I believe travel should change you, not just where you go, but how you see the world and people. 

With over 20 years in law enforcement and a passion for service, I specialize in organizing meaningful travel experiences, including mission trips, group travel, and culturally immersive itineraries.

I coordinate teams traveling to serve with organizations like Agape International Missions, ensuring every detail, from flights to logistics, is handled with care and structure.

I also plan custom itineraries to destinations like Paris, London, and beyond for travelers seeking both purpose and exploration.

Whether you’re leading a group, planning a mission, or looking for a meaningful getaway, I help you travel with intention, so your experience leaves a lasting impact long after you return home.

Truly Magical!!
Reviewed By DisneyFan826 - Texas | Traveled to Anaheim | California | USA
Dawn made our trip truly Magical!! Our family of 3 had a very last-minute opportunity to travel to California. Going to Disney crossed our minds since we’d be traveling with our child, but being so last minute (less than 2 weeks) we didn’t think it would be possible. We were referred to Dawn by a family member. We explained the situation and answered some questions for her and within just a couple of hours she sent us information and quotes that were extremely helpful and less pricy than what we had found online. She gave us advice and brought things to light and gave us ideas/recommendations that we hadn’t even thought of. We committed to going and she took it from there. She planned everything! Based on the activities we liked, what kind of food foods we enjoyed and our child’s age she came up with an itinerary. It full of useful information and hacks that we never would have known. It was so stress free and easy. If I had known this is what it was like to work with a travel agent I would’ve been using her services my entire adult life! All we had to do was show up and enjoy the many magical moments. Our entire trip was awesome and we can’t thank Dawn enough for her professionalism, knowledge and willingness to be there for us before, during and after our trip. I’ve already referred her to several family and friends. Thank you Dawn…can’t wait to work with you again very soon!!

"Vanessa and Family, It was an honor to plan Maxim's first trip to Disneyland, and thank you so much for trusting me with your family's magical adventure. I look forward to working with you and your family again, to plan Olivia's first Disney Adventure. You were a delight to work with, and I loved seeing the memories you made. Thank you for blessing me with photos of your trip. Thank you again for choosing me to help plan your family Disney Adventure. Blessings, Dawn"

Bucket List Trip
Reviewed By Nicole - Reno, NV | Traveled to New York City | New York | USA
I had a bucket list of things I wanted to see and do in NYC with absolutely zero idea where to start, stay, or what the best way to tackle the city was. I sent over the hotels I was interested in to Dawn, as well as must see/do events. Dawn built us a custom itinerary that allowed us to have a day planned out that made the most sense, along with the best method of transportation to get to and from our events. I use her for alllll of my travel planning and refer her to anyone looking.

Awesome Alaska cruise
Reviewed By Ten32taz - Sparks NV | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Dawn took care of booking our Disney Alaska cruise aboard the Wonder. seven glorious days at sea with stops is Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan. She provided cost effective alternatives to the ship excursions that were a blast. She arranged a quick stop at the suspension bridge in Vancouver the day before cruising and it was very cool. Alaska is not a one and done, so we will definitely be using Dawn again for booking our next Alaska cruise.

My Travel Stories

More Than a Mission Trip: Why I keep coming back.

I first traveled to Kenya in the summer of 2021 as part of a mission team from my church serving with Missions of Hope International (MOHI). It was my first year serving there, and I never could have imagined how deeply Kenya—and the people I met—would become woven into my heart and life. I have returned every year since.
