Agent Specializing in Family Trips
Traveling has always been a large part of my life. My parents are both immigrants so I traveled frequently to visit family in England and Mexico. As a grew older, I found more ways to travel. In college, I participated in the Disney College Program and studied abroad in Spain. After graduating college, I worked as a tour leader for Trek America taking young tourist all across the United States and Canada. Motherhood introduced me to the unique aspects of family and autism travel. Today I am a travel agent who specializes in family and milestone trips around the world.

My Travel Stories
Seattle, Washington
Our Alaskan Trip is underway! A little less than a year ago, I attended a business conference. There was a raffle and I won a cruise from Norwegian Cruise Line! There were blackout dates and certain ships that were excluded. We ultimately chose an Alaskan cruise because it was on our ... Read more from my Seattle, Washington story.
Hubbard Glacier
We woke up to a beautiful view of Hubbard Glacier from our balcony. This is a tidal glacier which is different from the glacier yesterday, but I didn’t hear enough of the announcement to tell you the difference!
We walked up two decks to deck twelve which houses the Garden Café which is ... Read more from my Hubbard Glacier story.
Embarking on Norwegian Jewel
Our hotel has taxis sitting in the parking garage ready to take people where they need to go. After checking out, we headed to the taxi line and were on our way to port to board Norwegian Jewel!
This is where things get rough, and I’m not talking about the sea conditions. ... Read more from my Embarking on Norwegian Jewel story.
Best and Easiest Cruise of Our Lives!
Reviewed By Sebastian - Southfield, MI | Traveled to Bimini Islands ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
This was my first time booking a trip with a travel agent, and Amaris made the entire process SO easy and stress free. On top of that, she was always available in a timely manner with information about our trip, as well as helpful insights and tips into the locations we were visiting along our cruise.
Easiest vacation ever!

Traveling thanks to Amaris
Reviewed By Skippy - Willowick (Cleveland), Ohio | Traveled to Arizona ~ USA
Amaris has planned two big trips for us seeing national parks. We saw many different areas, stayed at different styles of lodging, and all went off with out a hitch. She has just set up a ten day cruise to five different southern Caribbean destinations for our 50th anniversary. I think that the fact that she has traveled quite a bit, and just her work ethic , enables her to do such a thorough job. She's good at suggesting alternatives especially when getting the most for your money.Amaris is my dear daughter in law but I write this as a consumer not just a proud MIL.

Wonderful Trip!
Reviewed By Abbie - Tallmadge, OH | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
Amaris helped me plan a trip to several main cities in Spain. My daughter had been studying out there for two months in Madrid. I met her out there at the end of her finals, and we then ventured to Granada, Malaga, Sevilla, and Madrid. Amaris organized many activities in each of the cities we visited and provided all of the necessary details, down to the coordinated train tickets to vouchers for the various activities, as well as other recommendations. Amaris is organized and thorough, and we could not have possibly seen all the sites we did without her help. My daughter and I had a blast!! So many wonderful memories made!!the

Planning inspiration!

I love following on social media, because the inspiration posts are always so exciting! Simple, beautiful photos, and a great description has me always ready to plan the next vacation.A recent post of the Blue Ridge Parkway reminded me that not all trips are Disney or tropical- agents are knowledgeable about so many destinations

Bucket List Trip
Reviewed By Skip - Sagamore Hills, OH | Traveled to Mediterranean ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Amaris did a great job planning this trip for us. She made a bucket list trip so enjoyable and worry free by having all the details laid out for us. We know when and where we were supposed to be somewhere and who we were suppose to meet. She also planned many of our excursions through private vendors which made them so much better. It many occasions it was just us and the guide. It was great not having to see the sights with a large group of people. Looking forward to many more trips planned by Amaris.

Off To See America!
Reviewed By Skippy Two - Willowick, Ohio | Traveled to Grand Canyon ~ Arizona ~ USA
Amaris planned two big trips for us "out west" and they went perfectly. Not one hitch. She takes her time going over details, listens to your thoughts and is very good at making other suggestions and explaining why that would be better for you.As an experienced traveler herself, that gives her the ability to suggest so many different ideas, and pit falls to avoid just traveling to your destination. She was thoughtful enough to also print out maps for our road trip for areas GPS might not come in.
