About Me

    Howdy y'all! My name is Erica, and I am a Navy Veteran who has recently embarked on a career as a travel agent. Despite being new to the field, my extensive life experiences and travels around the world have given me a deep-seated passion for exploration and cultural immersion, which I am excited to share with my clients.

Growing up, I was fortunate to have a family that prioritized travel and adventure. We spent summers on cruises and winters at ski resorts, and frequently visited all-inclusive resorts in locations such as Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, Playa del Carmen, and Isla Mujeres. These early experiences cultivated my love for travel and introduced me to the joys of exploring new places and cultures.

My journey continued with my service in the Navy, where I was stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, aboard the USS George Washington (CVN-73), an aircraft carrier. As a hydraulics engineer in the 7th Pacific Fleet, I had the opportunity to travel extensively. During our eight-month deployments, I visited Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Australia. My time in Japan, in particular, allowed me to embrace its rich culture and further deepen my appreciation for global diversity.

Now, as a travel agent, I am passionate about helping my clients experience the same excitement and wonder that I feel when discovering new destinations. I believe that exploring and traveling to new and faraway places is an enriching experience that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy.

In addition to my professional background, I am a devoted dog mom to three furry friends: Koa, Bindi, and Kevin. I understand the importance of traveling with pets and prioritize pet-friendly locations, service animal laws, and accessibility for my clients who travel with their pets.

My unique background as a Navy Veteran and seasoned traveler equips me with the knowledge and passion to provide exceptional travel experiences. Whether it's a luxury resort, your dream destination wedding, or a pet-friendly vacation, I am dedicated to helping my clients create unforgettable memories!
