I have been planning travel for over 30 years, so it made sense to finally start my own Travel Planning Business once my only child started to grow older.
I am dedicated to assisting you with every step of your vacation planning process, whether it be helping you decide on a destination, choosing the best resort or sailing for your needs, or recommending the right activities, restaurants or excursions on your trip. My experience, commitment, thorough researching and attention to detail means that you have someone who has the knowledge to help, someone who is making sure that all the boxes are checked, and someone you can count on to step in when things need to be taken care of.
In me, you have an advocate and assistant in your corner, ensuring that you are prepared for travel, that we have done all we can to help your family make unforgettable memories, and that a lot of the stress of the planning process is taken off your shoulders.
When you engage me to design your vacation, you have someone who not only has an encyclopediatric knowledge of many destinations around the world, but the taste and style to curate a truly unique and special vacation for you.
I care about your family’s vacation and strive to provide a level of service that goes even more than above and beyond. You can head off to your holiday confident that I have offered you the best options, made you privy to the latest bits of insider knowledge, and will continue to fine-tune behind the scenes details to enhance your vacation in any way possible.
Simply put, when you book travel with me, you will be well taken care of. My clients become my friends and eventually, we become like family. Allow me the pleasure of planning your next vacation and see what a difference my white glove service can make.
I Go So You Know
Nobody loves an armchair quarterback or backseat driver. When it comes to planning vacations, work with someone who has been to where you want to go! I make it priority to visit my top destinations personally and, on each visit, very intentionally cultivating relationships with the teams at various resorts and hotels, so that when YOU go there, I know we have someone onsite who will look out for you, who will partner with me as your advocate, and that the property has been vetted by me. Book with confidence, book with expertise, book with full service. A vacation is not a DIY project. Your investment should reap a bountiful return.

Celebrity Cruise Line
I recently had the chance to sail the newly named Celebrity Ascent and was completely blown away by the updated and elevated feel of the product. The Ascent is the fourth of five (thus far) Edge class ships, where Celebrity has turned their luxury product on its head.

Banyan Tree Mayakoba
Set within the gated community of Mayakoba, a little north of Playa del Carmen, the Banyan Tree is in good company with the Rosewood, Andaz and Fairmont as its neighbors. There is even a boat that can take you on a canal tour that goes by those other properties.

A Magical Trip We'll Always Remember
Amy spent the time to understand our family’s preferences and guided us to book the right accommodations, dining and activities for our trip. There were times during the planning process, where our family was slow to make decisions. Amy was patient with us as we thought through some options. She provided insights and expertise to ensure we would be happy with our choices.
She understands those items, especially for first time Disney travelers that can be overwhelming. Her strategies are effective both in in advance of arrival and when at Disney. As first time Disney travelers, we would have been lost with out her. I highly recommend Amy and look forward to working with her again.
Thank you so much for allowing me to part of your travel planning. I look forward to working with you again on your future travel, where ever your adventures may take you!
