Wisconsin Travel Agent Expert

I believe that life is much more fulfilling if you have your next adventure to look forward to! No matter what age you are or budget you are working with, I can help you plan an amazing memory maker of a vacation. Many of my core memories have come from travel. I have curated many vacations: for young people, families, couples in their golden years, ladies trips and trips for solo travelers.


I have made travel a priority in all stages of my life, and travel has rewarded me with so many unforgettable memories. From exploring the great outdoors of Wisconsin with my family as a child, experiencing Europe when studying abroad in college, meeting my Husband in Honduras on an eco-tourism trip, to our bucket list of experiencing all 50 states before my daughter graduates from high school. My wanderlust makes me an amazing planner no matter what age, stage, or budget you are at. I will work just as hard to help you and your loved ones make magical memories, too.

Expert at family travel
Rene has planned our family trips for as long as I can remember. She is great at finding unique experiences at every location. She has booked flights, train trips and a cruise for us. She has also planned out several road trips by car, has booked countless hotels, resorts and campgrounds throughout 13 larger trips and a ton of weekend getaways as well. I will continue to appreciate her planning skills in the years to come!

Amazing trip!
Rene planned us an amazing Amtrak rail pass trip to visit several East coast states. She did a great job planning unique experiences at each stop in nine different states. Her attention to detail is fantastic and made for amazing memories!

High school field trip made easy!
Rene planned travel and activities for a high school trip to Milwaukee I was apart of with 30+ high schoolers. The kids loved the Immersive Monet exhibit as did I. Rene is great at planning travel for large groups, I highly recommend!

Father's day retreat
Rene booked a resort for us at Lily Lake in Wisconsin to celebrate Fathers Day. Rene does a great job with attention to detail when planning trips, and I certainly will have great memories of this trip including an ice cream excursion with my granddaughter.

Great East Train Trip
Rene is awesome at finding those neat, commonly missed stops and activities even on the simplest of trips. On a train trip out East, lots of planning was done not only to organize train departures and arrivals, but also nearby places to see and visit - most within walking distance of the train station. Rene found unique and memorable places to stay as well like independently owned inns and not just the common brand name roadside hotel. It was truly a trip to remember for a long time.
