Long post but I want to share a little about me...
My agency is working on updating our agent information, and by doing that I had to fill out a form with a lot of questions about "my story." I got to thinking... Most people don't know much about me and who I am!
I hope it's okay with you that I go through these questions and be open about my answers, in hopes you'll leave this post knowing me a little more.
✨My short intro-
Hi, I'm Alyssa, a travel advisor who genuinely loves the process of planning! I treat every vacation as if I were planning it for my own family- researching every detail, anticipating the little things, and creating an experience that's tailored specifically to you—not just booking a trip, so that every trip feels effortless, personal, and uniquely yours!
✨A bit about me-
I've always found joy in bringing people together and creating moments they'll remember long after they're over. When I'm not working on your next adventure, you'll usually find me spending time with my family and dogs (dog mom here!), teaching dance and pouring into the youth of our future, and planning my own next adventure - all with an iced coffee (or Alani) in hand! I believe the little details matter in life, that laughter is the best part of any day, and that life's greatest memories are made through experiences you share with loved ones.
If you can't tell, these two careers of mine may not seem related at all, but that's just the thing... They're so much alike in all the best ways! Whether I'm planning a trip or spending hours in the dance studio, it all comes back to making lasting connections with others. I love getting to be a role model for our dancers, creating lifelong relationships with them and their families, and getting to be part of the behind-the-scenes creative process - from registration to recital. Just the same, I love that exact thing about being a travel advisor! I can't wait to get to know you and be a small part of your story.
✨Why I love planning travel-
At my core, I'm someone who cares deeply. Whether it's the people in my life, the mistreated animals in our world, or the experiences I'm trusted to help create, I believe the greatest impact we can have is making others feel cared for.
I'm naturally thoughtful and love thinking ahead—not because I need everything to be perfect (although I do), but because I want the people around me to feel supported. My faith, my family, and my heart for serving others shape the way I approach every part of my life. I believe kindness matters, honesty matters, and the smallest acts of care often leave the biggest impression.
I may not always be the loudest person in the room, but I'm someone who listens, observes, and strives to do what's right. I hope that when people think of me, they remember someone who led with empathy, worked hard, and always tried to leave people—and the world—a little better than she found it. I hope they remember me as someone who quietly makes people's lives better.
✨Who I love helping-
My ideal client believes that the best things in life aren't things at all—they're shared experiences, meaningful moments, and memories made with the people they love.
They value kindness, honesty, and genuine relationships. They're excited to explore, celebrate life's milestones, and create traditions that their family will look back on for years to come. They appreciate thoughtful guidance, trust the people they choose to work with, and understand that behind every unforgettable vacation is someone who truly cares.
Whether it's a family's first trip to Disney, a couple celebrating an anniversary, or someone in need of a fantastic solo trip, every vacation has a story behind it. Long after the suitcases are unpacked, those amazing memories are shared for years to come, and that's exactly what my ideal client values.
✨What my clients can expect-
Every vacation is like a puzzle—finding the right resort, the best strategy, and the little details that come together to create an unforgettable experience. I love taking all of the moving pieces—big and small—and thoughtfully bringing them together into a vacation that feels effortless, exciting, and uniquely suited to each traveler.
For me, the most rewarding part isn't just planning the trip; it's knowing that the time and care I put into every detail allows my clients to focus on what truly matters: laughing a little louder, exploring a little more, and making memories with the people they love. Knowing I had a small part in creating those moments is what makes this work so fulfilling.
I think my travel business should be built around care. Destinations are simply the place where my clients go to create memories. My role isn't just to get them there—it's to care enough that they can be fully present once they arrive because I have already taken care of everything else.
✨Favorite travel memory-
Planning my family's first trip to Disney World I was told it was the perfect trip for their first time. Compliments tend to stick with me for a long time, and knowing all the hours put into planning their perfect first trip to Disney World was such a great thing for me to hear. This is exactly what I strive to do for each and every person I work with.
✨Best travel tip-
Leave room for the unexpected. The best memories usually aren't the ones you planned. Build your itinerary with intention, but leave enough room to slow down, wander, and say "yes" to the moments you didn't expect.
✨Fun facts-
I'm a dog mom! 🐾
I'm a caffeine addict ☕️
What I consider fun is planning and organizing (no, seriously) 😅
