I tailor experiences to all budgets and desires, leveraging my expertise to ensure you get the utmost value for your investment. When the term "Travel Agent" crosses your mind, it might paint a picture of a time when people relied on one in the pre-internet era. You may think it will cost you more to work with a professional than to spend hours researching for yourself online. Yet likely, you landed here because you know the limitations of online platforms or have become overwhelmed in the research process. I have set out to redefine the experience of using a travel agent! - I match your style - want your itinerary in a convenient App? I provide that. Prefer a printed itinerary? No problem! Whether your Escape is Impulsive or meticulously planned years in advance, use me to be your guide to a modern travel experience. (Read More Below)

Vacation of a lifetime
I recently embarked on the vacation of a lifetime, and it wouldn't have been possible without the exceptional services of Impulsive Escape Travel. From the moment I reached out to her to plan my dream getaway, she exceeded all expectations and turned my travel dreams into a reality. The level of professionalism and expertise demonstrated by Cheryl was truly outstanding. She took the time to understand my preferences and desires, crafting a personalized itinerary that perfectly suited my interests. Her attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every aspect of the trip was meticulously arranged.

Family Cruising!
Cheryl went above and beyond booking our family to go on a cruise. She answered all of our crazy questions day or night. If she did not know the answers, she would quickly find them and let us know. She answered my urgent messages as we were boarding the cruise and had not gotten COVID test results back and calmed us all down. I will never book another trip with out consulting her first. She is simply AMAZING! Thank you for all you you do!

Group Birthday trip in Mexico!
Cheryl went above and beyond to help me join my friends on a trip to Mexico! I was a late add on to the trip and she made everything so easy! THEN...I messed up my passport information and didn't catch it until the night before our flight (I am a monster) and she was able to work her magic get me to Mexico! I rarely travel and Cheryl made everything so easy! I can't recommend her enough!!!!
