Machu Picchu in the Andes Mountains of Peru!
Trips, vacations, and destination experiences are all significant parts of our lives. On the way to them, during them, and on the way home, we form relationships and memories that are important to who we are.
Traveling is an important part of life that allows us to experience all there is to offer in this world. Whether you are part of a family that is looking to go on a Spring Break, summer, or holiday vacation, you are a couple planning that memorable honeymoon experience, or it is your first time traveling to a specific world-renowned destination for vacation, I want to make your experience memorable and enjoyable for you.
If you choose to use my planning services I’ll take the time to listen to every step of the way. I’ll help you think about your trip creatively and intentionally, lessen the hassle of planning, and equip you to make memories that will last a lifetime.
I like to think of myself as a family and celebration specialist. Whether your trip is celebrating time with family away from work and the craziness of life, or you are celebrating a work-related reward or other life accomplishments, I want to help you make the celebrations extra special.
As a former Disney cast member, I have a deep passion for all things related to Disney Destinations: The Walt Disney World Resort, The Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, and more! I also share a special love for the Universal Orlando Resort, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, and travel to the country of Peru!
I am an experienced traveler to many other world-renowned destinations, so if the one you were thinking of was not on this list, never fear! I look forward to listening to your travel needs and helping you enjoy your destination!

Disney World during a pandemic
Reviewed By JENNIFER - OVERLAND PARK, KS | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
John was recommended by the parents of one of my son's soccer teammates. We had never used a travel agent of any kind. John did an incredible job helping us plan a big Disney trip for our family since January. He even got up early to make Fast Pass reservations for us. When Disney was still closed when we were supposed be there, he helped us move our trip to July. He made sure we were always "in the know" about what was going on with Disney from park reservations to restaurants to having to change our accommodations since our resort wouldn't be open. He patiently answered all of my annoying questions from day 1.
I cannot begin to tell you not only how responsive and helpful he was, but also how genuinely kind and caring he is. I DEFINITELY plan to use him in the future for any trips, and hope to be able to catch up if we are ever out his way or he is out ours!
FYI: For those wondering if you should go to Disney World during this pandemic, the answer is YES!

John and Tanya are a perfect duo. John took care of all of our logistics and handled the whole trip for me. Tanya held my hand and gave me all the tips and tricks of navigating Disney with a large family. Her food suggestions were spot on and she talked me through the whole trip. I felt like I knew exactly what to expect as I hadn't been in a long time.

Dopey Challenge
Reviewed By Meg P - Gray Maine | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
John was very attentive in the beginning stages of my booking. Most of the questions I had about The Dopey Challenge I got from Facebook, so I didn't reach out to him personally about things, although he said that I could, I just found that Facebook had what I was looking for without sending and waiting for an email response. He was great though!

This was my first experience using a travel agent so I expected to pay extra fees, get pushed into something I didn’t want, etc. but that wasn’t the case at all. John was very helpful, made great recommendations, and was easy to communicate with. I asked a LOT of questions as a first time cruiser and he was able to help me with them all, even one he hadn’t been asked before at the very last minute. He also helped me with an issue while I was at sea, which was a huge help!! We will definitely use John for future vacations!

John by far exceeded my expectations. I contacted himlast minute for a Fall break trip to Universal. I wanted a resort property with reasonable air fare. John gave me several options upfront, but I was very indecisive and trying to conduct research. I missed several options, but John stayed diligent and worked late to meet my requirements and booked not only the resort I needed, but great air travel as well. I really appreciated his upfront honesty and transparency. He really took time to explain the pros and cons of not only the resorts, but also the air carriers. He stayed in communication with me the entire time to ensure our stay was the best.
