Traveling and vacationing are two of my main love languages! While we all love the adventure, we all know that the planning process can be super stressful!
You may find yourself asking questions like:
- Which country is going to be the best fit for my family?
- Is this All Inclusive as great as the pictures make it look?
- Are my kids too young to go to Disney?
- Do we need to rent a car?
- Which resort is going to fit my preferences best?
- Once I get there, what do I do?
These are just a few of the questions that I can help answer for you!! We will work together (as much or as little as your prefer) to make your trip a complete success! Whether you are a new traveler or a seasoned adventurer, I am happy to help plan your vacation to make it as easy and memorable as possible!
So why should you use me as your travel agent?
I don't look at your vacations as a trip you are just throwing money at. You are investing in memories and that is not something I take lightly!
Vacationing is something I am super passionate about! I promise to make your wishes for your vacation my top priority: from finding the best pricing, finding the best fit for your preferences and making sure you’re receiving the service you expect! I pride myself in offering a concierge level of service at NO extra cost to you!

Fantastic trip!
Reviewed By Gary - Hudsonville, MI | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
This was our first time using a travel agent, Audra came highly recommended to us by several of our friend and she did not disappoint she was fantasic! I can't tell you how many different scenarios of dates and destinations we had her run, I told my wife I have to be driving the travel agent nuts but nope she was as friendly and as courteous as can be and response time to the requests was awesome. We ended up going to Costa Rica for a week all inclusive and it was awesome! The resort and things to do in the area were all we hoped it would be. Definitely highly recommend Audra!

Audra has helped us with two wonderful trips this year. With all the changes in the past couple of years, I sought help to book trips this year.

Also, she responds super quickly to requests and questions. I am so thankful I was introduced to her by a friend.

The Best All Inclusive trip
Reviewed By Melanie - Hudsonville, MI | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands ~ Caribbean
This was our third time working with Audra and she's great with communicating and planning and giving tips and tricks especially for our Disney trip that we really appreciated. This past time we went to beaches Turks and Caicos and she did a fantastic job handling everything for us with the resort and making sure we had our passports and ready to go. She provided us a packing list which was so much help since it was our first international trip and flying so she really helped prepare us for everything! She's very responsive and did zoom meetings with us if we wanted to talk instead of text or email. She is definitely our lifelong travel agent and hoping to get our next trip booked soon. I love working with Audra!

Best Honeymoon ever!
Reviewed By HDELOZIER - wyoming, mi | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Audra was amazing to work with!My husband and I are not travelers... we only drive anywhere that we go. so stepping out of the country was a huge experience for us. We searched and searched for a travel agent, until a relative of mine referred audra to us. Within a minute of our phone conversation. I knew she was the one to work with. She answered her phone within 5 rings! Audra was able to send over a list of all inclusive resorts via email within 5 hours of speaking with her. My husband and I found the perfect resort in Punta Cana, and audra made it happen. We barely lifted a finger besides when it came to packing. Audra made sure we have flights booked, transportation to and from the resort, packing lists, and the best resort planned. Thank you Audra for making our honeymoon a once in a lifetime experience!

The Perfect Last Minute Trip!
Reviewed By Summers M. - Columbia, SC | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Without Audra we wouldn’t have had a spring break trip. I had the idea at the last minute possible and she could have easily said, “Oh I don’t have time to figure that out with such short notice.” But she didn’t, she immediately said she’d rearrange her day to prioritize getting quotes for us and making magic happen! She was more than helpful throughout our whole trip. I can’t imagine traveling without having Audra’s emails or all of her advice! She’s truly a gem and so phenomenal at her job!

Amazing Family Carnival Cruise trip
Reviewed By Rjtibbs - Hudsonville, MI | Traveled to Caribbean
Audra is an amazing travel agent! I got her help to book a family cruise for our family of 6, including 4 teens and young adults. Family time is precious as our kids get older and I didn’t want to screw this up! Audra thought of everything- the one hotel I booked on my own for the night before we sailed, Audra ended up finding me one for $100 less! I appreciated her attention to detail and great communication.

Reviewed By Gary - Hudsonville, MI | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
This is our second booking with Audra and there will for sure be more, we had never used a travel agent before Audra and I will tell you she makes the process seamless. She answered so many questions for us and gave us so many different options. Everything went perfect, we were extremely pleased with the transportation she arranged to and from the airport in Punta Cana, we had a private ride in a luxury SUV both ways. Also I had a question while we were down there and texted her on a Saturday night and had an answer in 10 minutes. I can not say enough good things about this young lady she is a peach!

We had worked with Audra two years ago when she helped us with our Disney vacation. Recently she helped us with our 7-day Norwegian Alaskan cruise with 3-day land tour. We appreciated Audra's help with answering question and helping with issues as they came up. She answers emails quickly and can be easily reached by phone. It was nice to have someone who could call the cruise line for us with questions and handle problems. She helped take the stress out of planning. We are hoping to take a Disney Cruise in a couple years and I will definitely be calling Audra to help!
