From Passion to Profession
From Passion to Profession: My Journey as a Travel Advisor and the Launch of My Dream Vacations Business
Travel has always been more than just trips on a calendar for me — it’s about experiences, memories, and moments that stay with you long after you unpack your bags. What started as a love for planning meaningful vacations grew into a career I’ve been proud to build over the last eight years, and now into the launch of my own travel business under the Dream Vacations franchise.
Eight Years of Experience, Millions in Travel Planned
Over the past eight years, I’ve worked as a professional travel advisor helping individuals, couples, families, and groups plan vacations all over the world. During that time, I’ve personally planned and booked millions of dollars in travel — from Disney and Universal theme park vacations to cruises, all-inclusive resorts, honeymoons, milestone celebrations, and multi-generational family trips.
I’ve had the privilege of working with repeat clients year after year, planning everything from quick weekend getaways to once-in-a-lifetime bucket list trips. My business has always been built on relationships, attention to detail, and creating vacations that truly fit my clients’ travel style, budget, and goals.
Destinations and Experiences I Specialize In
While I plan travel worldwide, I’m especially passionate about and experienced in:
- Disney Destinations: Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland, Aulani, Adventures by Disney, & National Geographic
- Universal Orlando & Universal Hollywood Theme Parks
- Cruises (including Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Disney Cruise Line, Virgin Voyages, Princess, Viking, Holland and more)
- All-Inclusive Resorts (Sandals, Beaches, Dreams, Secrets and other top brands)
- Honeymoons, anniversaries, and milestone celebrations
- Family, group, and multi-generational travel
I don’t just book trips — I help my clients navigate the planning process, avoid common mistakes, secure the best resort, timing and pricing, and maximize their vacation experience from start to finish.
Why I Launched My Own Travel Business
After years of working for and helping build another travel agency, I knew it was time to take the next step and create something of my own — a business that reflects how I truly work and the level of service I provide.
I’m proud to say I’ve officially launched my own travel agency as a franchise owner with Dream Vacations, the nation’s leading home-based travel agency franchise. This move allows me to continue offering the same personalized service my clients know and trust, while giving me access to even more resources, technology, and exclusive offers.
As part of the Dream Vacations and World Travel Holdings family, I now have increased buying power with major cruise lines and travel suppliers, which means better pricing, exclusive promotions, and added value for my clients.
What Working With Me Looks Like
My services are complimentary when you book your vacation through me. I work closely with my clients every step of the way from the initial planning conversation through travel day and beyond.
That includes:
- Destination guidance and honest recommendations
- Customized quotes and comparisons
- Dining, excursions, and special experience planning
- Ongoing support before and during travel
- Advocacy if anything unexpected arises
I intentionally limit the number of trips I plan at one time so every client receives the time, attention, and care their vacation deserves.
Looking Ahead
Launching my own Dream Vacations business is an exciting new chapter, but my mission remains the same: to help my clients travel confidently, experience more, and create unforgettable memories.
Whether you’re planning your first big family vacation, celebrating a milestone, or dreaming of your next escape, I’d love to help you make it happen.
