In the travel industry, we call the first few months of the year "wave season," and it has been "waving" over here! 🌊 In January, I was #78 out of over 12,000 agents for sales. We set a record-breaking month, with sales of just over $256,000.

I also made the list for top companies (the company is just Dina and me!)
I was also:
#2 for Pleasant Holidays
#11 for Sandals Resorts
#10 for Disney Cruise Line
and would have likely been high on the list for Universal Orlando Resort, had there been a list!

I don’t often highlight personal achievements, but I was honored to be ranked #1 out of 10,000+ agents within my host agency for bookings with Pleasant Holidays in 2025. I typically place #2, so this recognition was exciting! I was also proud to see my friend, Dina Farmer, who works under my agency, earn the #4 position.
A big thanks to all the travel partners (Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort, Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa, Hyatt Regency Waikiki, Prince Resorts Hawaii, etc., in particular!) that I work with in Hawaii, who helped me earn the #1 spot this year.

Honestly, it's crazy that I've been doing this for so long and had not written this post (until now)! This is a guide to eating gluten-free in Hawaii. If you don't know, I have Celiac disease, so I have to follow a strict gluten-free diet and avoid cross-contamination. Fortunately for me, and others with Celiac disease, gluten allergies, or anyone avoiding gluten, Hawaii is a very easy place to eat gluten-free!

Here is a guide to all things gluten free in Hawaii including gluten-free restaurants, written by a Hawaii Travel Agent with Celiac Disease.
