For me, travel is about more than just the destination — it’s about creating connections, discovering new cultures, and building memories that last a lifetime. As the founder of Breezy Travel & Destinations, I help midlife travelers (40 and above) enjoy stress-free, premium experiences tailored to their dreams, whether that’s a bucket-list cruise, a getaway vacation, small-group journey, or a meaningful celebration trip.
The beauty of Europe is best discovered from the water, and I love helping my clients experience it through both ocean and river cruises. I’ve explored Mediterranean ports like Athens, Dubrovnik, and Barcelona, as well as Europe’s riverside gems along the Rhine and Danube. As an Accredited Cruise Counselor, I bring insider knowledge and professional expertise to craft journeys that combine cultural immersion, culinary delights, and breathtaking scenery. From a luxurious sailing through the Greek Isles to a river cruise past medieval castles, I ensure every European cruise I plan is effortless, enriching, and filled with memories that last a lifetime.
With a professional background in counseling psychology and crisis management, I bring empathy, organization, and calm problem-solving to every itinerary I create. My clients know me for my approachable style, attention to detail, and the peace of mind that comes from having a trusted expert handling the logistics behind the scenes.
When you work with me, you’re not just booking a trip — you’re gaining a travel partner who listens, understands, and ensures every journey feels effortless. From milestone celebrations to once-in-a-lifetime adventures, I’m here to make your travel dreams a reality.
Let’s make your next adventure as breezy as it is unforgettable.

Canadian Winter Wonderland
Reviewed By K.DeTiege - Louisiana | Traveled to Niagara Falls | Ontario | Canada
I had an absolutely amazing experience with Breezy Travel & Destinations! From start to finish, every detail of my winter getaway to Toronto and Niagara Falls was planned perfectly. Traveling in January turned out to be magical, and Breezy Travel made sure the entire trip was stress-free, exciting, and unforgettable.
We explored the breathtaking beauty of Niagara Falls surrounded by snow and ice, visited the incredible Ice Winery, enjoyed delicious restaurants with amazing food, and spent time in the charming town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. One of my favorite experiences was the beautiful horse-drawn carriage rides that made the trip feel like a real winter wonderland.
Breezy Travel & Destinations handled everything with professionalism, care, and attention to detail. Their customer service was outstanding, and they truly created the perfect winter vacation experience. If you’re looking for a travel company that delivers memorable experiences and excellent service, I highly recommend Breezy Travel & Destinations!
Thank you for such an incredible trip — I can’t wait to book my next adventure!

Portugal Adventures
Reviewed By Ana - Mission, Texas | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
Courtney went above and beyond to get is the best deal for our trip. She was attentive and always available to answer and questions and to handle any issues that arose during our travel. If she didn't have an answer to our questions, she researched and got the answer for us. She found us a room when we unexpectedly had to spend the night due in a stop due to a flight cancellation/change even though she was on a work trip herself. She was kind when dealing with lost luggage issues and consistently checked in with us during the entire trip. There was never any doubt that she knew just what to do for us. She provided suggestions for things to do on our trip and was always very professional when doing so. We will definitely use her service again and have already referred friends to her. You will not go wrong with her as she genuinely cares about her clients.

"Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review! I’m so glad I could help make your trip as smooth and stress-free as possible — even when travel plans changed unexpectedly. Going above and beyond for my clients is truly at the heart of what I do, and it means so much to know you felt supported every step of the way.
I appreciate your trust, your referrals, and the opportunity to handle your vacation planning and I look forward to helping you plan your next adventure!"

I recently worked with Courtney at Breezy Travel & Destinations to book a Virgin Voyages cruise to Athens, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. She was incredibly easy to work with, always prompt in resolving any questions or issues, and showed great attention to detail throughout the planning process. She took extra care to make sure everyone in our group was coordinated and on the same page, which made our trip smooth and stress-free. Every need was met, and I felt fully taken care of. I highly recommend Courtney at Breezy Travel and Destinations to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and professional travel agent.
