About Me

Sabi Sands Safari
Sabi Sands Safari

Are you a big adventurer, or want to become one?  I'm a firm believer that bucket list trips can happen at any stage of life.  Why wait? 

If you're ready to venture further from home, I have you covered.  Maybe it's sipping wine in South Africa, or spotting the Big Five in East Africa, let me take the stress out of planning that African adventure you've always dreamt about.  Planning an African Safari is one of my favorite trips to design.  

If you're looking to plan an epic honeymoon that makes your spouse absolutely swoon, look no further than Tahiti, where ultimate relaxation meets post card views.  Maybe you're more adventurous or active, and prefer to tackle some outdoor enthusiasts destinations like Peru or New Zealand!

Let's not forget about Asia, where culture meets adventure. Let me help put together that perfect land itinerary through the gem of Asia - Japan!  Perhaps a relaxed vibe splashed with fantastic beaches is more your pace?  We can consider Indonesia or Thailand for the ultimate combo of chill and adventure.    

Let me take on the challenge of planning your exotic escape. The most important part of my job is creating a personalized and customized vacation experience, and making vacation planning easy and accessible.

Best trips ever.
Reviewed By Lil - Lenexa, Kansas | Traveled to New Zealand ~ Australia & New Zealand
I have worked with Erin on 2 major trips, the first to South Africa and most recently to New Zealand. Simply could not ask for a better experience in working with her. She has been through in obtaining a clear understanding of our travelling goals, investigates a selection of well researched options and presents them to us and finds answers to our many queries. And then, she efficiently books the details we requested....bonus!!! Erin is a great example of a professionalism and personalized service in travel and the complexities it entails in today's world.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A very memorable family vacation!!
Reviewed By Jennifer - Kansas City, MO | Traveled to Nassau ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Erin was so very helpful in planning our family vacation. She gave me wonderful tidbits of info on each resort she presented us, pros and cons of many things that I would have never thought of. She kept in contact thru email throughout the whole process. She is very on top of everything. I would recommend her to anyone planning a vacation whether it be a short trip or a long one. She has been to so many places and can give you wonderful do's and dont's on locations. Can't wait to have Erin start planning our next trip!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best river cruise
Reviewed By European traveler - Kansas City, MO | Traveled to Russia ~ Russia & Northwest Asia
We booked our Waterways of the Czars River Cruise through Erin. She secured the exact dates we wanted on the Viking Akun (rated #1 among the four Russian Viking river boats). We loved the cabin she was able to get for us at the front of the boat where it was very quiet. She handled all the necessary transfers and excursions for us making this our most relaxing European trip ever! Without a doubt we will book through Erin again!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Magnificent Machu Picchu

Wonders of Peru

Looking for a life changing adventure?  Consider Peru!  One of my favorite trips of all time was exploring this magnificent country.  The food.  The people.  The culture.  Peru offers a uniqueness that is often under estimated.    If you think Peru is only for those wanting to camp or hike for days on end, think again!  There are countles...
