Passport to Postcards

06/29/2026

Earlier this year, I shared that Passport To Postcards had been nominated in the 2026 Best of South Carolina Awards hosted by the Guide to South Carolina. As a first-time nominee in the Travel Agencies category, I honestly had no idea what to expect, but I was grateful to be included.

Imagine my surprise when I found out that Passport To Postcards was selected as a WINNER in the Travel Agencies category! 🎉

While awards are always exciting, what means the most to me is knowing that this recognition represents more than just the trips I plan. It represents the way I run my business: taking the time to truly get to know my clients, creating thoughtful and personalized travel experiences, and treating every trip as if I were planning it for my own family.

To everyone who voted, to those who have supported my business from the beginning, and to my amazing clients who continue to trust me with their vacations and adventures, thank you. Truly. A small business is built on relationships, referrals, and people who believe in what you do, and I do not take that for granted.

According to the Guide to South Carolina, “Being recognized in the 2026 Best of South Carolina Awards is a significant achievement, with less than 10% of South Carolina businesses receiving this prestigious accolade.” I am incredibly grateful to be included among such a wonderful group of South Carolina businesses and honored to represent the travel industry.

Thank you for helping Passport To Postcards continue to grow.

I am so excited (and honestly, a little proud!) to share that Passport To Postcards has been nominated for Best of South Carolina in the Hotel & Travel category (Travel Agencies)!

These awards highlight businesses that are truly dedicated to serving their customers and supporting their communities, which makes this nomination even more meaningful to me.

Every single vote helps shine a light on what I’m building and allows me to keep growing this dream. The process is quick and easy; no registration required, just your name and email so they can verify you’re a real person.

It takes less than a minute, and your support truly means more than you know. 💙 Thank you!

In a world that’s quickly being shaped by artificial intelligence, I’m choosing a different lane; one rooted in real, human connection. The kind of travel planning that listens, understands, and anticipates, because it’s built by someone who knows you, not an algorithm.

That’s exactly what I’m creating inside my private group, a space for thoughtful travelers who want more than just a trip. If you value personalized experiences, meaningful details, and having a real person in your corner every step of the way, you’ll feel right at home there.

As I shift my focus, I won’t be active on this page moving forward, as my energy is going into building and showing up fully in that private space.

And one quick note: this group is designed for travelers, not fellow travel advisors. I kindly ask that industry peers refrain from joining so I can keep the space focused and tailored for clients.

Googling Is Not a Strategy

Search engines don’t know your priorities, your travel style, or what actually matters to you. I do. A travel advisor replaces hours of trial and error with clarity, confidence, and a plan that works the first time.

🧭 If you want a plan built around you, I’d love to design it.

🎄You do not have to go to Europe in the winter to experience authentic Christmas markets 🎄

Montreal and Quebec City do it beautifully, and once you are there, you will forget you are not in Europe. Festive old towns, French Canadian traditions, cozy cafés, incredible food and wine, and Christmas markets that feel straight out of Europe without the long flights or heavy crowds.

This is a limited offering special event itinerary with select departures on December 9 and December 10. If Europe in December feels overwhelming, but the holiday magic still calls to you, this is an incredible alternative.

Travel is all about the details.

Last night, I spent the evening at Clayton & Crume, with one of my preferred supplier partners, Avanti Destinations, and walked away with this beautiful leather luggage tag, custom-embossed just for me. A small detail, but the kind that makes travel feel personal.

Now the question is… where should it travel first? ✈️

Time Is Money, And Travel Planning Is Labor

Most people underestimate how much unpaid labor goes into planning a great trip. Research, cross-checking, fine-tuning logistics, it adds up fast. When you work with a travel advisor, you’re outsourcing that labor to an expert so your time stays where it belongs.

💬 I can take that off your plate whenever you’re ready.
