About Me

Family Vacation Maui
Family Vacation Maui

Travel isn’t just something I do, it’s how I serve, connect, and create unforgettable experiences for others.

As a Houston-based luxury travel advisor with Almeda Travel, I specialize in designing seamless, elevated travel experiences for families, couples, and groups who want more than just a trip. My clients come to me for curated, stress-free planning that turns their vision into a well-executed journey from start to finish.

With a strong foundation in operations, strategy, and client service, I bring both precision and creativity to every itinerary. Backed by decades of industry expertise through our agency, I understand how to navigate the details that matter most—so you don’t have to.

What I Specialize In:

  • Luxury vacations & curated getaways
  • Group travel (milestone birthdays, destination weddings, retreats, and celebrations up to 50+ travelers)
  • Family travel (including multi-generational and kid-friendly luxury experiences)
  • Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, Europe, and international destinations
  • Custom “Vision Board” itineraries that bring your trip to life before you travel

My personal travel experiences—from hosting a 100-guest destination wedding in Mexico to exploring Italy, Hawaii, and the Caribbean—allow me to guide my clients with real insight, not just research. I understand how different destinations feel, and I design trips that match the experience you’re truly looking for.

As a wife, mother, and traveler, I also understand the unique needs of families. Traveling with children doesn’t have to be overwhelming. I help families move beyond basic vacations and into meaningful, well-planned experiences that are enjoyable for everyone.

Beyond travel, I am deeply rooted in my community and leadership, proudly serving as a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. My approach to travel reflects that same commitment—intentional, elevated, and people-centered.

You may also know me as The Mom & Traveler, where I share real travel experiences, tips, and inspiration to help others see what’s possible.

Why Clients Choose Me:

  • Personalized, concierge-level service
  • Clear communication and expert guidance
  • Strong industry relationships and trusted partners
  • Thoughtful planning that eliminates stress and saves time
  • A proven process that delivers results

Travel is an investment, and you deserve to get it right.

If you’re ready for a travel experience that is intentional, seamless, and unforgettable, I would love to help you plan it.

Let’s start designing your next journey.

15th Wedding Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By R. Snipe - Miami, Florida | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
I have finally caught up to reality, and wanted to say "Thank You" for helping us to plan a perfect vacation for our 15th wedding anniversary.

Italy was wonderful! Both hotels were perfect, and the transportation service was excellent.

Though we had one minor off experience with the staff at the tour company, the tours themselves were pleasant and informative. Additionally, the tour guides were funny and engaging.

Again, thank you to Almeda Travel!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Simply amazing!
Reviewed By Ronnie - Missouri City, TX | Traveled to Rome ~ Italy ~ Europe
I absolutely appreciated Detra and her work ethics from the very beginning to end. She was very informative and detailed about the trip down to the small details. After talking with other ladies during our Italy trip I feel like she held every woman's hand at some point to ensure their experience would be amazing and smooth as possible if she could help it.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Cocktails in Rome

There’s nothing like great food, cocktails, conversation, and a sexy atmosphere. This is exactly what I wanted during my summer stay in Rome. Prior to my departure I did some research to find where to go for this exact cultural vibe. I’m a strong believer in Instagram searches, as they show the real deal of people enjoying themselves at differen...

Family Adventure Vacation - Maui

Aloha!!! For 6 days my family and I went on an adventure family vacation in Maui.

We even brought grandma along for the adventure and to help us as needed. I am a strong believer that a family vacation does not have...
