About Me

Welcome to Vazquez Ventures where I invite you to share my passion of traveling and creating great memories with family, friends and friends that are like family!

There are so many places to be seen and cultures to be experienced. I would love to be able to assist you with finding you & yours next adventure!

As a wife of a retired Marine & the mother of 4, I have come to appreciate the value of quality time and the memories our vacations have provided for our family. The juggling of various life commitments and cognizant that our budget is not limitless as we all wish it could be, has lead me to this passion of seeking out great opportunities for all to make memories of their own.

If you have a travel goal in mind at another destination, I would be happy to discuss with you your goals and research options for you.My goal is to provide you with a means to make your travel planning more enjoyable and the overall experience easier for you.

Let me do the planning and you just sit back and focus on the destination!

Saved our trip!!
Reviewed By Sherigold717 - Apollo Beach Florida | Traveled to Italy | Europe
My husband and I were planning a trip of a lifetime. We were planning a two week trip to Italy; it was 1 week land and 1 week cruise. The cruise was the easy part since we are seasoned cruisers we called NCL and booked our excursions through them. The one week land was a little more than we bargained for!! My husband reached out on our neighborhood Facebook page for recommendations on a travel agent. The overwhelming response was Lea Vazquez. She did not disappoint all the positive reviews. She came in and helped organize our one week land. We changed some of our tours, changed our second city from Venice to Bologna, she secured a hotel in Bologna and private transportation from Bologna to the port in Ravenna Italy. The private transport was the best spent money it made our trip to the port so much easier than train and taxis!! I loved her travel app. It organized everything from flights, to excursions, hotel, cruise, and private transportation so if there was a change we were immediately updated! It also kept everything in one spot and made it easy to communicate with Lea and any of the tour operators. We will definitely use Lea when we do any future travel!!

"Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure helping make your Italy adventure come together, from customizing your land itinerary to arranging your hotels and transportation.

Friend Cruise Success!
Lea was very helpful, kept in contact every step of the way. We can't wait to plan our next cruise and will definitely use Vazquez Ventures on our next cruise. It was very easy to board and leaving ship, it couldn't have been any easier. She had everything booked and planned out, which made so easy from start to finished.
