About Me

Spanish Streets
Spanish Streets

Spain... my home away from home.  I have studied abroad there, worked for a travel company over there, visited multiple times. 

Located in southwest Europe, it occupies about 85 percent of the Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with Portugal. The country is geographically and culturally diverse, made up of stone castles, snow capped mountains, vast monuments, and sophisticated cities. Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Granada, Valencia are all popular city destinations. Each one has a unique twist to the old Spanish feel or grand architecture and culture.

Barcelona is without a doubt, Spain’s cultural capital. There is so much to do! La Sagrada Familia, museums. Outdoor places like Park Guell, Montjuic, and La Barceloneta beach offer spectacular views and often hold various cultural or music festivals. There are century-old neighborhoods like Barrio Gotico (The Gothic Quarter), which dates to the Roman Empire. The streets have local restaurants were you can sit outside, have a glass wine or beer, and soak in the scenery.

Another good place to check out is Mallorca. This dreamy island getaway features beautiful beaches, picturesque small towns and outdoor pursuits that draw tourists in downs. Reel in the see-through blue waters of Playa de Muro and Cala Llombards, then hop in a car and drive around the striking mountains that make up Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then of course, there’s Ibiza. The Spanish Island is known for its nightlife and natural offerings.  The Canary Islands also provide premier beach destinations and is bursting with outdoor attractions- including three national parks. Looking for a foodie destination? San Sebastian has you covered. I have spent so much time exploring and trying out all the gastro pub restaurants, after a long day of surfing. The food scene is unmatched and world famous for its pintxos. It would be my honor to sign you up for food tours. My thorough experience over the years has laid the foundation for me to create the best trip for you, whether its for you, a family trip or even the start of a grand European tour.

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.

From my little balcony

Barcelona Life

This was my third time living in Barcelona. I was working for a travel company called Stoke Travel, sharing a flat with an eclectic mix of kindred spirits—just two blocks from La Barceloneta. Since I moved in before most of the crew, I had my pick of the rooms and chose the bed right next to our little balcony. I’ve never known a peace so...

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!
