Hi There! Does anybody have a favorite vacation they want to tell me about? You can also send pictures.

My journey as a travel agent began with my previous employment, where I created travel itineraries for people for six years. This experience ignited a deep-seated joy of discovery within me, a passion that I now bring to every client I serve.  When you envision your next vacation on the Caribbean Coast, know that I eagerly await the opportunity to assist you. With my extensive expertise in crafting unforgettable Florida Coastal vacations, booking cruises and excursions, and organizing small group events, I am committed to turning your vacation dreams into a reality. Having personally explored many of these coastal destinations, I can assure you of an authentic and enriching experience.

I am genuinely interested in hearing about your unique vacation ideas. Please take a moment to email me, and let's start discussing how I can provide personalized, tailored assistance with every detail of your trip. From air and hotel bookings to airport or train transfers, car rentals, port excursions, cruises, and any other travel-related concerns you may have, I am here to make your dream vacation a reality. Your ideas and preferences are the foundation of our journey together. 

I am truly excited about exploring the world's most beautiful coastal destinations at Travel To The Coasts. Whether you dream of a Caribbean cruise, a Florida beach getaway, or a European adventure, I am dedicated to making your dream a reality. I will handle all the details, from flights and hotels to car rentals and excursions, so you can relax and fully immerse yourself in your coastal adventure. Let's start planning your next unforgettable journey today! Your excitement is contagious, and I can't wait to start this adventure with you.

I have experience booking travel for my guest speakers and incoming graduate students, including flights, hotels, meals, and Ubers. I've been doing this for a few years, which is my opportunity to change. My niece graduated from the Navy base in Coronado, California. She showed me around San Diego, and I fell in love again. Even if I am not the person traveling, I cannot wait to hear about others'/hopefully clients' vacation plans. If there is sand and water, I want to send you there. My specialty is cruises, ports of interest, and anything with sand. I am familiar with many Florida (Universal preferred over Mickey-LOL). I want to expand to river cruises like MSC. I love Caribbean cruises, any ports along the way, Florida coast to coast, and getting folks to their destinations. 

I also love the transcontinental railway system and would love to assist with an Amtrak trip to California. I would also help create itineraries for international railways in Spain, France, and Italy. 

Staff reservations for conferences and interviews.

After years of serving as a secretary, I am eagerly seeking the next phase of my career. I have honed my skills and discovered my passion for planning and organization. My expertise includes arranging travel for guest speakers and incoming graduate students and handling everything from flights and hotel bookings to restaurant reservations.

During interview days, I successfully managed tasks for about 40 faculty members and 10 visiting students, such as making event room reservations, ordering event food, and arranging airfare, hotel, and dinner for visiting persons.
I excel in organization and can confidently handle any conference or business plan. Leave the details to me and be worry-free.
