Our Team
Real planners, real specialties
I couldn't do all of this alone, and honestly I wouldn't want to. The advisors I work with each have a corner of the travel world they know cold — one lives and breathes Disney, another can't get enough of cruising, another is the person you want planning a big family trip. When you reach out, you get matched with whoever fits your trip best, so the person planning your vacation actually loves the kind of trip you're taking.

How we work
The idea is simple: match you with the advisor who fits your trip. You don’t get handed off to whoever’s available — you get the person who genuinely knows the kind of vacation you’re planning. Magical memories make the best souvenirs, and getting you there starts with putting the right planner in your corner. Reach out and we’ll point you to the one who’s right for your trip.
Why Not Just Book Online
Same Price. Very Different Experience.
You're probably wondering whether an advisor actually saves you anything. Fair question. The honest comparison, every moment of the trip: you with a booking site, versus you with me in your corner. The cheap booking is the expensive one when the trip goes sideways.
One thing I'll always be up front about: there may be a planning fee for my time and expertise. The commission is already in the cost of the resort or cruise price, whether you use me or not. The cruise line or resort just keeps my portion if you book directly, and they give you no extra guidance or help. I work for you, not the cruise line or the resort. I will always have your best interests in mind, and everything is customized specifically to you. Have questions, need more information, have concerns? I'm here to help with all of it! Many of the upgrades and money I help you save, more than covers my planning fee too, and you get my expertise and help every step of the way. Booking online, you get the same base price, none of the perks, and no one in your corner when something breaks.

One call. I already know the resort, the ship, the right month, the right room class. I send 1–2 vetted options.
