About Me

Cliffs of Moher
Cliffs of Moher

As a Travel Agent living Florida I initially focused my education on the cruising industry considering I live in the cruising capital of the world.The last thing I expected was to have a niche like Ireland or Europe but, the requests came and my business quickly blossomed in that corner of the world. I have since turned my focus to learning all I can so that I'm better able to assist my clients with trips that help them create memories to last a lifetime. Are you ready to explore the magic of Ireland and Europe? As a Pro Travel Agent, I'm your partner in adventure. I'm obsessed with discovering hidden corners, experiencing local cultures, and creating unforgettable memories. Let me use my expertise and passion to plan a trip that exceeds your expectations.

Going on vacation is exhilarating. Planning one is exhausting. I’ll handle the details so you can just “Journey Somewhere”

Client for Life
Reviewed By M. Attanasio - Apopka, FL | Traveled to Caribbean
I'm so glad I booked my cruise with Brenda. It was uch a time saver having her handle everything for me and my family. The best part for me however; I had an issue that came up during my cruise. I texted her and she immediately went to work to make things right. She advised me to go on with my day since we had a shore excursion planned and by the time we got back to the ship it was all fixed. Had I not booked with her who knows how long it would have taken me to fix things. The fact that I didn't miss a single minute of my vacation to sort through an issue solidified the fact that I will never plan a trip on my own again. She earned a client for life.

Client Testimonials

The Cruise Full of ’Adventure’
Brenda was helpful and extremely responsive every step of the way. She is very detail oriented and made sure our trip was planned and executed perfectly. Nothing about planning our trip was stressful. Brenda took care of everything for us and was always available to answer questions and assist with booking. I’d recommend her to all of my family and friends and will be using her for future vacations too.
E & C Jones, Apopka FL
Scotland, Ireland
Great time. Tripit App was most useful getting around and having everything right on my phone. Suggested activities were all great. My golf outing will be probably my most cherished memory. Most everything went seamlessly. Some hiccoughs with airlines, but that was on them and/or the airport. Thanks for everything
James C. St. Cloud, FL
Cancer gone trip! Ireland Scotland
Best trip of my life!
C. Cokos, St. Cloud, FL
Italy, Spain Dream Trip
Brenda went way beyond the call of duty for us to make this trip so pleasurable for us. We will be recommending her to our friends and coworkers. She got us to where we wanted to go. She stayed in touch with us even though there was a six hour gap time frame she made sure we were where we were supposed to be and when we were supposed to be there

Amazing Trip and Travel Agent!!!!
Brenda was amazing throughout the entire process! After having issues with our previous agent, we were a bit hesitant to try someone new—but we’re so glad we did. Brenda kept us constantly updated and was always available to help when needed. It was such a breath of fresh air! At one point, we made a change to our reservation, and she reached out almost immediately to confirm it was us—that kind of attentiveness meant a lot. If you’re looking for a travel agent, I highly recommend her!
