Tiffany Cline Blackburn

"I don't just plan vacations, I help families create the moments they'll talk about for years to come."

For Tiffany Blackburn, travel has always been about making memories. Growing up, some of her favorite moments were family vacations, and today she loves creating those same special experiences with her own family. Whether she's exploring a new destination with her husband, Chris, or making memories with her sons, Tiffany knows firsthand the lasting impact a great vacation can have.

Since becoming a travel advisor in 2017, Tiffany has turned her love for planning, traveling, and helping others into a career she truly enjoys. She specializes in Disney, Universal, and Sandals & Beaches Resorts, helping families, couples, and groups create unforgettable experiences. Nothing excites her more than helping clients turn their dream vacations into reality and seeing the joy those adventures bring.

A proud sports mom and active member of First Baptist Church of Belfry, Kentucky, Tiffany spends much of her free time cheering from the sidelines and supporting her family. Her favorite destination is Jamaica because of its beautiful water, warm sunshine, and welcoming people. At the top of her travel bucket list is a trip to Tahiti with Chris, a dream getaway she hopes to experience someday.

One thing Tiffany always laughs about is that she's great at planning vacations for everyone else, but somehow her own family's trips often get pushed aside while she's busy taking care of her clients!

✨ Tiffany's Travel Philosophy

"Travel has a way of bringing families closer, creating lifelong memories, and turning ordinary moments into extraordinary stories. Helping others experience that joy is why I love what I do."

Travel Professional Stacy Carey explains why having a knowledgeable agent in your corner goes way beyond.. “oh I found ya a deal” or “you get free toilet paper with your booking”

Issues arise and things can happen at the drop of a hat.

Having a knowledgeable professional in YOUR corner is priceless.

⭐️ Meet Me Monday!! ⭐️

Let’s meet Amber Thompson, Insider Travel Planners Professional Travel Agent

I’ve always had a passion for travel and planning trips. I’ve been “the planner” in my friend groups for as long as I can remember, and I’ve loved helping friends and family plan their vacations for years!

In January 2020, my husband, Richie, and I took our children, Jaxon and Paisley, on our first family all-inclusive vacation to Nickelodeon Resort in Punta Cana. That trip completely changed the way I looked at travel — I quickly learned that all-inclusive is the way to go! 🌴

Does an all-inclusive vacation sometimes cost a little more upfront? Yes! But when you consider that your accommodations, food, drinks, entertainment, activities, and so much more are included, it can actually be a much better value in the end. The same goes for cruising. Once you add up everything you pay for on a traditional beach vacation, an all-inclusive resort or cruise can often be the better value — and you get to relax without constantly pulling out your wallet!

After that amazing family trip, I decided it was time to pursue something I had always dreamed about: becoming a travel advisor. I reached out to my own travel advisor, Natalie, who had helped me plan every detail of our Punta Cana vacation, and asked if they were hiring.

That decision changed my life! ✈️

I became a travel advisor in February 2020, right before the world of travel completely changed because of COVID. Those first couple of years were definitely challenging, but I refused to give up on my dream. I knew how much I loved helping people travel, and I wanted to continue helping families and friends create those unforgettable memories together.

And here’s something you may not know about me — I’m also a dental hygienist! 🦷 I’ve been a dental hygienist for 23 years and have worked at Drs. Nagy & Majestro for 22 years. So travel planning and dental hygiene are two very different careers, but I genuinely love both!

🌎 Why I Became a Travel Advisor

Travel has always been something I love, but what I love even more is helping other people experience it.

There’s nothing better than helping a family find the perfect resort, planning an unforgettable honeymoon, putting together a girls’ getaway, helping with a destination wedding, or finding the perfect cruise, beach trip, or pigeon forge getaway for a family.

I love taking the stress and hours of research out of vacation planning and helping my clients find a trip that fits their family, their travel style, and their budget.

🏝️ Some of My Favorite Places

One of my favorite destinations is Jamaica. I absolutely love the people, the culture, the food, and the beautiful island itself. 🇯🇲

Turks & Caicos and Aruba are also at the top of my list because of their incredible beaches and gorgeous turquoise water. 🌴

I finally checked my #1 bucket-list destination — Turks & Caicos! 🥰

Now, the next big bucket-list trip is Greece! 🇬🇷 My family is planning to visit in 2029 for my son’s graduation trip, and I can’t wait!

🧳 What I Love Planning

I specialize in:

✨ Universal Orlando
🌴 Sandals & Beaches Resorts
🏝️ All-inclusive resorts throughout the Caribbean
🚢 Carnival Cruises
🚢 Royal Caribbean
🚢 Disney Cruise Line
🏖️ U.S. beach vacations
💍 Honeymoons & destination weddings
👯‍♀️ Girls’ getaways & group trips
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family vacations
🌄Pigeon forge hotel or cabin rentals

I’ve had the privilege of helping so many families experience incredible destinations, and I’ve planned everything from family vacations to honeymoons, weddings, cruises, all-inclusive escapes, and group trips.

And yes — I absolutely believe every woman needs a girls’ trip every now and then! 😂💗

❤️ A Little More About Me

I’ve been married to my wonderful husband, Richie, for 20 years, and we have two beautiful children, Jaxon and Paisley.

Travel has been a huge part of our family memories, and I love that I get to help other families create those same kinds of memories.

At the end of the day, I don’t just want to book you a vacation.

I want to help you find the destination that is perfect for YOU. ❤️

Whether you’re dreaming of relaxing on a Caribbean beach, sailing away on a cruise, exploring Universal theme parks, planning your wedding or honeymoon, celebrating a milestone, or taking that much-needed girls’ trip — I’d love to help you make it happen! ✈️🌎🌴
