For some travelers, there's nothing better than an all-inclusive vacation because it means spending more time lounging on a white-sand beach (with a drink in hand, of course), snorkeling among colorful fish, splashing in the pool, or dining out with loved ones without ever having to reach for a wallet.

Lots of clients come to me searching for this type of trip but don't know where to start. Best destinations with wonderful all-inclusive offerings? We usually start here:

📍Mexico
📍Antigua
📍Dominican Republic
📍Jamaica

Contact me to get started on yours!

Newly engaged? 💍👰🏻‍♀️
My first piece of advice when brides ask for wedding planning advice is to hire help. Sure, you can do it all on your own but your big day is so much more enjoyable if you hire a planner or coordinator.

Same goes for the honeymoon. Your honeymoon is likely going to be your first real chance to enjoy quality time with your spouse. And just like a wedding, a good honeymoon starts with the planning.

While you worry about wedding dresses, cakes and the table settings, I’ll take care of the flights, accommodations and tours to make your honeymoon just the thing to help you recharge and reconnect.

A few of my favorite 2021 travel moments 🌎

Where will 2022 take you? What destinations are on your list? 👇🏼

💯

This goes for every itinerary I build too - I always include unique restaurants you won’t find at home.

Overwater bungalows just a 3.5 hour flight from NC? Yes please. Message me to get you booked at this hidden gem 🤩

Family owned and operated and so welcoming!

Happy thanksgiving!

For each of you who has trusted me with your special plans, referred me to your friends and family, and supported me in my first year of business…

I am truly thankful for you! I wouldn’t be able to do this job that I love without you.

Just booked:
Rooftop suites at this all-inclusive adults only property in Mexico 💃

7 bars + 8 restaurants to choose from

2022 availability is going fast, let’s get you booked!

Let’s face it, most of us are busy professionals or parents that don’t exactly have the time to DIY every part of our lives. I love being able to delegate tasks that either I don’t know how to do or don’t enjoy.

Don’t like cleaning? Hire a cleaning company ✔️
Don’t know how to make a logo for your business? Graphic Designer ✔️
Can't cut your own hair? Hairdresser ✔️
Don’t know how to effectively market your business? Marketing company ✔️
Don’t like to shop for groceries? Grocery delivery ✔️

So many things in our lives can be made easier by outsourcing what you don’t have the time or desire to do.
Travel planning should be no different. Don’t know where to go to research the best destination? Don’t know which flight to book? Don’t like spending time choosing which restaurants to eat at? Want an extra special experience that you don’t have to handle yourself?

Hire a travel advisor! 🙋‍♀️

Happy first day of November!
2021 is almost over 🤯 have you used your PTO?

I know I don’t need to copy and paste statistics about how beneficial it is for you to take advantage of those days off work….

It’s hard to deny that spending time on a warm, sunny beach away from emails and zoom calls is good for the soul. If you haven’t used up this year’s days, I urge you to do so! And if you have, it’s never too early to start planning for next year. We all need a reset and some time off from those meetings that definitely could’ve been emails 🙃

Fill out this form if you’re ready to start planning for some time away 👇🏼

bright lights 🌃 big city

I love a good rooftop spot with a view. Calling this weekend “research”.
When I plan trips for clients, I always include a list of places to eat & drink. I take into consideration what they’ve told me about types of places they like and places I’d want to visit myself. Yeah sure, you might remember a good drink or meal but you’ll definitely remember the overall experience more, right? This one was 💯👌🏻
