About Me

Travel Agent Advisor Professional

Ready for some excitement? Welcome! A travel agent helps you with our knowledge of different destinations and the best deals that can be found. You can't decide where to go or what to do! That’s where I come in! I can help you plan everything from beginning to end. It has been my pleasure to arrange trips for my family and friends. Something I love is putting together trips and my groups have consisted of as many people. I had the unique opportunity to live on the idyllic isle of Bermuda. I even obtained my Bermudian drivers license, which wasn't easy considering they drive on the opposite side of the road! So, if Bermuda is the site of your dream vacation, I would be happy to help you carry out this desire. I have explored most sites on and off the beaten path. You can arrive by air or cruise ship, so the choice is yours! So enough about me, let's talk about your plans to embark on your next vacation. Talk soon!

Jamaican Me Relaxed!
Reviewed By Solo and Relaxing - Atlanta, Georgia | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
I decided to try Jamacia out after hearing many positive reviews on the island. I've never used a travel advisor before but I glad I did because Denise exceeded my expectations! I was traveling solo so I chose to stay in an all-inclusive in Montego Bay. My job is very stressful, so I want to lounge on the beach and eat good food and sip on some exotic cocktails! I experience that and more! Will call Denise when I'm ready for my next get away...probably to Europe.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Reviewed By Happily Married Now! - Aurora, Colorado | Traveled to California | USA
Denise arranged my bachelorette party get away for 12 of my friends and family. We decided on going to California because of the many different activities available. I can say it was fabulous trip! Can't talk about what we did but I can tell you we all had a blast and will be talking about this for a long time! Thanks, Denise, for a job well done!

All Aboard for a Train Ride
Reviewed By Train Fan! - Tampa, Florida | Traveled to Brussels | Belgium | Europe
With Denise's guidance, I took the train from Amsterdam to Brussels and honestly, it reminded me why I prefer rail over flying. Boarding was painless, the seats had actual legroom, and the ride was quiet and the space roomy. Denise suggested I upgrade for extra leg room and access to lounge. The scenery was a bonus—rolling fields, small towns, and long stretches of green that made the hours pass quickly. Thanks for a great experience!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
