Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Hi, my name is Emily Cochenour (like a Kosher pickle with a ’n’) and I grew up on a horse farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. I fell in love with the beach as a little girl and would travel to the beaches of Virginia or North Carolina almost every summer. My love for international travel didn’t start until college when I traveled to Costa Rica with two girlfriends for a dance conference. It was here that my love for travel truly began!After my college years came to a close and I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from Shenandoah University, I was able to experience several awesome cities of the U.S. I lived in New Orleans, Las Vegas & Los Angeles over a period of 4 years. During those 4 years, I was able to also travel to the Philippines & Thailand. In 2009, I reconnected with my high school sweetheart and moved back to Central VA. Jeremiah and I were married in 2012 in the Outer Banks, NC right on the beach surrounded by our friends and family with sand in their toes. We honeymooned in Mexico and had my first snorkeling adventure which I fell in love with! As a family, we have traveled to Jamaica, Domincan Republic & Walt Disney World. Jeremiah and my step-daughter Chloe traveled on a mission trip with our church to Haiti and were greatly affected by serving the kids at Mission of Hope. I am a Christian, a wife, a mom & a step-mom, a dancer, and a lover of travel!

Best trip ever!
Reviewed By Kristin - Bedford, VA | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
As we were traveling internationally with our kids for the first time, I did not want to risk not knowing what I didn't know, despite being someone who is tech-savvy and has planned travel for business. I decided to call Emily since she came highly recommended. I gave her the budget and what I wanted, and she gave me all of it under budget! I had a zillion questions and she was very responsive. She even dropped off presents for the girls and had a surprise waiting for us! I felt completely taken care of, and we had a great time. Will absolutely use Emily again, and recommend her any chance I get.

Emily was wonderful in every way ??
Reviewed By Satisfied Traveler - Abingdon VA | Traveled to Maine | USA
My husband and I wanted to take a spontaneous trip to the New England states to view the fall foliage and experience the New England life. I contacted Emily and gave her an idea of what we were needing to plan this trip, she went above and beyond our expectations. She mapped out the route, start to finish, providing sightseeing options, seafood vendors and all the details for purchasing tickets for a couple of the attractions we were interested in. Emily is so pleasant to work with and we highly recommend her for all your travel needs.

Making travel easy for a family of six!
Reviewed By J6 - Forest, VA | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
My wife and I booked a family vacation to Disney World with Emily and it was amazing. The best part is that you dont have to worry about anything, she handles every aspect of your trip and is quick to answer any questions you have! The trip was amazing and a big part of it was that there was no stress involved in wondering if we forgot something because Emily had it all covered. All we had to do was show up and make memories, Thank you Emily!
Emily Cochenour responded
"I am so glad you and your fam had a great time at Disney! :) Looking forward to working with you again!"

Client Testimonials

Great Family Pre-Christmas Cruise!
Food was good!! Probably Panera quality and we ate mostly at lido market, so I’m sure it would have been better if we did the main dining rooms. Service was amazing, not a single complaint. Embarking and disembarking was very very easy, not a single hitch. We did have one hiccup with the room service on the morning of our excursion, but they apologized profusely, and it all worked out. Towel animals were adorable as always. Rooms were perfect! Ample room for a cruise and adjoining was perfect. The ship itself was a great size. It's definitely a ship that’s geared towards older people. I would happily go back on HAL, but I may consider royal next time that we bring the kids. No complaints or regrets for HAL though! We had a great time and my 11YO was never bored (which I knew she’d never go to a kids program so we didn’t need one). I probably wouldn’t take kids smaller than her but again, that was no surprise and I specifically wanted a lowkey ship that wasn’t little-kid oriented
