Everyone wants to visit Paris, Venice, and Barcelona… but not everyone wants the crowds. ✨

That’s why I’m excited about these NEW “Uncommon Day Trips” from Intrepid Travel - designed for travelers who want to experience Europe more like a local.

Think:
🥐 Fresh pastries at a neighborhood market in Paris
🍫 A women-owned chocolate workshop in Venice
🌿 Hidden community spaces and local markets in Barcelona

These small-group experiences take you beyond the typical tourist spots and into the real heart of each city — while also supporting local communities and responsible tourism. 🌍

This is exactly the kind of travel I love helping clients plan:
✔️ authentic experiences
✔️ meaningful cultural connections
✔️ slower, more immersive travel
✔️ Europe beyond the crowds

If Europe is on your wish list for 2026, send me a message — I’d love to help you build a trip that feels more personal, immersive, and unforgettable. ✈️

This week I had the opportunity to speak at an event with Wanderful's NYC chapter.

We had a great conversation about creator marketing, travel marketing, influencer partnerships, brand collaborations, and how travel creators can build meaningful, long-term relationships with tourism boards, hotels, and travel brands.

I shared insights from building Elevate Your Escapes into an award-winning travel agency, and also from my time working at marketing agencies.

Wanderful is a global community focused on empowering women through travel, content creation, and connection. I’m grateful to be part of the community!

I just randomly stumbled into this article..
Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to attend an incredible event, where I was named a Virgin Voyages Top 100 First Mate (travel advisor) for the second year in the row.
Elevate Your Escapes actually ranks high within the set - Top 30 of 21,000+ first mates/ travel advisors in North America (exact rank not announced).

In addition to being named at the top of sales, I earned a top Virgin Voyages First Mate award called "Cork's Crew" for my sales volume, leadership, and client service - pictured as the photo in the article.

Being a leader within the Virgin Voyages First Mate network continues to be an inspiring experience. I connect travelers with unforgettable adults-only cruising, unique itineraries, and award-winning onboard experiences. ⚓

If you’re curious about sailing Virgin Voyages or planning your next cruise adventure, I’d be happy to help you get started. Don't forget - I have exclusive perks that you *CANNOT* get on your own!

Virgin Voyages’ First Mates Soirée aboard Scarlet Lady spotlighted the crucial role advisors continue to play in driving cruise sales.
