About Me

My love of travel and adventure is unlimited!  

I have been a professional travel agent for a year.  I have been planning travel for my family and friends for many years.  My first love is international travel and I have been fortunate to have visited places such as Thailand, Dubai, South Africa, China, London, Paris and so many more. 

My family and I also love to cruise!  Earning Diamond Status on Royal Caribbean and elite status on any other ships.  We have cruised to the Mediterranean, Montenegro, Greece and too many Caribbean islands to name!!In the past year as an agent, I have helped multiple clients plan trips to the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama and Mexico - just to name a few.  I have booked group and family reunion cruises on Royal Caribbean, Carnival and MSC.  I have planned girls trips to Napa, Cabo San Lucas and Jamaica.  I also help with local trips and hotels stays as well as car rentals.

I take my training seriously so that I can bring you the best that each destination has to offer.  I have achieved top level training status with Sandals, Royal, Celebrity, Carnival and Virgin.  Helping you plan your desired vacation within your budget is my goal.  We will work together to make sure all of your dreams and desires are met and that you and your family or friends have the most amazing vacation ever.I want to help you and your family make your unlimited travel dreams a reality.

Allow me to help you plan that dream vacation!

Sharing my love of travel with you!

I love to travel.  I have been traveling with my children (who are now 18 and 26) since they were toddlers.  I use to help my Mom plan trips for our church.  She worked in the school system and knew that travel was out of reach for many parents.  So she would plan bus trips to Florida, amusement parks and locally around Connecticut using payment plans so that travel was affordable for everyone.  She eventually started planning group cruises, at least a year in advance, again allowing for payment plans.  I never stopped!  I have been planning trips for family and friends my entire life.  I love what I do and I want to share my experiences with you to help you plan many amazing trips!  It starts with a conversation!

Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By Christine - Washington, DC | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
I cannot speak highly enough of Ellen and the incredible service she provided. From the moment I contacted her, I knew I was in good hands. Not only did she meticulously plan every detail of my trip, but she also took the time to understand my preferences and interests, ensuring that my itinerary was tailored to perfection.

What truly sets Ellen apart is her dedication to customer satisfaction. When an unexpected issue arose during my trip, she immediately sprang into action and resolved it swiftly, allowing me to continue my journey without any disruption. Her commitment to her clients is unmatched, and I am immensely grateful for her professionalism and care.

If you're looking for a travel agent who will go the extra mile to make your travel dreams a reality, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Ellen’s services and can't wait to plan my next adventure with her!

Girls Trip
Reviewed By Phenix46 - Brooklyn,Ny | Traveled to New Orleans | Louisiana | USA
This was my first time planning a girls trip and Ellen was there to help plan every step of the way. She showed me different accommodations, hotel pricing and travel options. She kept it upfront with me and explained my trip would be too expensive this year 2026, but she would make it happen if I preferred. She did research and gave me a more affordable price for next year if I was willing to wait. I can’t wait to book my trip to New Orleans Essence festival 2027. I just know Ellen will help make this trip one of the best ever.

"Thank you for this review! I know we were not able to get you what you wanted this year. I appreciate the honest conversation about expectations that helped us align with the perfect trip next year! We are on it and ready to plan the best New Orleans trip ever!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Ski Trip
Reviewed By Royal - New York, New York | Traveled to Pocono | Pennsylvania | USA
I am so last minute and was confused on how to surprise my wife with an amazing trip. I reached out to Ellen and she helped plan an unforgettable experience to the Poconos Camel back ski resort. Trip was very affordable, I didn’t have to break the bank and we enjoyed the hotel stay and activities. I will definitely book with Ellen again.
