Vacation and Experience Travel Specialist
Hi, I’m Tanisha, and I believe some of the best memories we make happen when we get away from the everyday routine and experience something new.I became a travel advisor because I genuinely love travel and everything that goes into planning a great trip. I
’m also the person who can spend way too much time researching hotels, comparing flights, looking at different room categories and finding things to do once you get there — which works out pretty well for my clients!I plan a wide variety of vacations, including all-inclusive resorts, cruises, beach vacations, family trips, couples getaways, Disney and Universal vacations, and bucket-list adventures.
I especially enjoy helping people who know they want to get away but feel overwhelmed by all of the choices. You don’t have to know exactly where you want to go before contacting me. Sometimes figuring that out together is part of the fun.
One area of travel I’m especially passionate about is experience-based travel. I love helping clients build trips around the things they already love — concerts and live music, sporting events, golf, themed cruises and other special events. Sometimes the destination isn’t the reason for the trip at all. The experience is.
Music is a huge part of my life, and I’m also a big sports fan, so this side of travel feels especially natural to me. I love the idea of turning a concert you’ve always wanted to see, a bucket-list game, a golf experience or a music cruise into an entire getaway rather than simply buying a ticket and going home.
Cruising is another area I’ve invested a lot of time in learning. I have completed training with several major cruise lines, including Princess and Norwegian Cruise Line, and I’ve completed Princess Alaska training.
I also specialize in all-inclusive vacations and have extensive knowledge of resorts throughout Mexico and the Caribbean, including adults-only, couples and family-friendly options.I’m a certified Hawaii Destination Specialist and Puerto Rico Specialist, and I’ve completed specialized training for Disney, Universal, Sandals, Princess, Norwegian Cruise Line and other travel partners.
I continually take courses and participate in industry training because travel is always changing, and I want to be able to give my clients knowledgeable recommendations rather than simply showing them what comes up first in a search.
When I plan a vacation, I don’t automatically look for the cheapest option. I look for the best value for the person taking the trip. A slightly cheaper flight isn’t much of a deal if it gives you a six-hour layover — or a 40-minute connection that has you sprinting through the airport! The same goes for resorts, cruises and hotels. I want to understand what matters to you and help you spend your vacation dollars where they make the biggest difference.
I’m a wife and mom of two daughters, and when I’m not planning travel, you’ll usually find me enjoying music, following my favorite sports teams, spending time with my family or dreaming about where I want to go next.
Whether you're planning a relaxing week on the beach, your first cruise, a family vacation, a romantic getaway or an entire trip built around an experience you can't wait to have, I'd love to help you put it all together.For me, travel isn't just about where you go. It's about what you experience while you're there — and the memories you bring home with you.
Why Plan Your Trip With Me?
I know how overwhelming travel planning can get. There are hundreds of resorts, flights, cruise cabins and options to sort through, and it’s not always easy to know what’s actually right for you. That’s where I come in. I take the time to learn what matters to you, research the options and help put the pieces together. Whether you know exactly what you want or have no idea where to start, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. My goal is simple: help you plan a trip you’re genuinely excited to take.
