My name is Patricia Mickus and I am a Co-Owner and Travel Consultant with Simple Luxuries Travel specializing in European and Caribbean vacations. Throughout the years I have travelled to 24 countries and more than 100 different cities. With 12+ years of experience I want to transform your travel dreams into reality. I am passionate about travel. I am able to share my honest opinions about the destinations and the travel suppliers I recommend because of the years of experience visiting these destinations.
Are you looking for a new view, a chance to visit a far off place, warmer (or cooler) temperatures or want to explore new cultures? Travelling outside the United States can offer many rewards but exploring the possibilities can be overwhelming. Imagine the opportunity to enjoy all of what you love about travel and vacation in a new part of the world without the stress of planning this adventure from scratch.
As you can see, I am passionate about travel. I LOVE planning vacations. I am so grateful that I get to wake up every morning and help my clients. I genuinely enjoy lending my expertise to help you sort through the myriad of options and make the right decision for your travel dreams, interests, and expectations. I have spent the last 13 years connecting hundreds of clients to their perfect match, and I can not wait to help you with yours.

2019 Cousins Crew Trip
My most recent trip to Jamaica was planned last year. She assisted in providing varying room options (we ended up with an oceanfront suite). Patricia provided us with airport options and even suggest a VIP service which made the airport experience wonderful and uneventful. The Beaches Ocho Rios resort was amazing! Ultimately her efforts made this 2019 girls trip smooth from start to finish! I have and will continue to refer her to my family and friends. Best travel agent!
