I'm passionate about sharing the world with you

Your time is valuable and you shouldn't have to spend it searching for the right vacation. I would love to quickly find the perfect match. I can match you with the travel experience you actually want, not the ones you saw online, everything looks good there. There is a difference between travel inspiration and actual travel desires. Your friends or others travel may not actually be ideal for you personally. I can help you define what it is you want to get out of a vacation.

The best cruise we didn’t get to go on!

Reviewed By Janice - Gresham, OR | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA

Drenda was very responsive in finding exactly what we were looking for in our Alaskan cruise. She also asked questions about aspects we hadn’t considered to help us plan our vacation. She was great to work with! Sadly, Covid prevented us from going on the cruise, but look forward to working with Drenda again.

Great Beach Getaway!

Reviewed By Vic Farnes - Wilsonville, OR | Traveled to Gleneden Beach ~ Oregon ~ USA

I had the pleasure working with Drenda. I saw this cute beach house on her FaceBook page and wanted more information about the property. She was quick to respond to all my questions and she had it booked right away for us. I usually booked my own vacations or getaways myself. It was nice to have it all done by Drenda. Everything I needed was emailed to me. I highly recommend Drenda for your travel needs!

Customer Testimonials

Affordable Getaway!

I wanted an affordable, last minute getaway with my family. My husband and I are overwhelmed educators and the idea of staring at a screen trying to find a location that met all our hopes sounded like one more task. Thankfully Ms. Adventure Travel took that task off our hands and presented us with multiple options. We were able to accept the proposal and get on our way! We had an incredible getaway!!
