North Carolina’s wild horses of Corolla Beach are one of the most incredible sights in all of the Outer Banks area! Along the northern Currituck Banks, these famous horses still roam the sand, dunes, marsh grass, and quiet beach roads in one of the most beautiful coastal settings in the state. Believed to be descendants of Spanish mustangs brought to the New World in the 1500s, the Corolla herd is part of a rare Banker horse line that has survived for centuries on the barrier islands.

Some of the best places to spot them are along the more remote stretches north of Corolla, where the paved road ends and the beach becomes the road. This 4-wheel-drive area feels far more wild and open than the busier parts of the Outer Banks, with miles of sand, ocean views, dune grass, and beach homes tucked into the landscape. The horses are protected and managed by the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, whose mission is to conserve the herd roaming the northernmost Currituck Outer Banks. Nearby, you can also visit the red-brick Currituck Beach Lighthouse and the historic Whalehead Club, making this one of North Carolina’s most unforgettable beach areas to explore.

Time to answer some FAQs—

❓️What kind of travel do you book?

✅️ What kind of travel do you need help with? I've got you covered. Cruises, all-inclusive resorts, vacation rentals, flights, excursions, itineraries, rental cars, hotels, or general trip research. Family vacations, honeymoons, anniversary trips, girlfriend getaways, senior trips, group travel, all of the above.

❓️How do you get paid?

✅️ Many kinds of travel have commissions built in for travel agents and advisors who help with your booking. Accomodations, rental vehicles, cruises, and many excursions include a TA commission in their rate (even if you don't book through a travel agent! Using an agent puts that commission into small business and individuals rather than into the big box travel companies). For detailed itinerary building and flights, I charge a small planning fee to cover my time on non-commissionable travel items and tedious travel itineraries where a client may have not made the decision to book with me.

❓️ How long have you been a travel agent?

✅️ My early experience as a travel planner did not begin professionally. I have been helping plan travel for family and friends for several years, while I made the leap into the professional service industry about a year ago.

❔️ Do you have any other questions about myself, my business, or the travel industry as a whole? Drop them in the comments below, and I'd love to talk with you!

Florida is full of hidden gems! 🤩

In Florida, Castle Otttis is a stunning, medieval-style stone fortress that rises unexpectedly above the palm trees along the coast of St. Augustine. You can see the towering stone structure right from the highway, but it was not built by kings or old European armies. Instead, it was created by two local men, Ottis Sadler and Rusty Ickes, who wanted to build a massive work of art.

They started building in 1984 without any blueprints or architectural drawings. Over several years, they used millions of pounds of stone to shape the 50-foot-high castle. The structure is modeled after Irish castles and Christian abbeys from 1,000 years ago. To keep it authentic, the open-air design has no glass windows, no electricity, and no modern plumbing. Inside, a master woodworker spent three years hand-carving elaborate staircases and a pulpit out of native cypress wood. Because it is privately owned, the inside is only open for special reserved tours and weddings. However, anyone can pull over to take stunning photographs from the outside.
