PASSION CURATING AMAZING TRAVEL EXPERIENCES!
I have over 23 years of experience in the travel industry, a background in teaching, and a keen eye for beautiful details. Whether you’re looking for the perfect Group Celebration, a girls’ weekend, the most enticing Group Incentive Travel for your business, a multi-generation holiday, an unpack once river cruise, a Downton Abbey fan tour, an adult-only ocean voyage or an ultra-romantic Couples’ Getaway, I make everything easy so you can relax, reconnect, and get the most out of your time away. Let me help bring your vision to life! I truly believe that our journeys should be a reflection of who we are and who we aspire to be. That’s why cookie-cutter packages can feel a little empty: they’re missing all the good stuff, what matters to you most, what you’re curious about, what lights you up. When you work with me, you get someone who’s really listening, someone who can take the “little things” that are most important and create a vacation that’s uniquely tailored just for you.

Reviewed By Ry-Guy - Becker, MN | Traveled to Phoenix ~ Arizona ~ USA
Our trip was great. I had reached out to my travel agent and found he had retired. So he referred me to Rochelle. She gave me a couple options for a family vacation. We ended up driving so Rochelle was great at getting me a voucher for our airline tickets along with cancelling our rental vehicle. After we left, I found out my daughter left my iPad at the rental house. She was very helpful in helping me get this back. We plan to go on additional family vacations and plan on using Rochelle and her expertise to booking them.

Best Vacation Ever!
Reviewed By Stacy - Sioux Falls, SD | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
Rochelle was great to work with! She found us the perfect place to stay in Maui and had lots of suggestions of things to do. We originally planned for 2020 but the pandemic closed Hawaii to visitors. She was able to rebook everything for 2021 just as planned the year before. I highly recommend using Rochelle for your travel needs.
