About Me

Caribbean & Mexico, Destination Weddings & Groups

I am passionate about travel and want to help fulfill your Wanderlust!  You dream it, I make it happen.  I work with each client to tailor a personalized vacation that fits their wants and wallet.  My knowledge and experience allows me to save you time and eliminate the stress of researching and planning.  My dedication and service remains with you throughout your vacation and doesn’t end until you are safely home!

I am a full service agent and work with couples, families, singles and groups for travel in many countries and spend a great deal of time on group travel, including Destination Weddings.

I have been in the travel industry since 2016, although I have been an avid traveler for three decades.  My family, including my husband and our five children, also share my wanderlust.  While I love the a sandy white and clear blue sea, my favorite trip so far has been to Africa for safari.  A close second would be China and Japan!  Oh, and I certainly can’t forget fresh pasta in a piazza in Italy!

I hope you will trust me with travel and I look forward to working with you!

Class Reunion
Reviewed By One Happy Camper - Bel Alton, Md | Traveled to Vienna ~ Austria ~ Europe
The experience was great. Can't lie, was trying to do all on my own. Called Kelly and so glad we did! She was able to cut through all the BS and get us the flights and hotel for much less than I could. Everything went off without a hitch. Everyone had a wonderful time. Will use Kelly for our trips in the future
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Breathless is Breathless
Reviewed By Pam - Port Tobacco Maryland | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Kelly was great. She went over and reviewed each hotel that I was interested in with me and answered all my questions. What she didn't know she quickly researched and got back to me with the answer right away. The trip was fabulous just like she said it would be.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
