Disney, Caribbean, Cruise, & Honeymoon Specialist
Italy is a wonderful family trip! I love Rome!
I have been in the travel industry for sixteen years and I love helping others make magical memories! I began my travel experience specializing in Disney travel. These vacations were so special to my family and I wanted others to have wonderful experiences too. I love to help my clients with all aspects of their vacations, including restaurants, rides, resorts, and all the extras that make a Disney vacation Magical. I'm a Disney College of Knowledge graduate and a Universal Studios Specialist. I have extensive knowledge about Universal Studios and the resorts that are included on their property. There are many options if you are looking at Orlando and I can help you with them all!
Another of my specialties is cruises. I can plan any type of cruise. Some of my favorites are Disney, Royal Caribbean, Princess, and River Cruises but I can help you plan any cruise line you would like.
My new favorite vacation as my children are getting older is all-inclusive resorts and European vacations. All inclusive resorts offer a level of service and relaxation that today's busy world craves. There are so many types of all inclusive resort available and I will find the right one for your family. If you are looking for a romantic honeymoon, anniversary, group trip, or family vacation I can help you find the perfect resort. I also love traveling to places around the world. Europe is a wonderful trip for families, groups, and couples. If you want to take a European vacation I can definitely make your trip memorable.
I love to travel and that is what makes me such a wonderful travel agent! I want to help you create unforgettable experiences with your family and friends as you travel around the world. I have been planning trips and helping families make lasting memories for over a decade. We have such a limited amount of time with our families that we need to make every minute count. I can help you have a wonderful experience and I will plan your trip from start to finish so all you need to do is pack and enjoy! No matter where you want to go, together, we can make it happen!

Punta Cana
I love going somewhere warm when the temperatures are low at home. This year we traveled to Punta Cana in February with some friends to experience some warm weather, good food, and to just relax. I also took some time to explore some resorts on both sides of the island to see the differences. ... Read more from my Punta Cana story.

Too Many Great Experiences
Reviewed By Lizzie H. - Charlotte, NC | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
I have been working with Tessa since 2015 when she planned a trip for our family of 6 to Barcelona and a Disney Mediterranean Cruise. Since then, she has planned many other trips for us including more Disney Cruises, the Bahamas, Italy, Greece, Grand Cayman, and Turks and Caicos. She listens to what we want and works her magic to create the perfect experience for the entire family. Our needs and wants as a family have changed as the kids have gotten older and Tessa is able to pivot and find unique experiences for us all to enjoy. Whether it is an excursion, a dinner, an accommodation, or a show, Tessa finds the best at the best price. When my kids hear me talking to Tessa, they get excited because they know a vacation is right around the corner. Tessa is always a phone call or a text away while we are traveling to help out if we are ever in need of anything. The itinerary app with travel docs, excursion docs, transfer and hotel docs have been very helpful.

Amazing Honeymoon!
Reviewed By Kaley and Adam Lawing - Bakersville | Traveled to Mexico
My husband and I booked our honeymoon to Mexico with Tessa. From the first meeting she made us feel comfortable and taken care of. She is one of the most professional people I have ever met. She takes time to listen to what you are looking for in a trip and doesn't make you feel pressured to do one thing or the other. Whatever you want to do she is there to make it happen. In the weeks leading up to our honeymoon she helped answer all our many questions and gave us a full itinerary for our trip. To say that was helpful is an understatement! When we arrived we already had dinner reservations and park reservations done for the entire week. I didn't have to lift a finger and that was so refreshing. She really made us feel like we were the only client she was working with due to her attention to detail and the hours she spent helping us get our trip together. I would never book another trip by myself or with another travel agent. We have already began to plan our 1 year anniversary trip!

Best Trip ever
Reviewed By Ty - Maryland | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Tessa made booking my Vacation soo easy. I am not experienced when it comes to traveling and it’s always given me anxiety to plan and execute a vacation and get it right lol. And this particular trip meant a lot to me as it was my 15th anniversary. With 3 weeks left to the date we wanted to leave Tessa was able to find a great resort in Mexico for a great price. She was available by phone at any time and even while I was away she answered the phone for me/ called back right away. It opened my eyes to traveling, eased my anxiety, and made me realize what I had been missing and now i can’t wait to take more trips with my family. I am definitely going to be coming to her for all future vacations and I’ve even started planning for next year. I can’t thank her enough!
