Hi, I’m Retha Charette—an adventure traveler, Disney enthusiast, and seasoned expert in creating unforgettable journeys. With over 15 years of experience in the travel industry as a Guide, Writer, Nanny, and Travel Agent, I’ve planned and experienced adventures across six continents. From climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and cruising to Antarctica to hiking the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu and going on safari in Kenya, I bring firsthand knowledge and a passion for exploration to every trip I plan.

Whether you’re flying solo, planning a family getaway, or organizing a much-needed girl’s trip, I’m here to take the stress out of travel planning. As your Travel Agent, you’ll have the benefit of working with someone who knows how to find the perfect hotel, connect with top-notch tour operators, and uncover hidden gems in your dream destination. My extensive on-the-ground experience ensures your vacation will be seamless, unique, and tailored to your vision.

And while I’ve trekked remote trails in Nepal (and beyond), I’m also a true Disney aficionado! Having visited 10 of the 12 Disney parks worldwide over the last 35 years, I know how to create the most magical Disney experiences. From insider tips on the best rides to securing those hard-to-get dining reservations, I’ll guide you through every step of planning your dream Disney trip.

Let’s make your next adventure unforgettable!

She made my Disney World trip a breeze by handling all the logistics, providing several options within my budget, and making expert recommendations. The biggest game-changer has been her dedication—she’s up early securing party tickets and dining reservations. Thanks to Retha, my Disney World vacation has been stress-free and magical." -Megan T

Best Sweet 16 Surprise
Reviewed By Runawaymusbus - Spokane, wa | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
I wanted to make my daughter's 16th birthday one to remember with a surprise trip to Japan! I knew juggling logistics, hotels, trains, skiing; all while keeping it a secret, was something I could not do alone. Retha helped plan everything. She was a joy to work with. A positive light figuring out all the obstacles. Honestly I am deeply grateful for her knowledge, capabilities and friendship. Use her! Retha will make your trip magical!

A magical Disney Vacation
Reviewed By M. Rowe - Orlando, FL | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
I am so glad I reached out to Retha about helping us plan our Disney. I don’t know where to begin! From the moment we reached out, I felt a personal touch from Retha. From the start, she wanted to get to know us and our interests to help better plan the perfect Disney vacation! It was such a relief to have someone who knows the ins and out of the Disney parks and resorts! We greatly appreciated her spending time to send out different options for lodging, food, and park days. We ended with 3 days at Disney, one day at Universal, and two “rest days”. We stayed at Pop Century Hotel. We were able to have a great time with the budget we planned for! We also appreciated Retha booking reservations early in the morning for high interest activities 60 days before our trip. She also gave advice for options for date night! Any question we had, Retha either knew the answer to or got back to us the same day with an answer. She made planning. A week long Disney trip with 2 adults and 2 teens a
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wonderful family trip!
Reviewed By Shelley - Winhall, VT | Traveled to Orange Park | Florida | USA
Retha planned an amazing trip for my family! She booked our flights, reserved a rental car, our hotel and our tickets to Universal Studios and Universal Island of Adventure. We didn't have to worry about anything with Retha's careful planning. She was always available for questions and quick to respond when we reached out. If you want your trip to be effortless so you can relax and enjoy every minute, we highly recommend using Retha as your travel agent.

Snorkeling with Manta Rays in Hawaii

Snorkeling with manta rays off the Big Island of Hawaii is one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. As night fell and we slipped into the dark ocean, lights beneath the surface illuminated the water and began to draw in clouds of plankton. Almost immediately, massive manta rays emerged from the darkness, gliding effortlessly through...
