Elevated travel made easier!
Do Yourself and the World a World of Good Traveling Socially on More Responsible Ships & Trips
Without the Panic of Worrying "But What If...: Before Travel
Without the Frustration of Yelling "Give Me a Person..." at a 1-800 Number During Travel
Without the Disappointment of Answering "It Was Just Okay..." When Asked How Your Trip Was After Travel
You deserve the care, attention, advocacy, personalization, expertise and support that you just can't get at those 1-800 numbers...
"Why go to a machine when you could go to a human being?” ― Ray Bradbury
Ready to travel someplace wonderful but not feeling so wonderful yourself?
That's perfectly normal.
More than 90% of Americans feel stressed when it comes to traveling.
But you don't have to feel that way anymore.
Because here, my clients get my CAPES...
The C is for CARE & CONVENIENCE
You're treated as a valued client. You have the convenience of contacting me how YOU prefer - text, call, email, messenger, etc. and I'm available 24/7 to you when you're traveling (and during business hours otherwise).
The A is for ACCESS & ADVOCACY
You're not limited to only certain lines or just what a search engine pulls up. I'm an independent agent of one of the most influential agencies in the industry. I've got connections and recourse the bots and call centers could never have.
The P is for PERSONALIZATION
The words cruise and tours have "u" in the middle of them for a reason. You matter. And your preferences, tastes and interests matter. You don't have to settle for just what a corporate site wants you to have! And yes, I still thank you for your business as all companies used to.
The E is for EASE & EXPERTISE
There's no need to make things hard on yourself. "Some are always going to use the box" referring to those who use the box of color from the drugstore rather than going to a salon. But results are always more beautiful and less messy when an expert's involved, just like with your travels!
The S is for SUPPORT
Now we're at the biggest difference. Once you've booked, most of your other booking options are done with you. My job's just begining because you're going to have questions, you're going to be hit with travel anxiety a week or so before travel, and you may run into a snafu or two during travel. I'm there for you through all of it!

I connect the curious to each other and the world on the higher quality and more inclusive ships & tours that are full of discovery, deliciousness and delights.
It was my daughter's Make-A-Wish trip showed me how much more relaxed and secure I felt, working with a travel professional rather than just DIYing and hoping for the best, and since 2016, it's been my mission to bring that same peace of mind to my guests.
As your travel agent, I'm really...

your CONCIERGE - providing tips and perks while handling the logistics of your travels for you, and even
-
your TRAVEL COACH-because we partner from planing all the way to your return home. I'm there for you - providing support, advice & anxiety reduction, answering all your questions and advocating for you if it becomes necessary.

" And I'm like yeah – it's called a travel agent. Just call one up! I think the idea of having someone on your side who is an advocate for you, who cares about you, who understands what makes you, you, and what type of travel you want to have is just absolutely invaluable.?" - Samantha Brown
How It Works Step- By Step
Matchmaking
First you contact me. We'll set up a Zoom or call so we can talk about your preferences, interests, likes, dislikes, dreams, desires and more. (This is a key difference in working with me vs. just choosing something that's offered to everyone or trying to crowdsource the suitability of something for you). Then I'll send you an email so you can enter your traveling party's names, DOB's, passport information, etc. so I can hold space and accurately quote what I find. This is the matchmaking part...
Concierging
I become a concierge, finding just what you're looking for and when I do, we'll "meet" again - by zoom, call, email or text and we'll work together to tweak the pieces and parts so you're happy. Then we'll get you booked. (I'll send an email from my system for you to authorize your deposit payment (I never have any of your money - I just call your payment into the line so you don't have to be the one on hold), and sign off on having read and accepted both my and the line's terms and conditions. )
Supporting
I'm at your disposal, sort of like a coach now, answering questions, providing information, and being available to confer on or discuss anything you'd like during business hours (it's been shown that travel anxiety peaks about a week out from departure - it often helps to go over the itinerary again to give you back some peace of mind when you start worrying and questioning everything about then!).
Enjoying
Unlike your other booking options, I'm still here, caring and helping you out if needed, with anything in my power to help with (with today's chaotic air travel situation, it's best if you are a direct customer of any airlines involved). I'm available 24/7 while you're traveling, and unlike the 800 numbers, I love hearing all about your amazing experiences!
