About Me

European, Family, and Accessible Travel Specialist

Mont-Saint-Michel, Normandy, France (July 2023)
Mont-Saint-Michel, Normandy, France (July 2023)

I began traveling across the US and Mexico with my parents when I was four years old and have had wanderlust ever since!

My travels have taken me extensively over the East Coast of the United States covering historical cities like Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Charleston, and Savannah, as well as covering much of the Southeastern US, Tennessee, Texas (including a hop across to Mexico), wine country in California, Chicago, and Seattle. I have cruised the Caribbean visiting many lovely islands and completed a service project in Jamaica while living and working in the community. My travels through Europe include much of England, Scotland, and France while also visiting friends in Belgium and visiting the Netherlands and Germany.

All of this is to say that when I decided to leave my previous career in 2025 to start my own travel advising company, I did so with the heart of adventurer that loves people, their culture, their history, their food and wine, and truly enjoys seeing others do the same! I have booked my travel for myself and our family of four for nearly 20 years so I am well-versed in how to travel with family so that everyone can enjoy themselves. 

I also have FSHD (Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy) which causes a lot of weakness in my legs and over various parts of my body. When I travel, I use a three-wheeled walker for stability and endurance. I share this with you so that everyone with mobility issues understands my perspective on designing accessible travel. We can adventure across the world, ski, SCUBA dive, traverse trails through the mountains as well as enjoy sunning ourselves on the beach, and cruise across the seas... if you know where to go and how to get there. 

Wherever your adventure takes you, from the mountains to the seas and anywhere under the sun, I would be honored to help you!

Birthday cruise trip
Reviewed By Baby - Salem, VA | Traveled to Mexico
Mollie did a great job for us. From the hotel reservations before the cruise to the cruise plans itself. She selected the perfect rooms on the ship. She kept us informed on all aspects of the trip. She had the ship decorate our room for my birthday and gave us a bottle of champagne to celebrate. I would highly recommend her to friends.
Mollie Garrett responded
"It brings me special joy to create celebration trips and this one was extra special! Thank you for sharing photos of the birthday decorations the cabin steward put in your stateroom. Being able to select just the right pre-night hotel, finding the perfect stateroom on the ship, and adding magic to your journey is my favorite part of what I do! I'm looking forward to continuing to design special journeys for you and your husband with the trips we have already created together!"

Excellent trip
Reviewed By Nancy - Norfolk, Va | Traveled to Bruges | Belgium | Europe
Mollie is a pleasure to work with! She listens to your wants and desires and suggests very good excursions and events. I had a small mixup in the timing and she was able to help me figure it out, regardless of the time difference. I was on European time and she was on EST yet she was pleasant and helpful! The lodging she booked was in a very convenient to the city and the Christmas Markets which made getting around easy. The app she uses is easy to learn and very helpful when finding tickets and locations. Great planner and I will use her again!
Mollie Garrett responded
"Thank you, Nancy! I'm so glad you felt supported every step of the way and that despite the time difference I could keep your trip stress-free. Finding the right lodging location is one of the little details can make such a big difference in the overall experience. I'm also happy to hear my app helped to make your travel as seamless as possible. I loved planning this experience for you and would be thrilled to help again whenever your next adventure calls!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A Truly Exceptional End-to-End Travel Planning Experience
Reviewed By Melissa B - Chesapeake, VA | Traveled to Asheville | North Carolina | USA
Working with our travel planner, Mollie Garrett, was an absolute delight from start to finish. Her intake process alone set the tone for how thoughtful and efficient she is. With just a short list of well-chosen questions—and in an impressively brief amount of time—she was able to recommend three completely different vacation scenarios, each one perfectly aligned with our budget, our travel dates, and the specific needs of our family. It felt like she understood us immediately. Once we chose our destination, she didn’t just finalize the basics and move on. She went above and beyond, crafting a bespoke list of activities that matched our vacation hopes precisely. Considering our short lead time and the very specific experience we were hoping for, I know this couldn’t have been easy. Yet she handled everything with such ease and confidence that it felt almost magical. At no point did I feel pressured to stretch our budget or compromise on the things that mattered most to us. Instead, she created a plan that honored every priority we had for our family time together. The result was a truly unforgettable trip near Asheville, VA. We stayed in a beautiful vacation home stocked with gourmet food from a local market, spent miles on hiking trails, enjoyed hours of peaceful fishing, listened to music by the hot tub, and savored plenty of old-fashioned “doing nothing” together. These are memories we’ll carry with us for years. If you’re looking for someone who listens deeply, works efficiently, and delivers a personalized experience that feels effortless, she is the travel planner you want by your side.

Spending the day at Mont-Saint-Michel

Our day at Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, France was nothing less than enchanting! Just two weeks prior to our visit, this magnificent place celebrated their 1,000th birthday! As we drove through the countryside in Normandy that morning, we could begin to see the faint mount on the horizon. The morning mist was clearing as we approached a...
