About Me

Swimming with turtles in Kauai
Swimming with turtles in Kauai

My name is Samantha Baker, and I am excited to work with you! If you love to travel by plane, train, or car then I am your Dream Big Destinations travel agent. There is so much to explore not only in our own country but throughout the world as well. Experiencing the beauties of nature is my go-to when planning a trip. I want to go to as many national parks as possible and see as many of the 7 wonders of the world in my life. I love to hike, snow ski (since I was 2!), snow shoe, kayaking, paddle board, snorkeling, and swim in any body of water that I can. My favorite places that I have been are Hawaii, Banff National Park in Alberta Canada, Yellowstone, Glacier, Olympic National Park, Cannon Beach, OR and Italy. Currently I have visited 14 states (multiple from D1 track and field meets) and 3 countries. Traveling to sporting events is also a must in my books. In 2015 my family and I went to multiple games of the Women’s FIFA World Cup in Vancouver, BC and even saw the U.S. women’s national team win! Future sporting events we will be attending are one this summer my family and I are going to see multiple games of the Men’s FIFA World Cup, in 2028 the Summer Olympics in LA, and in 2034 the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. I am also an avid Disney fan and love visiting both Disney World and Disney Land. If you are ready for an experience of a lifetime then let me plan a trip for you!

Travel Agent That Doesn't Break the Bank

Do you want to travel without breaking the bank? Then let me help you plan your next trip. With the rising cost of air fair, gas, hotel prices, and food its difficult to be able to travel without spending a lot. After all money does not grow on trees. I love to travel and want to see as much of this world as possible. There are 3 things that I do to ensure on my trips that I get to see and do as much as possible while also not paying a fortune. 1) Travel in off season or not holiday weekends 2) Look for deals on acceptable accommodations (still need a clean and nice place to stay) 3) make a priority list of sites/events.Let me help you have that dream vacation without having to worry about all the cost so you can focus on making memories.

Winter in Banff

If you want to see the magic of Banff in the winter but without the crowds I suggest going in middle of November. Depending on the year you will get to experience the park with some snow but not too deep for those that don't care too much for winter. The temperature is also not as cold as in Jan. and Feb. But you still get that special magic of ...
