My Story
Travel enthusiast, mom of two, Houstonian, UT Alum - Hook ‘em Horns!
I’m always looking for the next amazing place to explore, so let me look for you too!
Travel Style
I caught the travel bug at a young age when my parents took my brother and I on Caribbean cruises, road trips to Florida and around Texas, and vacations to Las Vegas, Mexico, and Europe. I’ve always made traveling a priority in my life, even if I didn’t have anyone to come along with me—shout out to all the solo explorers!
I love a busy “trip” full of guided tours and museums, just as much as a relaxing “vacation” with spa days and tropical drinks by a pool. I have planned budget bachelorettes, family cruises, romantic getaways, and city sightseeing explorations. I’m a versatile traveler who just wants to see the world and help you see it too!

A huge part of what made this trip so special was our amazing travel agent, Emily. From start to finish, Emily was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful. She handled every detail with care, offered expert guidance, and made the planning process completely stress-free. Thanks to Emily, we were able to fully relax and enjoy the magic of the Disney Fantasy, knowing everything had been perfectly planned.

Emily is exceptional from start to finish! She is attentive, responsive, proactive and detail-oriented throughout the entire process. When we had requested a change to our travel dates, she jumped in immediately and handled everything seamlessly with no stress on our end at all. She made the process easy and enjoyable. We also appreciated our amazing welcome treats at the resort from her! We cannot recommend Emily enough!

We really enjoyed working with Emily as our travel agent—she booked a beautiful resort and arranged car transportation for us, making the entire process seamless. Emily also sent detailed emails about what to expect regarding service and the resort. I really appreciate the details, so it was great to have something to reference during our trip. She also arranged thoughtful upgrades, such as a swim‑up pool, chocolates delivered to our room, a bottle of champagne, and a few sweet notes from the resort. These touches went a long way, and you could tell she put a lot of thought and effort into making our honeymoon special. It truly was the trip of a lifetime. We will definitely be working with Emily again, and we cannot thank her enough for planning such a wonderful honeymoon for us.

Emily suggested this hotel for its location and because of the size of the room it was at a very good price. It was a pleasure working with her for this cruise add on as well as the actual Celebrity cruise booking!

Sandals Resorts Overview and St. Lucia Site Visits
I was fortunate enough to tour all three Sandals properties on my familiarization trip to St. Lucia. Each of these Sandals properties offers their standard all-inclusive amenities, but they also have their own unique standout features that will provide a perfect getaway for any kind of traveler. The common thread that strings these properties together is the friendly staff whose main goal is to make sure that every guest is having their very best vacation.

Spotlight: Grand Velas Cabo Properties
On my first trip to Cabo, I was fortunate enough to experience all three exceptional Grand Velas properties. These three resorts may each have their own unique feel, but all of them provide a true luxury experience that sets the bar high for all-inclusives in Mexico.

A Week in France: From Wine Country to Paris
France has always been one of my favorite destinations—culture, art, gourmet dining, history, fine wine. What’s not to love? You can explore the sprawling, peaceful vineyards of the wine country, and then hop on a train and in just a few hours you can be walking through the metropolitan but yet endlessly charming streets of Paris. It’s truly a traveler’s dream with unlimited things to see and do - one visit will not be enough!

Three of the Best Family Friendly Texas Hill Country Resorts
As a Houstonian and a mom of two toddlers, I am always looking for fun and convenient destinations for family getaways. In my quest to find easy weekend vacations that are just a road trip away, we have stayed at some wonderful Hill Country resorts that offer something for every family member. While these resorts are just a short drive away for many Texans, they can also be a nice reprieve for out of state travelers from the popular busy cities they might be there to explore like Austin and San Antonio.
