About Me

Europe and Beach Destinations Specialist

I have been actively helping people plan their trips of a lifetime for over 25 years! I love working with new travelers and finding the best fit for their first  trip, like an all inclusive resort on a beautiful beach in Mexico, then continuing their travel journey to broaden out with an Alaskan cruise, a family group destination wedding, or a big European adventure, including touring and the best, a river cruise! I have enjoyed building on those relationships and continuing to find the right experience for all my clients, many of whom have used me for years. I started out in this industry because I am a born traveler in my heart. I love the feeling of seeing other lands, cultures and meeting local people. And I hold dear the memories I have had over the years of my travels. So decided to make it my goal to help my clients develop that same love of travel! There is nothing like memories of your first family cruise, or laying on the beach in some Caribbean island all inclusive resort with your friends and family and feeling your stress and cares of daily life float away! Travel is an escape and an adventure. Hopefully it changes the way we view others and creates better qualities in ourselves. I look forward to helping you experience all the wonderful benefits it holds for us who share this awesome planet we call home! Happy travels.

All inclusive Resort Specialist

My happy place...any beach!
My happy place...any beach!

I have spent years traveling to all the best all-inclusive resort areas. There are so many to choose from, but some of my favorites are Mexico, Dominican Republic and Jamaica. I visit Mexico and Caribbean beach destinations at least 4-5 times a year to tour new resorts and check out the different areas. I pride myself in knowing which resorts will fit my travelers needs, because l not only get to know them plus only recommend resorts I have personally been too. So whether it be a romantic honeymoon, family trip with the little ones, fun girlfriend getaway, or friends couples trip, I am confident I have the expertise to deliver a stress free vacation with all the travel arranged that you will love!

Years and years of travel fun thanks to Andrea!
Reviewed By Melanie - Stet, MO | Traveled to Mexico
She is the best of the best! She is always watching for deals and works very hard to match us with resorts and destinations that we enjoy. From the very beginning she has always ask lots of questions to make sure she was shopping with our priorities in mind. Now that we have worked with her for so many years she knows our preferences and always delivers with perfect matches. We have used Andrea extensively traveling to Mexico, DR, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Maine, Netherlands, France, Holland, Germany, and Switzerland. Every trip has been seamless...as we have never run into any hitches or ever felt lost or confused. Every detail is included and precisely planned. When traveling she was always available and helped without hesitation. She is always honest and upfront in describing the properties and has never been high pressure for certain resorts. She has been to every one suggested and is honest in her reviews of them. We will hopefully be using Andrea for years to come!!

She knocked it out of the park every time for us.
Reviewed By hjr2 - Kansas City | Traveled to Sweden | Europe
My wife and I have traveled many times on trips Andrea has put together for us and to be truly honest she has always been able to exceed our expectations. She listens to what we would like to see and do and then makes great recommendations based on her experience, to make the trip even better. She knows when to make the deals/reservations and when to wait. The other benefit Andrea brings is if there is a problem she's there to help with a solution. We highly recommend Andrea!

Awesome family trip!
Reviewed By J Stone - Kansas City, MO | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Andrea is the best to work with! We always have a large group (14+) to book for our family trips. From the beginning, she gave us lots of options and was so patient with us when we would change directions on where we wanted to go. She picked the perfect resort for our family vacation! I love how she checked in before, during, and after to make sure everything was going well. The resort was beautiful, food was great, the staff was so nice, and the beach was awesome! White sand, beach volleyball, turquois water, miles of beach to walk-Definitely an amazing time!!
