With a passion for creating meaningful, memorable travel experiences, I specialize in curating personalized vacations designed around each client’s unique style, interests, and vision.

Travel isn’t one-size-fits-all—and I believe your vacation should reflect exactly what you want it to be. Whether you're dreaming of a relaxing all-inclusive escape, an unforgettable cruise, a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I take the time to understand what matters most to you and bring it all together seamlessly.

One of my favorite areas of travel is cruising, where I help clients explore the world through ocean, river, and specialty voyages. From Alaska and the Caribbean to European river cruises and beyond, I guide my clients in finding the right cruise line, itinerary, and onboard experience that fits their travel style perfectly.

In addition to cruises, I plan a wide range of travel experiences, including all-inclusive resorts, custom international itineraries, group travel, celebrations such as honeymoons and destination weddings, and multi-generational family trips. I work with trusted travel partners and suppliers to ensure every detail is thoughtfully arranged and tailored to your needs.

My approach is both personal and detail-oriented. I assist with every step of the planning process—from initial ideas and destination selection to accommodations, transportation, excursions, and travel protection. I’m also here as a resource before, during, and after your trip, so you always have support along the way.

What I value most is building lasting relationships with my clients. I want you to feel confident, cared for, and excited about your travel plans from start to finish. My goal is to make the process feel easy and enjoyable while delivering a travel experience that exceeds your expectations.

Whether you’re ready to book your next getaway or simply exploring ideas, I’m here to help you turn inspiration into a beautifully planned journey.

Loved our trip thanks to Caroline!
Reviewed By Robin - Ravensdale, Washington | Traveled to Huatulco ~ Oaxaca ~ Mexico
Caroline is wonderful to work with on our trip to Mexico last year. She not only found us great deals, arranged the travel the way we wanted it and even alerted us to better options as the travel date got closer. At the time of our trip, there was a big hurricane warning taking place and she watched that and how it would impact our travel. Then while we were in the air to one location, she contacted us right away to let us know our airline at the next destination was delayed and had already procured a hotel for us and reached out to the original destination to let them know we would not be there that day. I was amazed and impressed with how much she watched over us. Even more of a bonus, she helped us recoup reimbursement for the hotel through our travel insurance. We will definitely be working with Caroline in the future and I can't recommend her enough!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Now What Traveler?
Reviewed By Len Waggoner - Scappoose, OR | Traveled to Mobile ~ Alabama ~ USA
Years ago I traveled for business, many cities and airports with
tickets in hand. Need to change times and places, no problem
the airlines and hotels were glad to help.
Today!
Today you are at the mercy of all those institutions. Your
schedule was written in stone, opps a data platform and you
better keep it. Even when the service provider errors or makes
schedule corrections it’s not their fault. Welcome to the victims of
travel.
I found a great solution to today’s problems, a travel agent who
cares and knows how to cure your issues.
Recently completed a multi city trip down South. Got stranded,
had luggage issues and in general needed help.
To the rescue came Caroline Thurston of Diamond Bar Travel,
who I originally booked through. Caroline helped me change
scheduling and is working to generate rebates from those service
providers, that’s professional, maybe even old school.
Thanks Caroline.

Trip to Reno and Las Vegas
Reviewed By Jennine Moulds - Saint Helens, Oregon | Traveled to Reno | Nevada | USA
Caroline met with us in to go over what we would like to do in our trip to Reno in Vegas. We wanted help because we weren’t real sure how to book a different flights to each location and home. Caroline set up all our flights motel rooms and transportation. She was amazing every time we had questions she responded back to us as quickly as possible. It’s been over 18 years since we flew anywhere and she was able to set things up and made it as smoothly as possible I would definitely recommend her.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
