About Me

Picture this ... You arrive at a sun-drenched shore, hand in hand, while a private driver carries you to a suite that opens onto the ocean. Champagne waits on the balcony beside a steaming Jacuzzi. The ocean stretches out beneath a painted sunset, and for a little while, it feels as though the world belongs only to the two of you.

For more than 30 years, I’ve been crafting unforgettable romantic escapes—honeymoons that feel like a beautiful new beginning, anniversaries that read like love letters, proposals that take your breath away, and milestone celebrations filled with meaningful moments.

I don’t simply book trips. I design extraordinary vacations filled with the kind of thoughtful details and unforgettable experiences you’ll still be talking about years from now.

I’ve walked the white stairs of Positano at sunrise, stayed in an overwater bungalow in Tahiti as the lagoon glowed beneath us, and watched countless Riviera Maya sunsets until I could choose the perfect suite with my eyes closed. Those firsthand experiences allow me to know which resort will wrap you in romance, which villa offers the most intimate setting, and which experiences will make your celebration truly unforgettable.

What I Do for You

  • I listen first—to your story, your travel style, and the memories you want to create.
  • I curate the destination and property that best fit your vision.
  • I specialize in adults-only resorts, luxury honeymoons, romantic anniversaries, proposals, and milestone celebrations.
  • I manage the details and logistics, so your journey feels seamless from beginning to end.
  • I arrange elevated touches such as private transfers, sunset sailing, couples’ spa experiences, and intimate dinners overlooking the cliffs of Positano.

Where I’ve Walked So You Don’t Have To

From more than 70 visits to the Riviera Maya to countless stays across Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Punta Cana, and the Caribbean—and unforgettable escapes to Tahiti, Bora Bora, Italy, France, and beyond—I bring firsthand knowledge of romantic hotels, secluded villas, and memorable experiences directly to you.

My Promise to You

I’ll guide you from the first dream to the last goodbye at the airport. You’ll have fewer decisions to make and more time to savor the moments that matter most.

Whether you’re imagining a secluded villa with a private plunge pool, a candlelit dinner on a quiet beach, a surprise proposal, or an anniversary celebration designed entirely around the two of you, I’ll help make it extraordinary.

Ready to See Yourself Here?

Let’s map your story. Together, we’ll design the romantic escape you’ve been imagining—one filled with beauty, connection, and memories you’ll cherish for years to come.

Missy is a joy to work with
Reviewed By Cindy - Minnetonka MN | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Missy is one of the most passionate agents I know. She really truly cares
about her clients. I know this because I am one of her Whole Sale Business Development Managers. I have worked with Missy for many years. She puts her heart and soul into every booking to make sure she is giving the best advise for the best price to each and every client. When things go right she is so excited about the trips she has planned and takes delight in hearing her clients stories. The very few times things go wrong she is right there trying to get things fixed to the satisfaction of her clients. If my family or friends were looking for an agent Missy would be one that I would recommend. She is knowledgeable, she listens to what your needs and wants are, she makes suggestions based on her experiences and she does this all with a smile.

Magical Experience
Reviewed By Happy Campers - St. Paul, MN | Traveled to Europe
Missy provided outstanding service in assisting us with our vacation planning. She was methodical and patient, working on general ideas first, then focusing on hotels, travel modes (trains, flights, etc.), and finally, specific activities which required advance reservations. She was able to offer alternative ideas through her vast experience of travel that were amazing additions to our trip. And by the time our planning was complete, she packaged everything in a neat, concise travel packet with everything documented in a day by day itinerary. And although we never needed to use them, we were given emergency contacts and numbers in the event of problems on our trip. Thank you Missy!!!
