About Me

The Pitons, St. Lucia "view with a room"
The Pitons, St. Lucia "view with a room"

From a young age, I have been designing vacations for my friends and family. Travel guidebooks were always my reading genre of choice. Throughout my college career and beyond, I took every opportunity afforded to me to explore the world and connect with the cultures that I encountered.  

Europe

My very first overseas trip was in college on a whirlwind bus tour of Europe. We spent 3 weeks traveling to many countries and experiencing bucket-list opportunities like the Cannes Film Festival, seeing the Pope at the Vatican, and bike riding through the windmills in the Netherlands. I was forever changed by this trip. I have completed 6 trips to Europe along with a Mediterranean cruise having personal expertise in Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Croatia, Greece, and the Greek Isles.   

Caribbean

Who doesn't love that beautiful blue water of the Caribbean?!?!  Like many, my first experience with that amazing water was on a fun, fun, fun cruise ship! I have cruised 10 times on several cruise lines: Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and Disney. I love to help couples, families, and groups to find their best fit cruise vacation. I believe cruises are a wonderful way to get a sampling of the islands to determine where you want to come back for a longer visit.

My personal favorite Caribbean island is St. Lucia. I chose it for my honeymoon destination and have explored much of the island over the course of 6 visits to St. Lucia staying at 5 different resort properties.  I've visited many more! If you want to know how to best see St. Lucia, reach out to me!

Furthermore, in addition to St. Lucia, I have personally visited many resorts in Jamaica, Dominican Republic, and Cancun/Riviera Maya. I believe that my personal experience add great value to my ability to assist my clients.     

Disney World

With more than 25 visits to Walt Disney World, I specialize in custom designed theme park experiences. I know the parks and resorts like the back of my hand and use that experience to enhance my clients' vacation plans. I believe in staying abreast in the most recent changes to the parks and take pride in my continuing education of all things Disney and Universal.

Wendy has been the BEST! For 35 years I have dreamed of my upcoming trip to Italy. Wendy has created what I will always remember as two of the best weeks of a life! We've started talking about Scotland and Ireland as these destinations are next on my list! I recommend my hard working Wendy to anyone that wants a great travel experience from planning to actual travel and back home!

A trip to remember!
Reviewed By The Gomez Gang - Hoschton | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
Five stars and HIGHER for Wendy as a travel agent! From start to finish, the planning of our Hawaiian vacation was a breeze. Wendy answered every question I had and took the information I gave her and planned a trip that our family will always remember. Wendy's knowledge of the area was wonderful. She planned excursions for us based on our interests and we loved each and every one of them! Wendy is currently planning a Disney vacation for us. I look forward to returning in the future to plan yet another family vacation! I highly recommend Wendy LaPorte as your travel agent!!

Dream Vacations - affordable - no stress
Reviewed By LaLa - Charlotte, NC | Traveled to London ~ England ~ Europe
Wendy always goes above and beyond for planning our vacations! She takes everyone in our family in consideration when planning excursions. She shops around and gets us top rated resorts for much less than I could book on my own and makes the whole vacation planning process fun and takes all the stress out of it! We love to travel, but I hate to plan and have no patience or time for searching the internet for where to go or how to get there....Wendy is the BEST! I have recommended her family and friends and everyone agrees, she is amazing! Give her your wish list and she will make it happen!
