Hiking in Austria!

Travelling is my passion; luxury experiences is my game. Ohh Mom! Travel is based in Great Falls, VA just outside of Washington, DC. While many of my clients are local to the Northern Virginia/Suburban Washington DC area, I have clients from across the US and even outside of the USA. My focus is on providing unique experiences, personalized service and inspiring luxury vacations for my clients. I am available 24 hours a day when my clients are travelling to help with missed connections, lost luggage, changed dinner reservations and any of the issues that might arise when you travel. I have an array of active clients from families planning European vacations to empty nesters looking to complete their bucket list. I help my clients plan fun and adventurous trips that allow them to understand and appreciate the culture and people of the places they visit. I work to craft luxury vacations that are filled with one of a kind experiences that will give lasting memories. 

 I am an outdoor enthusiast and avid skier. I have skied for over 45 years learning in leather boots on the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. I have skied the European Alps including resorts in Switzerland, Italy Austria and France. I have skied the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc -- staying in the charming village of Zermatt and the bustling town of Chamonix.  I have skied extensively in the US from the resorts of the West to the Northeast to the Southeast. This past winter, I returned to the Fairmont Banff Springs in the Canadian Rockies to ski Banff again – Sunshine, Norquay and Lake Louise. I have hiked the Iguazu Falls in Argentina and the Grindelwald in Switzerland.  Let me help plan your next outdoor experience! 

What is on your bucket list? Do you want to take a lap or two around the racetrack at Nurburgring or attend the French Open with a lunch and private reception? I can assist. Do you want to see the sunset in Oi, Santorini or hire a private boat to sail the Aegean Sea in Turkey? I can help. I have personally travelled to over 50 countries and islands experiencing limoncello on the hills of Ravello, Italy during the summer Music Festival and surfed the waves in Maui. I have walked the Great Wall of China and visited St. Petersburg, Russia during the White Nights when we wore sunglasses at 10pm to eat dinner. I have been lost in Venice and crawled through the CuChi tunnels of Vietnam. I want my clients to bring home treasured memories as I have from their vacations. Do you want to sail the Amalfi Coast and visit the Green Grotto in Capri, Italy on a private chartered boat (and if you are lucky and the sea is calm perhaps a trip to the famous Blue Grotto) or watch the balloons rise in Cappadocia, Turkey? Call Ohh Mom! Travel – I can give you firsthand advice. 

Are you wondering where the name Ohh Mom! Travel originated? I named my travel company after my three kids whose initials I used to name the company: Olivia, Harrison and Hunter. We started to travel with our kids when they were very young – first to Mexico, then venturing across the pond to England, then Italy (where all kids will eat the food) and then to the rest of Europe and beyond. We have great memories from my family travels – the visit to the cloistered nuns in Madrid on our Segway tour (and the nun who wouldn’t stop speaking to us through the wall because she didn’t want us to leave), staying in a true castle in Florence in which the door to the bathroom was in a wardrobe (think Chronicles of Narnia), kayaking in an old sugar cane irrigation ditch in Hawaii (and plucking my youngest out of the water when he fell in) and screaming in fear as my husband accidentally drove through the pedestrian area in Rouen so we could see where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. They are all in their 20s now and when we are together, we laugh about many of our travel escapades. I still have memories to make with them and am planning our 2021 holiday excursion. I promised my oldest son we would ski the great mountains of Europe together and we have a few more to go.

Ohh Mom! Travel Testimonial

Wow, is Oh Mom Travel great!  We called Becky to see if she could help with a last minute vacation to London and Paris.  We were on a plane just 10 days later and had the trip of a lifetime. Becky listened to our ideas and delivered the perfect vacation. Hotels were better than expected and were in ideal locations. Side trips exceeded expectations.  And every logistical detail was organized in advance to make the trip smooth and worry-free.  Oh Mom Travel is our travel agent of choice based on our perfectly planned experience!
