My name is Donna, and I have been in the travel industry since 2017. I started working as a travel agent to share my love for travel with others. I currently live in Jasper, Indiana. I grew up in Oregon and after high school I joined the United States Air Force. I have lived in Oregon, Texas, and Illinois before settling in Indiana.
Since becoming a travel agent, I have got to experience some amazing places that allow me share those experiences with my clients. From cruising the Baltics, Northern Sea and Alaska. Experiencing All Inclusive Resorts in Cancun, Jamaica, Aruba, Dominican Republic and Los Cabos, taking a river cruise through the Netherlands and Germany, participating in group tours in Anchorage, Alaska, Washington DC, Japan, Scotland, Ireland. Costa Rica and Thailand. Family vacations have included Disney World, Disneyland, New York City, Hawaii, Oregon, Florida, Vancouver, British Columbia, Scotland, Ireland and Rome, Italy.
I have an Associates in Business Management from Southwest Illinois College and a Certificate in Hospitality and Tourism from Florida Atlantic University. I am a Certified Cruise Counselor, Accredited Cruise Counselor and Certified Sandals Specialist. I have completed the Disney College of Knowledge and Specialist Training for Hawaii, Jamaica and several other countries in the Caribbean, Mexico, and around the world along with Tour Operator courses. Whether you’re looking for a cruise, an all Inclusive, Hawaii, US National Parks, or an escorted group anywhere in the world I am here to help you plan your dream vacation. If you can dream it, you can live it.
Testimonials
Jennifer M: We had the best time, and everyone loved our room. It was perfect for us! The view was amazing, and the location was awesome. The flight times were really nice and we lucked out by having no issues. I will also go through my pics and send a few. Thank you again! I am the person who wants to research WAY too much before doing anything, so your expertise was greatly appreciated.
Morgan: Donna was extremely helpful with planning this trip. We had to reschedule because of Covid and she made it easy to do so. She answered our questions and even set up to allow us to make payments on our trip

Reviewed By Nancy - Jasper, IN | Traveled to Yosemite National Park ~ California ~ USA
Three years ago we had to cancel a trip to Yosemite due to the fires. Decided to try again this year so I called Donna. She already had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to do on this trip - fly into San Francisco and spend a few days and then off to Yosemite and Sequoia. Donna helped arrange all that we asked her to - flights, lodging, tours, car rental and tours. We had another terrific trip planned but Mother Nature stepped in again - this time with flooding from snow melt. But Donna saw us through it this time and it was an amazing trip. Donna made herself available for questions and got the answers in a timely fashion. Donna was great to work with!

Couples trip
Reviewed By Marcia - Jasper, Indiana | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Working with Donna from start to finish was an easy, pleasant experience. We were a group of 4 couples wanting to go to someplace tropical in January. Donna found 3-4 choices for us to consider.We decided on the Jamaica Couples Tower Isle all inclusive resort. Our early AM flight out of Louisville was delayed so we were going to miss our connecting flight to Jamaica. Donna was immediately available and rebooked our connecting flight making our trip stress free.
The Couples Tower Isle was a perfect place for our group. The resort hosted many sponsored excursions that were available to sign up for. The weather was beautiful, not too hot, not too cold, awesome sunrises and sunsets. All the staff were very pleasant to work with.

Reviewed By Mary - Scappoose, IN | Traveled to Los Cabos ~ Baja California Sur ~ Mexico
This summer when our youngest graduated from high school - we knew we wanted to plan a vacation our 3 sons (ages 19, 22 and 25) would all love. I thought a cruise would have something for all of us, including the boys' aunt (my sister in law) and their 85 year old grandma who skeptically agreed to come with us along with us. I must confess, I still haven't lived down one bad hotel selection on a Grand Canyon trip 10 years ago:) I was already feeling some pressure to get this vacation right and I wasn't even sure where to start. Thank goodness we found Donna!! There is no possible way I could have managed the logistics of this without her! She found us several great options that worked in our crazy schedule and once we selected the cruise, her expertise in booking the staterooms and extras made the trip so enjoyable for all! I'm not sure where we are going next, but I look forward to working with her again!
