My Story
Teacher by day, travel advisor by night. Based in Florida—where every day feels like a vacation! I help travelers plan unforgettable ocean and river cruises, along with stress-free Disney and all-inclusive vacations designed to be easy, seamless, and perfectly matched to your travel style.
Travel Style
I gravitate toward travel that feels effortless once it begins—where the planning is intentional, the details are handled, and the experience flows smoothly from start to finish. I value trips that remove decision fatigue, so you can be fully present, enjoy the journey, and focus on the experience rather than the logistics.

Best of the best, will definitely be requesting to work with Ciara again. She was friendly, understanding and really took the time to know what we were looking for in our trip. We weren’t always the easiest family to work with, but Ciara was amazing and was able to provide fantastic solutions to anything that came up. Would tell anyone and everyone to work with Ciara on their next trip!

Ciara was very clear and responsive in her communication. Booking was easy and stress-free. She had the reservation information in my inbox immediately after booking.

Ciara was such a huge help in planning my trip out West! I am also a major planner (but with a busy job) so Ciara had her work cut out for her when it came to making things perfect for another fellow planner. However, she rose to the occasion and absolutely knocked it out of the park! She was always quick to respond, made sure to do several follow-ups with the places I stayed to ensure everything was all set, and went above and beyond when changes were made with our plans to pivot and make things work. I will absolutely be using Ciara again for future trips!

We had an amazing experience working with Ciara to book our Disney World vacation, and I can’t recommend her enough. Ciara took the time to understand our needs and preferences, ensuring that every detail of our trip was perfectly planned. Her expertise helped us secure the best deals to suit our budget including a view of Epcot fireworks show from our hotel balcony. She also provided helpful tips and advice for the parks which was very useful.

Booking with Ciara was a breeze! She gave us four great options based on where we wanted to stay and within our budget. At each of our stays, we got the true VIP treatment with refreshments and truly personalized service. Without a doubt, I know this is because of Ciara’s fabulous relationships with them. We would absolutely book through her again; the places she were unique and helped make our first trip abroad together a breeze!

Sarasota Like a Local
Though I wasn’t born here, Sarasota is the place I now proudly call home. Living here has given me a deep appreciation for the way pristine Gulf beaches blend effortlessly with a thriving arts scene, exceptional dining, and a relaxed yet refined coastal lifestyle. What makes Sarasota special is its balance. It offers both elevated experiences and everyday moments that feel peaceful and unpretentious. Sharing this destination means inviting others to experience it the way I do: as a local who truly loves where she lives.

4 Days in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks
National parks are an excellent destination when looking for a combination of history, outdoor activities (especially hiking) and wildlife. What’s even better about Grand Teton and Yellowstone is that, not only are they just 45 minutes apart, but they also offer incredibly diverse landscapes that make you feel like you’ve traveled much farther than only 50(ish) miles to get from one to the other. Disclaimer: this itinerary is ideal for visiting during peak season (June to September) as many areas of each park are closed throughout the winter and early spring.

Getaway on Independence of the Seas - Royal Caribbean
New to cruises and want to see what it's all about? Need a quick getaway for a birthday or bachelor/bachelorette party? Look no further than Independence of the Seas - Royal Caribbean. This was the first ship I ever cruised on and have sailed on several times since then. This ship may be smaller than some of the others in the fleet but offers no shortage of fun for all ages. Whether you're in the mood for an active vacation full of water activities or looking for a more serene sailing, sipping cocktails by the pool, Independence of the Seas is the perfect ship for your getaway.
