The World is Waiting Travel (2025)

15/03/2025

POV: It’s five years from now, and you’re thinking about the trip you almost took, but didn’t.

The kids were “too young.” Work was too “hectic.” Life was too busy.

But here’s the thing: life will always be busy.

The kids won’t always be little.

And the perfect time? It’s a myth.

The moments that stick with you aren’t on your to-do list. They’re in the sandcastle-building competitions, the belly laughs over melting ice cream, and the way their little hands reach for yours on an adventure far from home.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign — this is it. Book the trip. Make the memory. Because one day, when they’re all grown up, you’ll be so grateful you did.

What’s one trip you’ve always wanted to take with the kids? ⬇️

The Greek Island to visit when you want all the beauty but none of the chaos👇
That would be (drumroll please)..... Naxos.

When most people think of the Greek Islands they picture a Santorini sunset or nightlife in Mykonos, but let me tell you a little bit more about Naxos, because I’m in love!

Naxos has golden beaches to kick back and relax on, cute little mountain villages to stroll through, and of course, all of the gorgeous sunsets and delicious Greek food like the other islands.

When clients want to hop through the Greek Islands but want a bit more of a peaceful experience, I always recommend Naxos as a pitstop.

✅ Beachfront dinners.
✅ Peaceful hikes.
✅ Sunday strolls to mountain villages.
✅ Olive oil tasting.

It’s perfect!

As far as planning goes, I can help with laying out your itinerary and getting the logistics booked (things like hotels, rental cars, ferry tickets, cooking classes, sailing tours, etc).

Have you been to Naxos? What did you think of the island?

Hey Alexa, play “Me, Myself and I” by Beyonce, please!

Because sometimes, the best travel companion? You.

I’m confident when I say that you deserve to give yourself space to recharge, reflect, and do exactly what you want, when you want, including but not limited to cozying up in the hotel’s lush bathrobe and ordering room service.

Here are some of my favorite solo experiences right now (the list is always being added to!):

➡️ Chasing Waterfalls in Iceland 💦 – Iceland is basically Mother Nature at her very best. You can spend all day hiking past waterfalls, hot springs, and black sand beaches, and still feel like you’ve only scratched the surface. Best part? It’s one of the safest places in the world for solo female travelers.

➡️ Cafe-Hopping in Paris with a Good Book – There’s an art to doing absolutely nothing in Paris, and solo travelers get it. Grab a table at a sidewalk café, order a café crème, and people-watch like it’s your job. Bonus points if you bring a book and pretend you live there.

➡️ Hiking the Cliffs of the Algarve, Portugal – Perfect for solo travelers who want adventure and a little “OMG this is gorgeous” moment. The coastline views? Unreal. And the little hidden coves you’ll find along the way? Even better.

➡️ An Outdoor Hammam Experience in Marrakech – Picture this: Warm, scented steam, an invigorating body scrub, and a full-on ritual that leaves you glowing. It’s like a deep clean for your soul.

With International Women’s Day just behind us, here’s to the women out there exploring the world solo, rewriting the rules, and embracing more adventure in life.

Spring is when nature shows off, and some places take it to a whole new level.

Think cherry blossoms so stunning they don’t look real, tulip fields that stretch for miles, and hidden spots where spring flowers steal the show.
I help my clients lock in the best stays and experiences for these once-a-year spectacles, and if you want front-row seats to the magic, it’s best to plan ahead. I’m booking now for 2026.

Here are my top recommendations for spring flowers:

🌸 Kyoto, Japan – Kyoto in cherry blossom season? Unreal. Ancient temples framed in pink, lantern-lit festivals, and hanami picnics under the petals. Timing is everything—I do my best to make sure my clients hit peak bloom for the most breathtaking views.

🌷 Amsterdam & Keukenhof, Netherlands – Tulip season is legendary here, but there’s a difference between seeing the flowers and experiencing them. I arrange private bike rides through the fields, VIP Keukenhof access, and the best boutique stays. Enjoy this adventure even more with a river cruise!

🌼 Washington, D.C., USA – The National Cherry Blossom Festival is stunning, but if you want picture-perfect views without the tourist chaos, location and timing are key. I help my clients score the best spots, from festival events to exclusive hotels near the Tidal Basin.

🌺 Provence, France – Spring in Provence means rolling fields of wildflowers, early lavender blooms, and the most scenic vineyard road trips. Add in boutique stays and incredible food, and it’s a spring dream done right.

These springtime moments don’t last long so prepping ahead of time is key. It’s not too late to lock in an adventure for this year, or if you want in for 2026, let’s get it locked in now.

DM me, and I’ll handle the details!

In the spirit of Galentine’s Day, let me be the one to remind you that that girlfriend’s getaway you’ve been talking about needs to make it out of the group chat this year!

Because there’s nothing like swapping the everyday grind for sunshine, cocktails, and endless laughter with your favorite people.

Mornings spent lounging by the pool with your besties.

Afternoons exploring charming boutiques or hidden gems.

Nights filled with good food, great drinks, and even better company.

It’s time to stop “talking about it” and start making those memories happen. Whether it’s a luxe spa weekend, a tropical escape, or a city adventure — It doesn’t have to be big to be amazing.

Because life’s too short not to celebrate friendship in style. Tag your Galentine group below and start dropping hints.

Some people would say I’m the human version of Expedia—if Expedia actually knew you.

Truthfully though, not everyone had the time to scroll through a million reviews on Expedia to figure out the perfect trip.
And how do you know if the person leaving those reviews really cares about the same things you do?

Maybe they loved the hotel buffet because of the chicken nuggets, but you’re dreaming of Michelin-star meals. Or they raved about the nightlife, you are thinking a relaxing lounge atmosphere and they are talking about a wild night by club.

That’s where I come in.

Unlike a search engine or some anonymous five-star review, I’ll take the time to get to know you. Through conversations and questions, I’ll find out what really matters to you on a trip — whether it’s the coziest boutique hotels, wild adventures, or something the whole family can enjoy.

I’ll give you recommendations rooted in my real, lived experiences, so you’ll end up with a one-of-a-kind trip that you’ll talk about for years.

Ready to ditch the endless scroll and plan a trip that’s so you? Let’s chat—DM me, and I’ll take it from there.

It’s so easy to underestimate how many decisions go into planning a trip from start to finish. Maybe you’ve narrowed down your destination, but now you’re scrolling through hundreds of resort options, wondering, ‘how do I even choose?’

Here’s how I help my clients cut through the noise:

✨ Start with your priorities. Ask yourself: What’s most important for this trip? Is it an all-inclusive experience, being close to specific attractions, or having a kid-free vibe?

✨ Consider your must-haves. Think amenities: Swim-up bars, private plunge pools, or even family-friendly suites with plenty of space. Make a list of non-negotiables and let that guide your search.

✨ Think about the vibe. Do you want something relaxed and intimate, or lively with lots of activities? The feel of the resort can make or break your trip.

✨ Lean on an expert. This past week alone I have helped plan weddings, honeymoons, Europe adventures, Tahiti, and river cruises. All of these clients skipped the overwhelm, and I handled the details.

Here’s the good news: You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I can help you find that one perfect resort or itinerary that checks every box—and then some.

Here’s the thing about booking a trip online through those big booking sites (Think Expedia, Booking.com, etc.)

You’re a number in a queue, a confirmation email in their system. There’s no one looking out for you, no one who knows what you actually want from your trip.

But when you book with me? You’re never just a transaction — you’re my priority.

I’ll make sure every detail is right, from the perfect room setup to ensuring you avoid surprise construction at your resort. And if something goes sideways, I’m here to handle it, so you don’t have to.

Because when it comes to such a special thing like travel, you deserve to be a priority — you deserve care, attention, and someone in your corner. That’s what I’m here for!

Mexico is so much more than Cancun!

One of my favorite parts of being a travel advisor is introducing my clients to new ways to explore and go beyond Cancun.

And yes — Cancun is amazing. But if you’re looking for something different, here’s a few ideas:

Isla Mujeres
🌴 Postcard-perfect beaches without the crowds
Just a 20-minute ferry ride from Cancun, Isla Mujeres feels like a hidden gem. Think crystal-clear water at Playa Norte, vibrant local charm, and epic snorkeling with colorful marine life. It’s a quiet escape where time slows down, and yes, you can still sip margaritas by the beach.

Holbox
🏝️ This tiny island feels like a secret slice of paradise.
Holbox is where I send clients who want untouched beauty and a slower pace. No cars, just sandy streets, boutique hotels, and flamingos casually hanging out on the shore. Plus, the bioluminescent waters at night? Total bucket list material.

Playa del Carmen
☀️A little more action, but with a local twist.
Playa del Carmen is all about variety. Stroll Quinta Avenida for vibrant restaurants and shops, or head to quieter beaches just outside the main area. I always recommend a day trip to Cozumel for incredible snorkeling or diving, it’s just a ferry ride away.

And the cool part is these are all places in the greater Cancun area! There are even more cool places throughout Mexico that you may have never even thought of.
Once you’ve picked your destination, you need the perfect resort or hotel to stay, and I just happen to be an expert in matching clients to accommodations that fit their needs and vibe.

The most common mistakes travelers make — from a travel advisor who books dozens of trips a year.👇

I’ve seen it all, from canceled flights that leave people stranded to fighting food poisoning on the other side of the world.

But these are the most common mistakes I see travelers making:

➡️ Packing way too much and then dealing with lugging heavy luggage all over the place

➡️ Skipping travel insurance because ‘nothing will happen‘ (until it does😬)

➡️ Booking connecting flights that leave you with just minutes to sprint between gates.

➡️ Choosing the cheapest deal and realizing they have the lowest room category and the worst flight option.

My job? To make sure that none of these happen to you.

I’ll guide you through everything from packing tips to insurance options, and the best way to maximize your budget.

I’m all about getting you to that first cup of coffee as you listen to the ocean and watch the sun sparkle over the ocean/as you munch a croissant from a cute little cafe in Nice as seamlessly as possible.

Let’s make this your best travel year yet — DM me and let me know what destination you’d like to visit next.

Three Caribbean islands you’ll LOVE other than Jamaica 👇

Jamaica gets a lot of love (and for good reason), but if you’ve been before and you’re ready to explore a little deeper to some of the smaller islands, here are three I’m currently planning trips to for clients:

🏝️ Saint Lucia – Think lush rainforests, dramatic volcanic peaks, and the iconic Pitons. This island is made for couples who want romance and adventure. You can hike Gros Piton for epic views, then cool off in a private plunge pool with the ocean as your backdrop. It’s the perfect mix of thrill and chill.

🏝️ Grenada – Sure, it’s called the Spice Isle, but Grenada is full of surprises. The underwater sculpture park? A total must for snorkelers and divers. And if you’re a foodie, you’ll love visiting a local chocolate estate or sipping rum straight from the source at a distillery. This island has flavor in every sense of the word.

🏝️ Barbados – Yes, the pink-sand beaches are dreamy, but there’s so much more to love here. From luxury catamaran cruises to secret coves only the locals know, this island nails that blend of elegance and authenticity. And let’s not forget—it gave us Rihanna. Enough said.

Every island in the Caribbean has its own unique experiences and if you ask me, that just means more excuses to book trips.

Which island is your cup of tea? If I had to play favorites for a minute I’d pick St Lucia. What about you?

Ever tried arguing with an airline at 2 AM?

As a travel advisor, I have 🙋‍♀️ and believe me, it’s the last thing you want to be doing when you’re in vacation mode.

When people ask me “Why would I work with a travel advisor when I can just book my trip online?”

There are lots of reasons but one of the biggest? Because when things go sideways, you won’t have to be the one dealing with it all by yourself.

Instead, I’ll be the one making the calls, finding alternatives so you can still be in the moment and enjoy your trip.

For you that means no waiting on hold, no stress, no last-minute scrambling — just problems solved. Wouldn’t that peace of mind be nice on your next trip?

Here’s the problem with booking the cheapest vacation package 👇

It feels like a win, right? Knowing you’re finally making those travel goals come true without breaking the bank.

But what happens when the cheapest package means arriving at your resort too late and losing one whole vacation day or includes the resort that’s a two hour drive from the airport which will no doubt lead to a meltdown from the kids?

I recently helped one of my clients find the perfect hotel, with a gorgeous beach, in a room with rooftop private plunge pool for only $50 nore per night than what they had found.

No, that’s not a typo.

It’s the difference between looking for what’s cheapest and looking for value.

A small tweak like when you decide to go on your getaway can result in money saved and so much more value added to your getaway..

This year, let’s make sure you get the most out of your vacation days.

✅ A spontaneous flight to somewhere unforgettable - YES

✅ Morning coffee watching the early morning sun over the ocean on a beautiful island - YES

✅ Learning to make pasta somewhere in the Tuscan hills - HECK YES!
