About Me

Amalfi Coast
Amalfi Coast

I am a European Cruise and Travel Specialist with a passion for creating seamless, personalized vacations for families, honeymooners, retirees, and curious travelers who want more than just a standard trip. My travel planning style is friendly, thoughtful, and highly personalized, with a strong focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience from the first conversation to the final day of travel.

My areas of expertise include European cruises, custom Europe itineraries, Costa Rica, South Africa, Cape Town, African safaris, Mexico all-inclusive resorts, the Caribbean, Puerto Rico, Montreal, Rome, the Amalfi Coast, Greece, and the Greek Isles. Whether my clients are dreaming of a romantic Mediterranean honeymoon, a multi-generational family cruise, a relaxing all-inclusive beach escape, a once-in-a-lifetime safari, or a food-and-wine-focused journey through Europe, I help match each traveler with the right destination, pace, accommodations, tours, and experiences.

I have deep knowledge of some of the world’s most beloved travel regions. In Europe, I especially enjoy helping travelers experience iconic destinations such as Rome, the Amalfi Coast, Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, and the Greek Isles, whether by land, cruise, or a combination of both. I love designing itineraries that balance must-see highlights with memorable local experiences, from private day trips and coastal drives to cooking classes, wine tastings, market visits, and neighborhood food tours.As a European cruise specialist, I help clients choose the right cruise line, itinerary, ship, cabin location, pre- and post-cruise hotel stays, transfers, shore excursions, and independent touring options.

I understand that the best cruise vacations often begin before embarkation and continue after disembarkation, so I enjoy building complete travel experiences around each sailing.Beyond Europe, I bring extensive destination knowledge to Costa Rica, where I help travelers experience volcanoes, rainforests, beaches, wildlife, hot springs, and adventure activities such as ziplining, rafting, surfing, and guided nature tours.

I also specialize in South Africa and Cape Town, along with African safari planning for travelers who want expert guidance on lodges, game reserves, wildlife viewing, pacing, comfort level, and the best combinations of safari, wine country, city stays, and coastal exploration.For travelers seeking relaxation, I help match clients with the right Mexico all-inclusive resorts and Caribbean destinations, including Puerto Rico, based on their travel style, budget, preferred atmosphere, beach quality, dining preferences, and activity level. I also enjoy planning city escapes to places like Montreal, where travelers can enjoy culture, history, walkable neighborhoods, and exceptional culinary experiences.Food and wine are a special part of how I plan travel.

I love arranging culinary experiences that help clients connect more deeply with a destination, including food tours, wine tastings, cooking classes, market visits, farm-to-table experiences, vineyard tours, local guides, and curated day trips. These experiences often become the highlight of a trip because they allow travelers to slow down, savor the destination, and create lasting memories.What I love most is helping people feel confident, cared for, and excited about their travels. Families appreciate my ability to think through logistics, pacing, hotel choices, transfers, and activities that work for different ages and interests. Honeymooners value my attention to romance, special details, beautiful settings, and effortless flow. Retirees enjoy having a knowledgeable, personable advisor who can simplify decisions, reduce stress, and create a trip that feels comfortable, enriching, and memorable.

My goal is always to make travel planning easier, more enjoyable, and more rewarding. I take the time to listen, understand each client’s priorities, and design trips that reflect who they are and how they want to experience the world. With a warm, approachable style and a deep love of travel, I help clients turn dream vacations into beautifully planned journeys filled with connection, discovery, great food, and unforgettable moments.

Testimonials I received

I highly recommend having Erin help you plan your travel." - Jeremy A.

Costa Rican Couples Getaway
Reviewed By ssmcclendan - Austin, Tx | Traveled to Arenal | Costa Rica | Central America
For our one year anniversary we wanted to get away but we aren't huge beach people so we reached out to Erin for ideas. We love tropical but not too hot and LOVE a good adventure. She got to work and started planning. We spent 9 days and 8 nights in Arenal, Costa Rica nestled in the rain forest and with an active daily erupting volcano. We were given a private cabin at the edge of a quaint and quiet property with a direct view of the Volcano. We sat on the patio each evening drinking our High Balls (local drink) and watching the sun set while the volcano was covered in glowing streaks of volcanic rock. We ate breakfast surrounding by local wildlife each morning, took a trip to the hot springs, the local town center and casino. We ate delicious local cuisine, imbibed and really enjoyed each other! The locals were amazing and we even walked away with a some additional understanding of the Spanish language. We will continue to lean on Erin for our next adventure! It did not disappoint.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fell in love with Italy!
Reviewed By CoMo - San Antonio, Tx | Traveled to Rome | Italy | Europe
I reached out to Erin to help plan a trip to Italy for my wife. Italy has been on her bucket list forever and with kids, work and life, we just have been too busy. With only a week of time to get away, Erin was able to plan a trip that not only showed us why everyone loves Italy, but gave us an experience above all others and WILL have us booking a trip back but with more time. She was able to plan "skip the line tours" through all the hot spots, ie. Vatican City, The Coliseum, etc. but then had us hop on a "high speed train" to the southern coast where we experienced the Amalfi Coast, fresh lemoncello, amazing southern italian cuisine, coastal ferry rides and a relaxing trip back to Rome. Her first hand perspective of the city was unique and amazing! Looking forward to her next adventure for us!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Playa con dios!
Reviewed By GratefulTina - Lucas, Tx | Traveled to Playa Del Carmen | Quintana Roo | Mexico
WE HAD A BLAST! I reached out to Erin to help with a 40th celebration for my best friend. I knew we wanted Mexico but Erin helped me narrow down the best areas with the criteria I provided and we landed on Playa del Carmen. It was perfect. Our hotel was amazing, the little town shopping area was just down the block and the beach was perfect! (Full disclosure: we had so much fun at the hotel pool we didn't spend much time at the beach but it was perfect when we did.) She made our dinner reservations for each evening since there were 12 of us. The vibe of the hotel she chose was exactly what we hoped for and overall, we had a perfect celebration for an even more perfect friend. Thank you!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Irish Eyes are Smiling
Reviewed By KMAnderson - Southlake, Tx | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
My entire life I thought I was Scottish but recently my husband and I tried a DNA ancestry type test and I discovered I was Irish! We researched and found Erin's information. Given her name actually translates to Ireland, we thought she was the obvious choice. We weren't wrong. Erin created a "first timers" itinerary for us to include all the hot spots. She arranged several day trips to include Blarney Castle, the Cliffs of Moher and of course, experienced a football game at an Irish Pub complete with a pint of Guinness (or two.) We will certainly go back to explore more and will absolutely lean on Erin as our trusted travel advisor.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

US Puerto Rico - Who knew?
Reviewed By TutorBeth - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to San Juan | Puerto Rico | Caribbean
My family procrastinated and we weren't able to receive our passports in time but still wanted to enjoy our annual summer vacation. Erin suggested Puerto Rico. We absolutely loved it! The town of San Juan was inviting, the locals were amazing and kind and the food was delicious! Plus, we were able to give back to a region still rebuilding. The walking food tour was FANTASTIC, just as she promised. We will be planning our next adventure with Erin.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Summer trip to Greece

Santorini felt like stepping into a dream I never wanted to wake up from. From the moment we arrived, everything seemed to glow—the whitewashed buildings, the deep blues of the sea, and the golden light that wrapped itself around every moment.We spent our days chasing experiences and our nights savoring every bite. The food alone was unforgettab...
