessly were added in the app. Mel stayed in constant communication. We had an absolutely wonderful trip and are very grateful. Thank you so much!

FUN FACT: wan·der·lust /ˈ
noun a strong desire to travel.

I Love Flowers and decided to do a little research into what flowers symbolized aspects of travel. 

To wish someone wonderful adventures and excitement on their travels, send them a bouquet of Sweet Peas!

What resonated with me, was the Clematis -  not content to stay in one place. These plants are seekers with wanderlust - a perfect symbol of the desire to travel!
