About Me

In an era of endless internet tabs, why choose a professional? Because your time is the one thing you can’t get back.

When you book with me, I handle the hours of research and logistical "puzzle-building" so you don’t have to. Beyond saving you time, I bring global purchasing power and service offerings. Through my direct contacts with suppliers, my Host Travel Agency, and Travel Consortium, I often have access to promotions and perks you won't find on public sites.

Most importantly, I am your advocate. If a land tour schedule shifts, a hotel reservation has a hiccup, or a logistics plan needs a quick pivot, you don’t have to spend your vacation on hold with a 1-800 number. You call me, and I use my direct lines to the suppliers to get things back on track so you can get back to your vacation.

Hawaii Trip.
Reviewed By Helen - Gulfport, Mississippi | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
I'm the mother of a disabled son. My last trip with him was a disaster. Linda made sure the trip was as easy as possible. She thought of many things I would not have thought as far as traveling disabled. My sons disability is a degenerative one, and this is probably his last trip. On his bucket List was an opportunity to see the Pearl Harbor Memorial, and the Grave of his great uncle who is buried at the Pacific Rim Memorial Cemetery since he died on Iwo Jima. Thank you, Linda, for making it as easy as possible. I can't say enough how awesome it was working with you.
Linda Dorn responded
"Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. Knowing what this trip meant to you and your son makes my work deeply personal and meaningful. It was a complete honor to help make this bucket-list wish come true to visit Pearl Harbor and honor his great-uncle at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. Thank you for placing your trust in me for such an important journey—working with you both was an absolute privilege, "

The best service from a travel agent we ever could have asked for.
Reviewed By Linda - Minneapolis Mn | Traveled to Oahu Island | Hawaii | USA
She was on top of our needs every step of the way. She checked with us daily. It was above and beyond expectations.
Linda Dorn responded
"Thank you for the kind and wonderful review! It was such a pleasure planning your Hawaii trip. Between keeping an eye on Hurricane Lowell and ensuring the getaway was fully accessible for a very special person in your party, my priority was handling the logistics so you could simply relax, focus on making memories, and enjoy the resort. I'm so happy it exceeded your expectations. Thank you!"

So helpful to have a guide!
Reviewed By Just getting started - Lakeville, MN | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
I have little experience with overseas travel, and always had someone else helping me with arrangements. Having Linda help with choosing the trip and taking care of the details was fabulous! Everything about the experience was positive for me.
Linda Dorn responded
"Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was truly my absolute pleasure to help you plan your trip. Stepping into overseas travel can feel like a big leap, so I'm thrilled I could take the stress out of the details and make the entire experience so positive for you."
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Vegas, baby!
Reviewed By Mikey - St. Paul, MN | Traveled to Las Vegas | Nevada | USA
Trip was surrounding the Kenny Chesney show at the Sphere. We already had show tickets, but didn't have time to put together the hotel and flight. We reached out to Linda to make it happen. Linda gave us great options, recommendations for timing to get the best deal, and even a heads up when it was being anticipated rates were changing to save us some cash!
Linda Dorn responded
"Thank you so much! Handling the logistics so you could just focus on experiencing the Sphere was an absolute pleasure. I'm so glad I could leverage my travel networks to grab those exclusive promotions and save you some cash. Thanks for trusting Northstar Journeys by Linda!"
