About Me

I have always been detail oriented, and it's no wonder that I naturally gravitated towards traveling. While I love finally arriving at my destination, I also greatly enjoy planning everything to make a vacation perfect. I look at the tiny details that can help to maximize travel time, enjoyment, plus luxury whether at a resort or on a cruise.

With over 20 years in the travel industry, I know how to craft the perfect vacation for you and your group! I specialize in various types of travel including:

  • family vacations
  • destination weddings
  • honeymoons
  • groups of all sizes

I prepare all-inclusive tours, luxury cruises, and other styles of travel throughout Italy, the Caribbean, and anywhere else your heart takes you!

I got into the industry through a friend, and I loved talking to new people and learning about the intricate details of their desired trip. I still have this passion today, and that is why I work individually with each client to ensure the best possible vacation.

One of my most memorable clients wanted a trip to Italy to celebrate her 25th wedding anniversary. To help enhance their momentous occasion, I booked specialty romantic dinners, prepared trips to the Vatican and surrounding areas, and did everything I could to ensure an amazing time. Knowing that I helped to make their anniversary incredible fulfills me more than any other career could!

One of my favorite personal vacations was a cruise from Venice to Barcelona with my husband. The cruise had everything we could ever want, and the stops were breathtakingly beautiful. However, Italy will always be my perfect destination due to the friendly and inspiring locals, sprawling history, and incomparable art.

I will work with you to make the preparation process easier than you have ever imagined. Booking on your own can lead to frustration, missed opportunities, plus the gamble of whether or not the selection is the best it can be. With my experience, you will get professional tips and insight to ensure that your vacation is better than great. Plus, I am always available should you need anything while away.

Let’s work together so that you can confidently prepare for your dream vacation!

"Hey, Connie!  Hope you are doing well.  Tim and I just got back from the cruise last night, and I wanted to send a quick note to let you know how much we appreciated your coordinating everything!  We had a wonderful time and were so relieved that our dinner reservations were perfectly coordinated.  You really thought of everything by getting us a hotel room for the night b

I love working with Connie!!! She understands our needs and modifies our trips based on our needs. She helped us relocated a member of our group last year who had her passport stolen and stayed up and on the phone and email until we could get her back on to the ship.

The best trip of my life!
Reviewed By Nancy K. - Greer, South Carolina | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Went on my first Collette Tour to Tuscany and Umbria. It was absolutely wonderful! The tour manager was fantastic and the trip was everything of my dreams. Connie was great with recommending and enrolling me in that specific small tour, and handling the transfers as well as the hotel upon my arrival. I was an anxious solo traveler until departure and meeting up with the tour but Connie was very helpful in alleviating my concerns. Highly recommend Connie for the services she provides.

Our first trip to Europe

Viking cruise was awesome. The Delta fly/stay package before the cruise was a great hotel and saved us a lot of money over the Viking air alone. Very happy!
