About Me

Concierge Travel Agent

Planting rice and working the fields in Myanmar
Planting rice and working the fields in Myanmar

I am a Concierge Travel Agent who has been helping families, couples, businesses and honeymooners plan wonderful vacations all over the world for over 25 years. I have traveled myself to Europe, Asia, Middle East, South American,  Caribbean, Mexico and all over the United States.  Along with my family I have visited and stayed at wonderful all inclusive properties in the Caribbean and Mexico.  Planning a FIT vacation to Europe or anywhere in the world you would like to go, is one of my specialties because I take the time to find out exactly what your interests are, along with how you like to travel and what your budget is.  You will not get a run of the mill tour when working with me.

Being a Concierge Travel Agent, I am available to you outside the regular business working hours. I know that in this day and age people are busy and need to talk to you both in the evenings and on weekends.  I will be with you before, during and even after your trip, should you need help with anything. Customer service is my number one goal in making sure that your trip is an amazing experience that goes smoothly and happily for you.

Best Honeymoon we could have ever Wished For!
Reviewed By newlyweds2026 - St Lucia | Traveled to St Lucia | South Africa | Africa
Andrea picked out an incredible destination for us. We had never heard of St. Lucia, and didn't even know where it was on a map! We told Andrea we wanted an all-inclusive stay on a beach resort (In September mind you). She had the perfect location. Just off the coast of South America, and far off the Hurricane Belt, was a tiny island of unparallel paradise. She booked us at the Halycon beach, a quiet but lively resort right on the Ocean. Incredible food, ambiance, and atmosphere. We encountered a travel hiccup along the way as our flight missed its leg, and we had to spend a night in Atlanta. Andrea was prompt with assistance and quick with solutions on the whim. She booked us an overnight stay at a 4* Hotel nearby and gave us guidance on what our Travel's Insurance Policy contained, plus what would be compensated back. When we returned from our Honeymoon, she assisted us with completing all necessary forms for refunds owed to us. The Honeymoon itself was breathtaking. Went horseback riding on the beach, snorkeling, toured city streets, and even traveled to an active volcano and bathed in volcanic ash! Resort itself had fantastic staff, was clean and elegant, and the cuisine was top notch! Thank you so much Andrea!
Andrea Amzaleg responded
"I was so disappointed for you, when you started messaging me about your flight delay. I am so glad we started making sure you had new flights and a clean and nice hotel to stay at near the airport, as soon as possible and even though you had to miss one day of your honeymoon, you both took it as what it was and nothing could be done. It has been a pleasure planning together with you and I can't wait to plan your next trip or maybe even your baby moon!"

great trip to the Canadian Rockies
Reviewed By KBH - Northbrook, Illinois | Traveled to Canada
My husband and I took a Tauck trip to the Canadian Rockies. We were celebrating his 65th birthday. We had a great time but do want to mention that a large part of the trip was spent on the bus driving through the mountains. While I think that Tauck does a good job, it is highly structured and I think my husband and I would have liked more activity than was offered. Also, Tauck is very inflexible regarding certain activities built into the trip such as the helicopter ride. While you aren't required to participate, you do pay for it without any alternative activity. We did not think too highly of this.
