Disney Halloween Cruise to Bermuda with Family
I started in this amazing business of travel in 1998. I enjoy traveling with my family, friends, clients who have become friends and my favorite purple suitcase. I am married to a farmer and am the mom of 3 girls.
It is because of my love for travel that I enjoy working with others. I love learning about new places because someone asks me to help plan a trip. I can help make your travel dreams come true.
I am an avid cruiser and have traveled with Norwegian Cruise Line, Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Holland America & Viking River Cruises. Cruising Alaska, the Baltic Sea, the Danube River, to Cuba and the Caribbean are in my favorites.
Anything Disney is loved by my family. We have been to Disneyland, Disney World, on Disney Cruises - my girls get excited when they hear Disney and so does the kid at heart in me.
Destinations that I have personally traveled to include the Caribbean, Mexico, Ireland, Denmark, Alaska, many US destinations and more.
Over the past 20 years I have helped clients book different vacations such as all inclusive warm weather destinations, cruises, escorted travel, family, couples only, honeymoons, babymoons, destination weddings to name a few. I'm willing to help you with any destination.
Traveling is fun because any destination is an adventure...it's all part of the unknown.

I Didn't Want To Go On A Cruise!
Reviewed By Dixie - Jamestown, ND | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
From the first moment I met Brandi, she knew I wasn't thrilled about going on a cruise! Not only did she come along on the cruise, she brought over a hundred of our fellow neighbors with her, for an unforgetable cruise. By the end of the cruise, that I didn't want to go on, I was helping to plan the next one with her. It's been a blast having her as our travel agent as she makes everything so easy when we travel.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

The best travel advisor
Reviewed By Jody - Jamestown N.D. | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
We have been clients of Brandi’s for years. She knows what we look for when traveling and always finds the best best locations and prices available for us. Brandi keeps track of payment due dates and lets us know in advance so there is no surprises. During COVID she had to move many trips for us and always did it willingly looking for the best deal. Starting with where to go where to stay and how to get there is all included in her service. Brandi takes the time to know her customers and is very reliable. We wouldn’t go with anyone else for our travel needs.

Thank you for your review and thank you for being so adaptive to all of the covid restriction changes over the past few years. I'm so glad you enjoy traveling enough to continue going through hoops to get to your end destination. Thank you!

Brandi is always willing to answers all questions in a very timely manner. there have been times when I would ask 3 or 4 questions through email in a day prior to a vacation and she would be right on the questions. We have had Brandi as our travel agent for years and we love to go at least once a or twice a year so count on her to have our plane and itinerary planned out which usually includes hotel accommodations along with transfers. We have never had to worry about connections as Brandi has made that process easy for us. We love to cruise and have taken many with NCL. The one with Carnival did not measure up, so we will forever be NCL fans. Our 10 day vacation to Mazatlan Mexico was probably one of the best vacations we have ever had. I would love to plan another beach stay vacation soon.

She makes sure your whole trip experience is great from start to finish, even helping resolve issues if they should arise.

Brandi gets us where we want to travel!
Reviewed By Fran - Sutton | Traveled to Mexico
Brandi is very flexible when working with us. Sometimes when we are unsure where we want to go she has the experience and knowledge to recommend somewhere new to us. She has traveled extensively herself and checks out resorts or visits with her clients when they return from vacation to get their views of motels and resorts. When changes are needed to our itineraries she has worked with us to make it all work out. We have complete confidence in Brandi and her team.
