A secluded beach in Rio Mar Puerto Rico.

Life is an adventure! Don't be afraid to live it!

Are you completely overwhelmed at the thought of traveling abroad or even to another state? What if you take a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Paris, but miss seeing the Mona Lisa because you didn't know to book your tickets to the Louvre in advance!? Do you have so many questions and concerns, but don't know where to look for answers or advice? 

Don't worry, I get it!

I was in your shoes about seven years ago. I was about to plan my first trip abroad, and the nerves and anxiety brought on by planning two weeks in places I had never been literally caused me to break out in hives! (It wasn't pretty, so I'll spare you the pictures. Can a person really take TOO much Benedryl?) BUT...I conquered my anxiety and fear, and now I LOVE going to new places, trying new things, and experiencing new cultures! I have been to 3 continents, 10 countries, and 17 states in the past seven years, and I planned EVERY minute of those vacations myself!

I know how you feel, so I specialize in:

• helping you feel comfortable and confident about traveling. I understand that the fear of the unknown is one of the biggest reasons people don't live out their travel dreams. Metro stations, airports, unfamiliar languages...I'll guide you through it all! My ultimate goal is to get you out there, living your best life, without the stress and anxiety that can come with visiting new places. 
• spending countless hours researching the best flights, accommodations, and excursions so you don't have to! A well-planned and worry-free vacation doesn't just happen - it takes HOURS to find the perfect restaurants, museums, and excursions. I spend time reading reviews, travel blogs, and designing the perfect itinerary that is 100% customized for YOUR wants and needs! I have spent upwards of 40+ hours planning the perfect vacation, and that's time you don't have to spare! There is so much information out there, and I'm here to wade through it all, so you don't have to!
• Do you love museums and culture? I got you covered. Shopping? No problem. Foodie? Heck yes! Adventure and outdoors? Let's do it! Whatever it is YOU love, that's what you'll get with your custom travel plan!

Let's get you out there living your best life!

When you trust  me to plan your travel, you will...

• save hours of time researching the best flights, accomodations, and sights!
• have peace of mind knowing that you won't miss out on anything due to lack of knowledge or planning. (Yes, you need to book Eiffel Tower tickets in advance, or you'll spend three to four hours waiting in line!! That's four hours of your time WASTED!)
• know exactly how to navigate airports, metro stations, and winding streets like a local.
• eat great food! You have a meals in one vacation, so why waste your belly space with mediocre food?!
