My Story
Travel hunter with unapologetic drive and a deep desire to give everyone the chance to experience the trip of a lifetime. Atlanta-based, born-and-bred New Yorker, always planning the next trip.
Travel Style
Soaking tubs, plush bathrobes and a suite where I can escape my snoring husband are my travel must haves. Whether soaking up the sun on a remote beach or exploring a new place, as long as I have a good meal and time for a midday respite, I'm game. I'm unapologetically driven and once I have something on my mind to get done I won't rest until it's finished. Allow me to put all that energy to work for you.

Awilda was incredibly helpful in planning our honeymoon to Italy! She was very knowledgeable about each of the regions we visited and provided wonderful recommendations for activities and experiences in each area. She was also extremely patient throughout the planning process and continued to be helpful and supportive even while we were in Italy. We truly appreciated all of her assistance in making our honeymoon such a memorable and special trip!

Awilda did an amazing job helping us plan our group trip to the Dominican Republic. She recommended Dreams Macao Onyx Cana, and it was the perfect choice for our group of 8 adults and 6 kids. The resort was beautiful, family-friendly, and had something for everyone to enjoy.
From the planning process through the trip itself, everything went smoothly. Our entire group had a fantastic time, and we're so grateful for Awilda's expertise and guidance. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stress-free vacation planning experience!

From start to finish, Awilda covered every single detail for our family trip during the partial government shutdown that impacted TSA employees! Once we arrived she called to check in and remind us of all of the perks that she secured for us. I will always book with Awilda and Artemis travel!

Awilda was so helpful, responsive, and on top of every little detail of our trip. This trip was planned to propose to my girlfriend so I wanted to make sure very little detail was perfect. South Caicos is a very beautiful and small island so vendors and having access to more than one option of a vendor can be tricky. With Awilda's help we were able to find a great florist to provide a floral arrangement as well as a photographer to make and capture the moment. They flew in from a different island which was all coordinated by Awilda. Without her, I would have spent so much time and effort but with Awilda's help the process went smoothly and worked out perfectly. The rest of the trip was very relaxing and we were able to add a few other fun activities like snorkeling and a boat adventure which were organized by Awilda. I highly recommend working with Awilda for any travel and planning needs. She goes above and beyond!!!

travel to San Sebastián

Awilda is an excellent travel agent who crafted the absolute perfect experience for us from start to finish, including intuitively knowing somehow that we’d enjoy San Sebastián the best out of everywhere we visited and gave us the most time there. She put together a great itinerary and seamless instructions on how to manage the train and bus lines. The basque cooking experience was the highlight of our trip and I cannot thank Awilda enough for setting up this once in a lifetime experience.

The Candler Hotel Site Inspection
The Candler Hotel is a amazing 4-star hotel tucked away in the heart of Downtown Atlanta opened n 2019. This gorgeous building is emblematic of Atlanta’s efforts to reinvigorate and revitalize the downtown area. Built in 1906, it was owned by Asa Candler – former mayor of Atlanta and Father of Coca-Cola. The native Georgia marble throughout the building, antique mosaic work, original carved wooden accents in the restored elevators, gold gilded mail shoots (that still work) and an overall old world vibe that oozes out of every crevice of The Candler Hotel can only be described as Gatsby.

The Best Hotels, Restaurants & Things to Do in Curaçao
Popular with divers for decades for its turquoise waters and incredible sea life, Curaçao is one of the Caribbean’s best-kept secrets. With weather that is sunny & 83 degrees most of the year, it is no surprise that the island boasts some of the best snorkeling, diving and fishing in the Caribbean. The island's dynamic history, maintenance of historical landmarks and long-standing Dutch influences set it apart from other Caribbean islands. However the island is much more than beautiful beaches, it has plenty of world-class restaurants, beach clubs, bars, historical sites, gorgeous architecture, beautiful vistas & casinos to keep you busy.

Lanzarote: The Hidden Gem of the Canary Islands
The magic of Lanzarote is palpable from the moment you step off the plane. This small volcanic island in the South Atlantic is a feast for the eyes. It is the only place on earth where you will find futuristic vineyards carved into the faces black volcanic mountains - an achievement so spectacular that NASA studies the island to learn how we may be able to grow food on other planets. The wine is truly unique and something every wine lover should experience in this lifetime. The architecture is gorgeous and simplistic, most buildings are a stark white against the colors of the mountains and the sea. There are food options for every budget, palette and culture from McDonalds to white table cloth fine dining. The water is crystal clear and cool, a perfect compliment to the hot temperatures of spring through fall. There is much to do from diving to spending some time at a local members only cannabis club of which the islands has over 100.
