Travel and Curated Experiences Enthusiast
Aruba is full of blue skies and amazing beaches
I have been a travel agent since September of 2022. I have embraced the opportunities to expand my travels as well as work with a variety of clients who have entrusted me with their adult-only, family friendly, all-inclusive, and group travels.
For me, travel has been a wonderful way to celebrate the big and small occasions in life. The experiences that I curate are intended for the "budget-conscious" as well as the "spare-no-expense" traveler. I endeavor to serve each client as if I were planning every detail with the same level of care that I take to create my own.
As a travel enthusiast who was introduced to the freedom of travel much later than most, it is one of the many reasons why I love assisting travelers of all experience levels on their personal journey to explore and enjoy the world.
International Destinations that my clients and I have loved include:
- Aruba*
- Dominican Republic
- Dubai
- Jamaica
- Mexico
- South Africa
- St. Kitts and Nevis
Cruise experiences include:
- Norwegian Cruise Line
- Royal Caribbean
- Virgin Voyages*
*Personal Favorites
Recent group travel experiences:
- • A relaxing island get-a-way for a wonderful group of 37 from 5 states and 2 countries complete with transportation, al fresco dining, spa sessions, and excursion services
- An international birthday celebration for 16 enthusiastic singles and couples from across the United States who enjoyed historical tours, thrilling dining, entertainment, and cultured shopping
- Epic Caribbean cruise for an adults-only experience for 34 travelers from 6 states who had a non-stop, action packed dance, dining, and sun-drenched beach affair
I am excited to continue working with clients in a way that not only makes them happy that they chose me but also that they continue to choose me because of my creative flare, attention to detail, and ability to capture their vision.

First Time Cruisers
Sonya was professional, called me right away and we worked out the details. This trip was for my granddaughters high school graduation and her best friend. Due to their senior year activities, jobs and sports schedule, we had a very narrow window. . . ONE specific week to be exact. Sonya was able to find a trip that accommodated us and kept us on budget. Since this was my first cruise, I had loads of questions. Sonya answered them all and never made me fell like I was a bother. That was May 2023. Here we are May 2024 and I am going on a second cruise with my husband. You already know who I called. Lol #MyForeverAgent
You have been soo amazing to work with! You can call me anytime! #MyForeverClient
