About Me

Maui Life
Maui Life

Maui isn’t just a destination - it’s a feeling.

Its the slow rise of the sun over Haleakala, the scent of plumeria in the air, the sound of waves crashing as a local musician strums somewhere nearby. It’s the kind of place that meets you exactly where you are - whether you’re celebrating love, grieving a loss, seeking rest, or craving a little adventure. I've been lucky enough to visit Maui twice while working as a destination sales agent for the Hawaiian Islands with All About Travel, and each visit left its mark on me in the most unforgettable ways.

This island has a soul. It’s perfect for multigenerational getaways, babymoons, honeymoons, or just a deeply needed pause. Families can explore together—snorkeling in the clearest waters, catching a sunrise above the clouds, or grabbing malasadas after a long beach day. Couples can find seclusion in boutique resorts, romantic cliffside dinners, or spontaneous roadside fruit stands while driving the Road to Hana. Everyone at the beaches have their own snorkel gear too, which is nice. One time, an old local came up to me with one of the aloe leaves, and showed me how to apply it to my sunburned bod. 

Trust that the island will show up for you in ways you didn’t even know you needed.

One of my most vivid Maui memories is winding along the back road, driving cliffside back down the windy roads into town, but I had set it up to be a 3-4 hours drive into a continuous sunset. I had justt left The Road to Hana when I started my roadie back to the hotel. The cliffs dropped off into infinity, rainbows kept flickering into view. The music gos smiled upon me when I stopped for a cow to pass by, and Alt-J’s “Warm Foothills”  came on... IYKYK

It was my last day there, and in that moment—everything just clicked. This island holds space for all of it.

Whether you’re looking for high-touch experiences, luxury resorts, unforgettable luaus, or just a place to breathe a little deeper, Maui is that place. And I know exactly where to send you. Ready when you are.

I’ve been lucky enough to visit Maui twice while working as a destination sales agent for the Hawaiian Islands with All About Travel, and each visit left its mark on me in the most unforgettable ways.

The second time around, my travel BFF flew out to meet me - and we took ON Maui. We rented a car and road-tripped the island with wild hearts and big appetites. We zip-lined through eucalyptus trees, wandered the lavender fields, visited Dole farms, snorkeled with sea turtles, explored freshwater caves and the black sand beach, and hiked Kipahulu and Haleakala National Park. We soaked in the 7 Sacred Pools, ate our weight in acai bowls and fresh seafood, and got absolutely hypnotized by the Polynesian men in the luau shows (don’t judge us).

We even took a helicopter tour over Kaua‘i and hiked down to the hidden red sand beach. Every corner of the island gave us something new—and we knew:

Maui is one of the good ones.

One time, a local came up to me with a fresh aloe leaf and showed me exactly how to slice and apply it to my sunburned skin.. hospitality at its realest.

Trust that the island will show up for you in ways you didn’t even know you needed.

One of my most vivid Maui memories is winding along the back road, driving cliffside back into town. I had timed it to be a three-to-four-hour drive into a continuous sunset. Intentional magic. I had just left the Road to Hana. The cliffs dropped off into infinity, rainbows kept flickering into view, and the music gods smiled on me: I stopped to let a cow pass by, and Alt-J’s “Warm Foothills” came on... IYKYK

It was my last day there. And in that moment - everything just clicked.

Amazing experience
Reviewed By Mark - Portand, OR | Traveled to Japan ~ East and Southeast Asia
First of all, what an amazing trip. A big shout out to My agent Emily. She was so beyond helpful in helping me plan My trip Japan. I am by no means a "booking Savy" person, but she was able to help me down to the last detail. I've been dying to see the true Japanese fish markets and they lived up to all of my expectations. I am a foodie by nature, so being able to get set up with an itinerary where food was the most important was a big plus. Emily gave me some great suggestions to set me on the right path to find some new favorites. By the way, Takoyaki is my new favorite snack.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Just wow. Thankyou
Reviewed By Patricia Lang - Greenwich, CT | Traveled to Europe
This mother daughter “trip of a lifetime “ exceeded expectations! Emily put together a trip spanning 3 countries and 5 cities with all the transit in between and excursions, making each day an adventure we will always remember. First time I’ve ever used a travel agent so I was a little nervous, but I’ll use her again, no question!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Father Daughter trip to Seoul
Reviewed By Forrest P - OH | Traveled to Seoul ~ South Korea ~ East and Southeast Asia
Emily was amazing. She was attentive, communicative, and professional during each step of the process. She did a great job taking the vision we provided and making it a reality. In addition, she was available during our trip so when a few changes happened with our flights and one of our tours we were able to get resolution quickly. Emily provided excellent customer service and support. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone else traveling domestically or abroad.

Family Trip to the Philippines
Reviewed By Kristina K. - Joppa, Maryland | Traveled to Philippines ~ East and Southeast Asia
I do not know what I would have done without Emily's help. We had such a big group (10 of us) that came from both the US and the Philippines, and she organized everything for us! Even though people were flying in and out of different places at different times, she got it all locked in.
Truly the best family vacation we've had so far!
And on top of all that, she checked in with us at every step and would confirm things with us as we needed to.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Honeymoon trip to EL Nido
Reviewed By Andrea Argente - Cornelius, NC | Traveled to Palawan Island ~ Philippines ~ East and Southeast Asia
Emily was extremely organized, informative, and provided fantastic service. Everything went smoothly and if I did have any questions, Emily was a call/text away. Our honeymoon was magical and more than what we could've ever dreamed of. It wouldn't of happened as smoothly as it did if it wasn't for Emily. We were also very appreciative of the itinerary she created for us - very organized, pleasing to the eye, and clean-cut. We are extremely happy with her service provided. She understands your needs and wants and will make anything happen with the budget you give her.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Family Vacation to Philippies- Coron, Manila
    I do not know what I would have done without Emily's help. We had such a big group (10 of us) that came from both the US and the Philippines, and she organized everything for us! Even though people were flying in and out of different places at different times, she got it all locked in. Truly the best family vacation we've had so far! We stayed at the La Estancia Busuanga Resort in Coron, and the Coro Hotel in Manila. Emily talked us into a Calauit Safari, Busuanga Town & North Cay Island Tour, which was fantastic for the kids. And on top of all that, she checked in with us at every step and would confirm things with us as we needed to.

    Father Daugher trip to Seoul, High School Grad
    Emily was amazing. She was attentive, communicative, and professional during each step of the process. She did a great job taking the vision we provided and making it a reality. We did the full day with Gloucester Memorial & Suspension Bridge Tour, a Seoul Highlights Private Tour, Palace, Temple and Market Guided Foodie Tour at night (that was super cool). We even did a K-pop Dance Lesson in Gangnam, Seoul!!! In addition, she was available during our trip so when a few changes happened with our flights and one of our tours we were able to get resolution quickly. Emily provided excellent customer service and support. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone else traveling domestically or abroad.

    Latest moms' yachting trip in Mediterranean
    Just wanted to say thank you again for the incredible experience. The yacht, the route, the crew, the balance of structured stops and relaxed moments. It was all exactly what we needed, without us ever needing to spell it out. We charted a yacht for 8 days: Amalfi – Aeolian Islands – Sicily. This wasn’t our first group trip together, but it was by far the most dialed-in. Everything felt handled without being fussy, and the entire week unfolded with ease. We laughed, we lingered, we sipped cocktails in swimsuits at noon and didn’t touch our phones unless it was for a photo. Everyone is already talking about where we’re going next. When Emily said to leave it to the professional, I'm glad we did. She did a great job!

    Japan was wonderful!
    My husband and I have never been to Japan before and needed help navigating where we should go. When we reached out to Emily, she was so informative about all the activities and sights we could see in each individual city. We decided to go with her second quote and I am so glad we did. It was all stunning and looks just like the pictures she had showed us prior to the trip. We will be going back for sure and we will be booking Emily again! Thanks so much!
