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.

Daena is friendly, knowledgeable and great to work with. It is our second time working with her to plan our Disney vacation. She is very knowledgeable and presents options in a no pressure manner to meet your preferences and budget. She made some great suggestions for new things to try (restaurant venues and tours). Loved them all!!
