Hellloooo! 👋

I hope you've all been well! I apologize, I haven't been active on here much, mainly because my wonderful clients have been keeping me extra busy, which I'm extremely grateful for! 🙏

Over this past winter I helped plan a LOT of all-inclusive vacations throughout Mexico and the Caribbean, which I LOVE doing and am very passionate about. I also had a lot of fun curating some custom itineraries in destinations such as Belize, Hawaii, New Orleans, Maritimes, Florida and Southern California. ✈️

I welcome all inquiries, big or small! From flights, to all-inclusive packages, to cruises, to custom built itineraries...I love it all! Oh, and just a reminder that I don't charge booking fees, so it won't cost you anything extra for my services! 😉

As this year comes to an end, I just wanted to send out a huge thank you to all of my valued clients. Without your trust and support, I wouldn't be able to do what I love. Have a wonderful 2026 - I look forward to planning new adventures with you all! :D

In regards to the Air Canada strike, here’s what travellers need to know:

Aug 14 – Flight cuts begin
Aug 15 – More flights reduced
Aug 16 – Full shutdown of Air Canada & Rouge if no deal is reached

Negotiations have been ongoing for 8+ months, with federal conciliators involved. Air Canada says it has proposed significant improvements to pay, benefits, pensions, and rest periods — and has offered binding arbitration to avoid disruption. Talks are still in progress.

If you’re flying between Aug 14–16:

- Check your booking frequently
- Sign up for flight alerts. Make sure you have the AC app and have uploaded your trip.
- If possible, book a refundable fare with another airline as a backup — you can cancel it if your original flight isn’t affected.

With flight attendants set to walk off the job Saturday morning, Air Canada is in the process of winding down operations.

One of the best parts of trip planning for me is the research aspect. I love to learn about new destinations and expand my knowledge of the world. Every time I receive an inquiry to a destination that's outside of my wheelhouse, I get so excited about it, as I see it as an opportunity to learn and grow.

Thanks to my amazing clients, I've had a nice mix of destinations to research as of late, which has been very refreshing and a nice change of pace.🙏

Here's a little glimpse into what I've been working on!

It's been a hot minute since I posted last! 😅

Here's a little look at some of the vacations I've been busy planning over the past few months!

Just a reminder that I don't charge any plan-to-go or booking fees for my services! ;)

We finally have internet, which means I’m back up & running again! 🖥️ Thank you for your patience! 🙏

Looks like another hot one today! ☀️😅

Fencing our yard was the best decision by far…love that I can just let the dogs and kiddos run around without having to worry about anyone disappearing while I work haha!

We’ve officially moved in & have now started the long, gruelling process of unpacking. It’s crazy how 2 toddlers can really slow ya down haha! 😅
We have yet to get our internet installed (Starlink shipping delay) so it’s looking like I will have to take another week off. Sorry for any inconvenience! I will update again once I’m fully up & running again!

Here’s a shot of our 3 season room! We still have yet to install a TV above the mantle. 😊

My family and I have been waiting for this day for what seems like forever; move-in day!!! I'll be taking some time off (Jun 27 - Jul 8 to be exact) to move & get settled into our new forever home! Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!

Here's a sneak peek of our soon to be kitchen! 😍

Hey Facebook friends! Wow, it's been a hot minute since I posted last! 😅

I've been trying to navigate this whole working from home while raising 2 toddlers thing as best I can, and unfortunately, my social media posting has taken a hit! 😬

I've been getting this question a lot lately: "Are you still booking travel?" So, I just wanted to let it be known that YES. I'm still a Travel Consultant, and a busy one at that! Don't let my rather quiet social media fool you haha! I've gradually been increasing my workload, taking on more complex and unique inquiries, which has proven to be both challenging and rewarding!

If you’re curious about what I’ve been busy booking over the past while, here are a few examples:

- Royalton Splash Riviera Maya (all-inclusive vacation)
- Las Vegas flights + hotel package (MGM Grand)
- Royalton Splash Punta Cana (all-inclusive vacation)
- Celebrity Cruises Eastern Caribbean Cruise
- TRS Coral Hotel (all-inclusive vacation)
- Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort & Spa (all-inclusive vacation)
- Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya (all-inclusive vacation)
- Dreams Huatulco Resort & Spa (all-inclusive vacation)
- Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa St. Lucia (all-inclusive vacation)
- Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica (all-inclusive vacation)
- Amsterdam flights + hotel (Leonardo Museumhotel Amsterdam City Center)
- Flights to various destinations such as Rome, New York, Puerto Vallarta etc.

If you'd like some assistance with planning your next vacation, I'd love to help, in any way I can. You can text, call, email or private msg me on Facebook, anytime! 😁

We sincerely thank you for your support.
