About Me

Curating once in a lifetime vacations for YOU!

I came into the travel industry at the absolute worst time, I love to tell people! I started in August 2019, I was learning the ropes! The new year rolls around and I have BIG plans for the year and my new career venture. By February 2020 I had realized I was not reaching those New Years goals. March of 2020 and my job was at a complete stand still except helping other agents figure out what was happening with their clients vacations... But I made it!! I have been taking a behind the scenes roll to relearn the post pause travel industry. By supporting our hardworking travel advisors with anything they might need to enhance our client's vacations. I take care of problems that clients don't even know they have. I make sure that no stone is left unturned and that all bases are covered. This ensures that our clients have a seamless and wonderful vacation experience. While doing this it has given me a great learning platform to help curate your perfect vacation!

The perfect resort for us!
Reviewed By jo.b. - Mondovi WI | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Cassy booked the Ava Cancun all-inclusive resort for us, along with flights and shuttle transportation. We had an AMAZING vacation! She took into account our teenage son and activities for him, as well as our love for delicious food choices, and the desire for a relaxing atmosphere. She was excellent at communicating with us and providing the info we needed for the trip, including the new Cancun visitor tax requirement. She made all our dinner reservations for us prior to departure which was so important because the prime times were otherwise booked. She simply makes everything so seamless, we will definitely book future travel with her!
Cassy Buck responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing time at Ava Cancun and that everything came together just the way you envisioned. It was a pleasure planning a vacation that balanced fun for your son, great food, and the relaxation you were looking for. I'm so glad the dinner reservations and travel details helped make things smooth and stress-free for you. I truly appreciate your trust and can't wait to help you plan your next getaway!"

Exceptional Travel Planning Experience with Cassy
Reviewed By MakingMemories - Medford, MN | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Planning a last-minute vacation over the Christmas holiday seemed like an impossible task. I was overwhelmed after a short attempt try to book our vacation online and nearly gave up on the idea entirely. That’s when I decided to reach out to a travel agent, and I’m so glad Cassy was the person I got to work with. From the very first email, she was prompt, professional, and incredibly understanding of my needs. She asked how I preferred to communicate and accommodated my request for email, which was a great start. Her initial suggestions were good, but I soon realized I had several questions and that discussing them in person would be more effective. We quickly arranged an in-person meeting, which proved to be an excellent decision. Cassy’s expertise guided us through the entire process to finding our vacation destination. She handled all the details seamlessly and even followed up with helpful tips for navigating the airport to our transportation pick up to get to our destination. Th
