I am here to help you craft unforgettable escapes to the sunny shores of Mexico and the Caribbean. With a passion for exploration and a knack for all-inclusive getaways, I can help turn your travel dreams into reality.
My love for travel started as young as I can remember. Growing up on the east coast, we spent every summer "down the shore" either in NJ, MD or SC. Florida was a big destination as well, taking long car rides from PA down the interstate stopping at all the fun places along the way to Disney World and beyond. My first trip out of the US was to Cancun in 1992 and I was hooked. I've since traveled to Mexico multiple times as well as the Caribbean, Europe and as far away as Japan. This is a dream job for me and I look forward to helping curate the perfect trip to meet your needs and fulfill your dreams.

If you're looking to make the most out of your next vacation without breaking the bank, group travel might just be the perfect option. Whether you're planning a family reunion, a getaway with friends, or a themed travel experience with like-minded explorers, traveling as a group has some incredible financial advantages. As a travel advisor, I've had the pleasure of helping many clients maximize their experiences while cutting costs in ways they may not have even considered. Here’s why group travel can be a smart way to save.
1. Group Discounts on Accommodations
One of the biggest perks of group travel is the potential for group rates on accommodations. Hotels, resorts, and even vacation rentals often provide special pricing when you book multiple rooms or units together. Sometimes, it’s even possible to score upgrades to better rooms or suites at no extra cost, simply because you're booking as a group. I’ve had many clients surprised at how much they save with just a few extra travelers in their party. When you book through me, I can help you unlock exclusive offers that you may not find on your own.
2. Savings on Transportation
Transportation is another area where group travel can really add up to big savings. Booking flights, buses, or private transfers for multiple people often comes with discounted rates. Additionally, chartering a van or bus to move a large group between destinations can be more cost-effective than paying for individual rides or separate cars. I’ll also make sure to arrange transfers or excursions that cater specifically to your group’s needs, ensuring everyone gets where they need to be without any hidden costs.
3. Complimentary or Discounted Activities
Many tour operators, theme parks, and entertainment venues offer discounts or added perks for group bookings. Whether it's a wine-tasting tour, a private cultural experience, or admission to a popular attraction, you’ll often find that booking as a group unlocks exclusive benefits. Not only can these group rates lower the cost per person, but many times, companies throw in extra perks like free meals, VIP access, or behind-the-scenes tours that would be far more expensive if booked individually.
4. Shared Expenses = Lower Costs
Group travel allows for a shared cost approach to your vacation. Think about dividing the price of a large vacation rental among family or friends. Suddenly, that oceanfront villa or luxury mountain cabin becomes affordable when split across several people. The same goes for meal planning. Many travelers save by cooking meals together or booking group dinners that offer set menus at reduced rates. Sharing costs for groceries, dining, and even car rentals can lead to significant savings, freeing up funds for other experiences, like a spa day or an unforgettable excursion.
Extra Perks from Your Travel Advisor
When you book group travel through a trusted travel advisor like me, you're not just saving on the upfront costs – you're getting access to insider knowledge and exclusive offers. I work closely with hotels, cruise lines, and tour companies to secure deals you wouldn’t be able to find on your own. Plus, I’ll help you avoid any surprise fees and make sure your group’s itinerary is tailored to everyone’s needs without any unnecessary costs.
So whether you're planning a big family vacation or gathering your best friends for an unforgettable trip, group travel can be a fantastic way to save. Reach out today, and I’ll help you plan a trip that maximizes value and minimizes stress!
