About Me

From one of my days exploring Rome, Italy
From one of my days exploring Rome, Italy

Hi there! I may be new to the travel agency role, but I am not new to traveling. My first international trip was when I was 6 years old and I visited France for 2 weeks to follow the Tour de France with my family. I have since been to over 25 countries around the world, including Italy, India, Israel, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Nicaragua, the UK, Switzerland, and more! 

I have planned group trips for friends on cruises and even planned my High School graduation trip for 4 girls to Walt Disney World - at the age of 17! I have always loved planning travel for friends and I would love to help you plan your next vacation!

My Favorites!

While I still have many countries to check off my list, here is a comprehensive guide to my favorite destinations!

1. Favorite City? Tel Aviv! I visited in 2018 for a week and loved being able to walk down the main Avenue or walk the other way and relax on gorgeous beaches.

2. Favorite Cruise Port? I loved the Beach Club at Bimini when I stopped on my Virgin Voyage's cruise. I can't wait for my next sailing!

3. Favorite all-inclusive? Sandals!! Hands down, Sandals knows how to treat guests like royalty!

4. Favorite country? Switzerland was gorgeous. Seeing it in December with snow-capped mountains is something straight out of magazines!

Unforgettable Group Getaway
Reviewed By Amanda - Philadelphia, PA | Traveled to Bimini Islands ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
We recently had a fantastic group cruise to Bimini and Mexico, and it all went smoothly thanks to Emma’s meticulous planning and organization. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly helpful. She listened to our needs and preferences, and then crafted an itinerary that was perfect for everyone in our group.

Emma took care of everything, from booking the cruise itself to scheduling all of our dinners and activities. But what truly made the trip special was Emma’s attention to detail. She anticipated all of our needs and ensured that everything ran smoothly throughout the entire trip. Emma was always available to answer questions and address any concerns we had, which made a big difference in our overall experience.

If you're planning a group trip, I can't recommend Emma highly enough. She is a true professional who will go above and beyond to make your dream vacation a reality.

Short Disney Trip
Reviewed By Max - Philadelphia, PA | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Emma knows more about Disney than anyone else I've ever met. She is knowledgeable on all things Disney. She does an amazing job of planning when to be in each specific park to optimize ride waits, best food opportunities, and show times. She is also an expert in navigating the Disney properties, knowing what form of transportation is most efficient to move between different parks and resorts. We were able to get to all of our favorite attractions across all the parks in just two days due to such good planning.
Emma Doupe responded
"Had such a great time planning your Disney days, Max! Can't wait to plan your next trip!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Sippin' on sunshine in Punta Cana!
My husband and I wanted to go to Punta Cana for one week for our birthdays and Emma asked for what we were looking for... relaxation, activities, etc. and listened so she could provide expert recommendations. Once we decided which resort we liked best, she took care of everything and booked it all: flights, airports transfers, hotel accommodations, dinner reservations, and even champagne and cake in our room! Prior to leaving, she sent us a packet of "Everything you need to have/know before you go!" Emma called and confirmed everything for us, so we didn't have to do anything! Emma is an excellent travel agent - everything was seamless! We had our own personal concierge throughout our stay. We felt completely taken care of and had a great experience! We can't wait to plan our next getaway with Emma at Castles & Dreams Travel.
