Here’s the truth:
You don’t need yet another night after work scouring the internet for answers. You need a honeymoon travel expert who can swoop in and take the time-sucking research, planning, and booking off your hands.
I’m the kind of travel agent who would rather go to the dentist than show up at a destination unprepared.
So when I started planning bigger, more elaborate trips for my husband and me, my first step was always to go online promptly, open 12 browser tabs, and get down to researching every last detail.
At first, I thought it was just me. But using Google didn’t actually give me the clarity I needed to make decisions about my trips, it presented a lot of choices. But how could I possibly know what was accurate, what was not, and what would *actually* make a memorable trip?
So I started the process of finding a travel agent in my area who could be a second pair of eyes on my itineraries and help with the planning.
And here I am years later, going down that travel rabbit hole for clients every single day, helping them feel confident and excited about their travel plans.
Whether you're dreaming of a romantic getaway, a soul-searching solo expedition, or a bonding adventure with close friends, if you’re looking for a Hail Mary to make the planning process easier, more enjoyable, and way less stressful — you’ve come to the right place.
