Travel Agent / Advisor ~Easy Extraordinary Escapes

Planning meaningful travel is not for everyone. I help time-starved & info-overloaded people do just that, by custom crafting vacations to meet their needs & fulfill their wishes. Whether a quick getaway, an epic adventure or anything in between, I can help get the most out of your vacation resources. I am dedicated to continuous education on destinations and travel partners, through training and first-hand experience.  It is essential to stay current on an ever changing landscape, in order to provide something unique to every individual...one-size does not fit all in the travel realm. As a full service travel advisor I am able to book any kind of travel to any destination, but there are certain areas where I excel: travel styles like large or multi-generation families, groups, honeymoons/romance travel, active adventure, and luxury as well as places like Hawaii, the Galapagos, Mexico, the Caribbean and East African Safaris are my areas of expertise. It's time to plan your next escape.

My Travel Specialties

Family Expert (including multi-gen & groups)

Becky (the stingray) was so sweet to play with us.
As a mother of 4 teenagers, I know the challenges that come with taking the tribe anywhere.  We can hardly go to the mall, let alone on vacation, without some kind of drama.  Loads of gear, sleeping arrangements, accommodations large enough to ...

Active Adventure Travel Expert

Kayaking in Hawaii.
Active Adventure is not synonymous with "adrenaline" events.  I have no experience with the dangerous and death defying. OK, well then what IS an active or adventurous vacation?  It is pretty much any vacation where you do more than shop and relax on ... Read more from my Active Adventure Travel Expert bio.

Luxury Travel Expert

Overwater bungalows in Moorea
Exemplary personal or butler service, exquisite wine and cuisine, and exceptional accommodations are just some of the expectations of a luxury traveler.  In addition, those travelers have typically already “done it all” and are looking for unique experiences and exotic locations. As ... Read more from my Luxury Travel Expert bio.

A room with a view.
Travel should be meaningful.  Maybe it’s reconnecting with your love, or your family, or old friends or yourself.  Maybe it’s a new beginning.  Maybe it’s realizing how much you have in common with people and places you didn’t even know existed.  ...

Safari Expert - East Africa

Hot Air Balloon over the Serengeti; hippos
There are places and experiences in this world that seem so far out of reach, we sometimes forget to dream of them.  We add them to our bucket lists and plant them in the back of our mind, with a hopeful ... Read more from my Safari Expert - East Africa bio.

The Perfect Honeymoon

Reviewed By Nick & Kelly - Apple Valley, MN | Traveled to Great Exuma ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Erin was a pleasure to work with and made creating our perfect honeymoon simple and straight forward. We found Erin online and heard from her within a few hours after submitting our initial request. We were able to quickly set up a phone conversation to discussed the destinations and activities we were interested in for our honeymoon. Within 2 weeks Erin was able to provide us with multiple options for each destination at multiple price points within our budget. She was extremely knowledgeable about the booking process and was easy to work with once we decided to book. We were provided with a comprehensive travel packet before our trip and she was quick to follow up with us asking for suggestions once we returned from our trip. The hardest part of the entire process was deciding on which honeymoon package to choose.

Thank you for your kind words. It was my pleasure to work with you and I hope to do it again some day.

Complex trip made easy!!

Reviewed By Lara - Cook, Minnesota | Traveled to Peru ~ South America
Erin is a travel agent Rock Star! Perfectly choreographed transportation, hotels, tours and guides! She made it all effortless, so that we could focus on the experience, engage the journey, and enjoy on the moment. From accommodations and tour tickets, to where our luggage would be at what time, all the information was at our fingertips. Erin was also accessible during the trip, a continent away, if there were questions or confusions - which there were little. She rocked it!!

Erin was wonderful in assisting us with our trip to Yosemite National Park! Very responsive and worked so hard to find us openings and information on activities despite covid and winter closings making it a bit difficult! She also tailored the trip to us and our likes. She went the extra mile and included information on additional activities and dining options near us which was so amazing! She saved us so much time and money and stress! We would recommend her to anyone for their travel needs!

Couldn't ask for a better travel agent

Erin has been fantastic to work with. She helped us plan a cruise this past winter (me, the husband, and two teens) and we had the greatest time. Erin was phenomenal at making sure us first time cruisers knew what to expect and how to maximize our trip. I worked with her again in the spring to plan a girls trip for nine to the Cancun area. She found us a great all-inclusive and we all can't wait to go back! Erin is thoughtful, creative, and flexible - You couldn't ask for a better travel agent.

Family Vacation to Universal Orlando

Erin planned our vacation to Universal and Islands of Adventure in Orlando like a BOSS. Every detail was crystal clear. Her precision and knowledge of our destination allowed our family to focus on the fun, not the day-to-day organization. The icing on the cake - we had a super small issue with a shuttle service. Guess who got right on that and got us a refund? Erin, of course! I highly recommend Erin Escapes to anyone, anytime. Her skill set is perfectly suited for this work.
