I am a beach aficionado and have planned trips to some of the best beaches in the world! I love to plan off-the-beaten-path experiences that feel more personal than going along with the crowd.

Cathy's reviews
Usually we always plan our own trips but decided that this time life had too much going on that we would take a shot at using a travel advisor. We were so glad that we did!!
Cathy was incredibly communicative from the moment we reached out to her even while navigating her own daughter’s graduation. Cathy not only offered suggestions factoring in cost, comfort and primary goal of the trip (really relaxing) but she sent a daily template of where to go and what to see while we were there.
I could go on and on about how amazing the experience has been but I will not. I say just do it!! We have already recommended people to use her services and we have been home for 1 week! Cathy, thank you for making what felt overwhelming to accomplish at the time into a streamlined and painless process.

Cathy was great to work with. She listened to what we wanted then went to work researching accommodations, transfers, tours, etc. She also checked in on us during our trip! She took great care to ensure that every aspect of our trip was exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended to help plan your next trip!

Cathy planned our family trip to Puerto Rico, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we connected, Cathy was attentive, knowledgeable, and committed to making our vacation seamless and memorable. Cathy helped us book a fantastic beachfront stay, arrange a car rental and gave us tips of what to see there. The entire trip went off without a hitch, and we’re so grateful for Cathy’s expertise and dedication.
