About Me

Global Escape Designer: Tropics, Europe & Cruises

As a Global Escape Designer, I curate immersive, high-touch travel experiences across the world’s most captivating destinations. I specialize in the sun-kissed tropics, storybook Europe, unforgettable cruise journeys, and warm-weather Arizona winter escapes—crafting itineraries that blend luxury, culture, and effortless adventure. From turquoise-water retreats to cobblestone-lined cities, from ocean-sailing voyages to the serene desert landscapes of Arizona, every journey I design is intentional, personalized, and infused with concierge-level care. My passion is transforming dream vacations into seamless, soul-stirring realities—one extraordinary escape at a time. I'm an avid traveler and meticulous travel advisor. I love crafting unforgettable getaways for couples, empty-nesters, and small groups seeking sun-soaked adventures and bucket list experiences.

The memories on this trip will last forever!
Reviewed By Glennda - Yakima, Wa | Traveled to Mediterranean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
This trip was one that we will treasure forever. Becky booked our vacation this year and it was perfect! Even when the airline canceled on us, Becky was right there working on a reschedule for us. She was able to get us booked on the very next flight and worked out perfect. The cruise she booked for us was the best cruise we have ever been on. The hotel she booked for us was in the perfect place for us to explore. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. It was 2 weeks of perfect! We will be ready to book our next vacation using Becky's services. Thank you Becky for a trip of a lifetime!

Reviewed By Kelcee2 - Yakima Washington | Traveled to Europe
Becky has been the absolute BEST help while planning and booking our trip. We’ve been planning this trip for a year and a half to get the best of the best out of our Europe summer. She’s been with us since day one making sure everything goes as perfect and smooth as possible. The day before our trip our flights got cancelled and before we could even panic Becky already had everything handled and made sure we were on new flights to our final destination. I would 100% recommend having Becky help with any trips in the future. We are so thankful for our time and the way everything worked out. Thanks again Becky!

"Thank you Kelcee! It was so much fun planning and working with you and your family. I'm so glad that your trip ended up being a great experience even with the canceled flight experience. I can't wait to work with you all again!"

Amazing family vacation!
Reviewed By Susie - Los Angeles | Traveled to Alaska | USA
I was overwhelmed with the amount of information and options for an Alaska cruise and Becky took that huge problem off my hands by presenting me with 2-3 great options that met my needs.
Becky Starnes responded
"I'm so glad you and your family had a wonderful trip! I appreciate your business and hope to work with you again soon. Thanks Susie!"

Fantastic experience!
Reviewed By Bhayes - Tacoma, wa | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
My wife and I went to Paris to celebrate her 60th birthday and Becky coordinated all of the tours, hotel and transfers. It was a flawless experience, they were really no issues to speak of and everything went very smoothly. The preparation from the trip was also easy. She sent me several options to choose from and once I made my choice she coordinated everything else. I would highly recommend her if you want a trip that you don't have to worry about.
Becky Starnes responded
"It was such a pleasure working with you to plan this celebration for your wife's birthday. I'm thrilled that you had a seamless experience and look forward to working with you again in the future! "

to and from hotels to airport was awesome.
Reviewed By MnMWA - Yakima Wa | Traveled to Puerto Vallarta | Jalisco | Mexico
Becky was very attentive to any possible needs we may have come across during the full extent of our trip. It made celebrating nearly 40 years of marriage the focus instead of being highly concerned with difficult or uncomfortable situations. We appreciated the ease she brought to the vacation’s equation.
Becky Starnes responded
"You were so much fun to work with! I truly enjoyed every interaction and look forward to working with you again! Thank you for booking with me and sharing your experience with others."
