The planning can be complicated. Your trip shouldn’t be.

A vacation should give you something to look forward to. Whether you’re ready to take your first cruise, gather your favorite people for a getaway, or celebrate a milestone somewhere beautiful, I’m here to help you turn “we should go somewhere” into an actual plan.

I’ve been a travel advisor since 2020, and I’m the owner of YMB Travel Collective, based in Wilmington, Delaware. My focus is cruise and group travel planning, along with all-inclusive getaways. I help travelers sort through the choices, understand what they’re booking, and feel confident about their vacation.

Types of Travel I Plan

Cruises: Choosing a cruise involves more than picking a ship and a departure date. The cruise line, itinerary, cabin, dining, and onboard atmosphere all play a part in your experience. I help you compare those details and find a sailing that fits how you want to vacation.

Group Travel: A birthday trip, a women’s getaway, or a vacation with family and friends can be a wonderful way to spend time together. It can also mean coordinating different budgets, preferences, and expectations. I help bring those pieces together so the group has a clear plan.

All-Inclusive Getaways: For travelers who want to settle into one destination, I help compare resort options based on what matters to them, from dining and activities to the atmosphere and accommodations.

Who I Work With

I enjoy working with adults, couples, friends, and groups who value personal guidance and want help making sense of their options. First-time cruisers and group organizers are especially welcome. You don’t need to arrive with every detail figured out. That’s something we can work through together.

How I Work With You

I start by listening. What’s the occasion? Who’s coming? What’s your budget? What would make this trip feel worth it to you? Your answers guide my recommendations. I help you compare suitable options, explain important booking details, and keep track of deadlines and next steps. I want you to understand your choices and feel comfortable asking questions along the way.

My Experience and Approach

Since entering the travel industry in 2020, I’ve continued building my knowledge through travel education and supplier training, including Virgin Voyages First Mates training. As a cruise-focused advisor, I’m committed to learning about the differences between cruise experiences so I can help travelers make informed choices.What draws me to group travel is the opportunity to bring people together. The destination matters, but so does having time to connect, celebrate, and enjoy each other’s company.
