About Me

Ring of Kerry
Ring of Kerry

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.

Caribbean Cruise
Reviewed By Monkey25 - Minnesota | Traveled to Mexico
Linda was great to work with while planning our recent Caribbean Cruise. She even helped us book our cruise while she was on her own cruise! We sailed on the Norwegian Escape and loved the ports, going on a zip line and our tours. I would recommend Linda when you're looking to plan your next cruise.

Australia Adventures!
Reviewed By Eliza - St. Paul, Minnesota | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Linda was lovely to work with! We met a few times to chat about the types of activities we were interested in and any specific places we wanted to see or do on our trip. She made a draft itinerary that we gave our feedback on. She was very receptive and did a great job of responding to our feedback and personalizing our plans to create a trip that was tailored to us. We had a good mix of tours and activities! The snorkeling tour of the Great Barrier Reef was a highlight for me. Rottnest Island in Perth is also a must-see!
Linda Dorn responded
"I loved reading this! Thank you for being so great to work with throughout the planning process. Seeing the draft come to life with all of your feedback was the best part. I'm thrilled the Great Barrier Reef lived up to all your expectations and that Rottnest Island was such a hit! It sounds like you had an incredible time out there. It was truly my honor to plan such a special mother and daughter adventure!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

So glad we took this trip!
Reviewed By Shawna - Saint Paul, Minnesota | Traveled to Australia | Australia & New Zealand
We recently returned from a two-week trip of Australia, covering four different areas of the country. When I initially decided I wanted to travel in Australia, I was overwhelmed, not knowing where to start. Linda got the ball rolling for us right away, and she helped us to push forward and make our dreams reality. Linda is kind, supportive, and encouraging. She is a great listener, and she was prompt and attentive when following up on our questions. It was definitely a pleasure working with her!
Linda Dorn responded
"Thank you for such a thoughtful review. It was truly my honor to help you navigate the planning process and watch your Australian travel dreams take shape. It was a privilege to help you coordinate those different regions and ensure everything came together smoothly. I am so happy that I could be a part of helping you create these lifelong memories. I really enjoyed our time working together, and I look forward to hearing more about your travels soon."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Great car and hotel!
Reviewed By Deblulu - Newnan, Georgia | Traveled to Nampa | Idaho | USA
I have known Linda for many years and totally trust her so when she told me she was starting a new business, I didn’t hesitate at all to to use her. She researched to find the best hotel for my trip needs and a great car rental deal. I will definitely be using her for my next trip.
Linda Dorn responded
"Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, and for your kind words! Knowing that you trust me, and that I could deliver great value and service for your recent trip is incredibly rewarding. I was happy to help you find the best hotel to meet your needs and secure a fantastic car rental deal. It is always my goal to make the planning process easy and the travel experience wonderful for my clients. I look forward to assisting you with your next adventure!"
