First time Traveling Alone
I have never traveled without family and my girlfriend and I worked with Daena to take a week long getaway to Mexico. We stayed in Punta Cana and the resort was amazing. But, more importantly Daena educated us on the safety of traveling as two young woman to a foreign country, She set up tours and a limo to pick us up at the airport. I have recommended her to others and I'm looking forward to booking another trip with her. She is the best.
