About Me

Africa and Group Travel Specialist

I have been creating exceptional vacation experiences since 1999.  I began my journey in the industry 26 years ago by attending the Harper College Travel Academy in Palatine, Illinois, for travel agents and meeting planners, graduating in 1999 while still employed at AT&T Communications.  I retired in 2004 and pursued my dreams of escorting group journeys worldwide.  I have also worked in both retail and wholesale at Fortune 500 travel companies, which gives me a well-rounded view of the industry and my clients' needs.   

On September 22, 2016, I opened the first African-American-owned brick-and-mortar travel agency store in the Chicago Austin community.  Along with my team, I offer full-service, customized group travel packages worldwide to meet all your needs.  We can service all your airfare, hotel, train, tour, and insurance needs in person, online, or via phone.

I customize international packages for your travel group's needs.  Special events at sea, all-inclusive resorts, and youth educational tours. Business incentive trips, LGBTQ, multi-generational, honeymoons, retreats, and reunions. We believe everyone can afford to travel.  I educate families and organizations about the advantages of planning, and with a payment plan, everyone can live their dreams of traveling worldwide.  

With every reservation that I complete, I give special attention to exactly what my clients are looking for and what is important to them.

Let me help you Stress Less and Travel More!

Charlie Chase, 2024 Punta Cana

Crystal understood the assignment. She not only walked us through booking our entire vacation but also helped us stay under budget by guiding us on the type of resort, room, and travel that fit the vibe my wife and I were looking for. Crystal also helped us find other affordable perks, such as VIP private transportation to and from the resort. Thank you, Crystal, for your service and for constantly following up with us on time.

Outstanding travel arrangements
Reviewed By Tim - Oak Park, IL | Traveled to Cannes ~ France ~ Europe
This was my first time working with Crystal. While working together to arrange this European trip (of 3 legs) there were several clues that she was very experienced in setting up international travel. The bottom line is that the arrangements were exactly what I wanted, but in addition to that Crystal is very nice, very easy to work with, and makes sure everything is covered. This was an important trip for me and all went very smoothly. I'll definitely be using her services in the future. Thanks Crystal!
