About Me

Napa Valley Wineries
Napa Valley Wineries

Group travel can be incredibly meaningful, but it also comes with a lot of moving parts. I specialize in planning group trips that feel organized, thoughtful, and enjoyable without putting the burden on one person to manage everything.

I work with families, friends, and organizations planning group vacations, celebrations, and shared experiences. From coordinating travel details and accommodations to managing group logistics and timelines, my role is to make the process feel clear and manageable from the very beginning.

I plan group travel for a variety of occasions, including milestone birthdays, anniversaries, multigenerational family trips, wellness and spa getaways, cruises, and all-inclusive resort stays. Whether your group is looking for relaxation, connection, or a mix of both, I help match you with the destination and style of trip that fits your goals.

When you work with me, you do not have to act as the group organizer or go-between. I handle communication, reservations, and important details so everyone knows what to expect and feels confident about the plan. I also assist with rooming strategies, payment timelines, and group-specific perks when available.

I specialize in group travel to destinations such as Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and the Bahamas, as well as select domestic locations like Arizona. I work with trusted partners and suppliers to ensure the experience feels smooth, well coordinated, and enjoyable for everyone involved.

If you are considering a group trip and want it to feel organized without being overwhelming, I would love to help.

To get started, click Email Me and share your group size, destination ideas, travel dates, and the type of experience you are hoping to plan. I will guide you through the process and help bring your group trip together with ease.

Fantastic Couples trip!
Reviewed By Cwall - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Playa Mujeres | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Our couples trip to Mexico was absolutely perfect...from start to finish, everything was seamless! When I reached out to Sam with a few ideas and locations, she went above and beyond, providing detailed options, multiple flight itineraries, and a range of budgets to make sure it worked for every couple. Planning a group trip can be overwhelming with so many moving parts, but Sam made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free. Because of her, we were able to truly relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about a single detail. Everyone had an amazing time, and we’re already talking about planning the next one! We can’t wait to book again (I may have even convinced some of the couples to travel even more haha)..thank you so much!

Amazing trip!
Reviewed By Lisa - Arlington heights, IL | Traveled to Dominican Republic | Caribbean
Samantha made our trip for 4 adults and 6 teens memorable. She was thoughtful about the options she presented and was willing to pivot with additional ideas when we changed our minds. The resort was very clean with excellent service and manage to keep the teens entertained! We loved our trip.

Great All Inclusive for Large Family
Reviewed By Sam R. - Arlington Heights, IL | Traveled to Dominican Republic | Caribbean
My family of five, and our friend’s family of five, wanted an all-inclusive experience that had suites large enough to accommodate us. The resort Sam found was amazing and our accommodations were perfect for us. Each family of five had a suite with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a living space. The resort felt very safe and our six teens (13-18) were able to explore, swim, and go to restaurants on their own. The resort was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We did a snorkeling excursion one day, which was a lot of fun. The pools were great and the beach area had lots of seating with umbrellas and beautiful Caribbean water. Samantha was incredibly helpful in finding us the perfect travel destination! We were pretty specific with what we were hoping to find and she gave us lots of different location options to consider. Once we narrowed that down, she found us a resort that would work perfectly for our larger families. She was with us every step of the way and provided everything we needed for safe and efficient travels. I would definitely recommend Samantha!

Relaxed Family Vacation
It has been a blessing working with Sam for our summer travel. I have an active 6-year-old and also wanted a trip for myself. With Sam’s help, we found the Pasea Hotel and Spa in Huntington Beach, California and it was perfect!! She helped us secure a $100 resort credit and daily breakfast credit. The resort had a pool with a beach right across the street and it’s in relatively close proximity to LAX, Irvine, Legoland, Disney and Universal. The hotel is also right next to a beautiful outdoor shopping and restaurant area that was fun to explore. Sam took the time to ensure I had everything I needed when booking the trip and leading up to the trip. I can honestly say that if I had not worked with her our summer travels would not have been as enjoyable. I’m truly grateful for Sam and will definitely continue to work with her for our travels needs!
