I absolutely love every unique region Italy has to offer, but there is something special about the Riviera, especially Cinque Terre and Portofino. Every visit to this region is unforgettable. From the vibrant colors of the cliffside villages to the luxurious charm of Portofino’s harbor, there is something magical about this coastal region. Cinque Terre is Italian for 5 lands. It is a A UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its villages are Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. These villages are renowned for their breathtaking landscapes, terraced vineyards, and crystal-clear waters. Whether you’re looking to hike the rugged trails between the villages, savor authentic Ligurian cuisine, or simply relax by the sea, there really is something for everyone here. I am partial to Riomaggiore; its sunset views cannot be beat. Portofino is a destination near and dear to my heart because my Italian grandmother visited when I was young and her pictures were breathtaking. Portofino is famous for its picturesque harbor and upscale ambiance. Whether you want to explore hidden coves, indulge in a wine-tasting tour, or immerse yourself in the cultural history of the region, I am here to create a customized itinerary tailored to your preferences. Let me take care of the logistics, so you can focus on making memories that will last a lifetime. The Italian Riviera is a destination you won't forget.

Spain Travel Agent Professional Sagrada Familia Dominates Barcelona's Skyline
From the vibrant streets of Madrid to the sun-soaked shores of the Costa del Sol, my time in Spain has given me a deep understanding of the country’s rich culture, exquisite cuisine, and diverse landscapes. The energy of Madrid is palpable, whether you’re strolling through the lively Plaza Mayor, visiting the world-renowned Prado Museum, or enjoying a leisurely afternoon at the expansive Retiro Park. One of my favorite experiences in Madrid is the food—whether it’s indulging in tapas at a local bar, enjoying a traditional cocido madrileño, or sipping on a glass of Spanish wine at a rooftop terrace overlooking the city, Madrid offers a gastronomic journey unlike any other. Although in the same country, Barcelona offers something different from its sister city. Known for its unique blend of modernist architecture, Mediterranean coastline, and Catalonian culture, Barcelona offers something for everyone. Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces expand across the city, none more iconic than Sagrada Familia (where you feel like you are walking in a rainbow) and the whimsical Park Güell. Every visit to Barcelona includes wandering the vibrant streets of the Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas, where the city’s history and modern vibrancy come alive. I can appreciate Barcelona’s food scene as well—seafood paella by the beach is unmatched. For those looking for sun and relaxation, I cannot recommend the Costa del Sol enough with its beautiful resorts and Mediterranean views. This stretch of southern Spain’s coast is a paradise for beach lovers and those seeking a slower pace. It is so wonderful soaking up the sun on the golden beaches of Marbella and Estepona. The Costa del Sol is also a fantastic base for exploring nearby gems like Ronda, a picturesque town perched dramatically over a deep gorge, or the quaint whitewashed villages of Andalusia. This region blends traditional Spanish charm with luxurious resorts and stunning scenery, making it a perfect destination for any traveler. Beyond the major cities, Spain offers many smaller, yet equally captivating destinations. Toledo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of my favorites. This ancient city, just a short trip from Madrid, is steeped in history and offers stunning views, impressive medieval architecture, and a fascinating blend of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish cultures. Walking through Toledo’s narrow, winding streets feels like stepping back in time. Granada is another city worth exploring, especially the stunning Alhambra Palace, one of Spain’s most treasured architectural feats. This Moorish masterpiece, with its intricate tile work, serene courtyards, and lush gardens, never fails to impress. I love Granada’s laid-back atmosphere, from its lively tapas bars to its scenic views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Seville, the capital of Andalusia, is a city that perfectly captures the essence of southern Spain. It offers a vibrant culture, where flamenco, festivals, and food come together to create an unforgettable experience. The grand Seville Cathedral, home to the tomb of Christopher Columbus, and the Alcázar of Seville, a royal palace with stunning gardens, are two of my favorite landmarks. I love wandering through the orange-scented streets of the Barrio Santa Cruz and visiting the Plaza de España, an architectural marvel surrounded by a beautiful park. Spain’s culture is amazing, especially its emphasis on community, tradition, and enjoying life to the fullest. Whether it’s a relaxed evening sharing tapas with friends, a lively fiesta in the heart of Seville, or a tranquil afternoon in the countryside, Spain’s way of life is incredible .With a deep appreciation for Spanish wine, I highly recommend pairing meals with the country’s best offerings, from the robust reds of Rioja to the crisp whites of Rías Baixas. Whether you are looking to explore historic cities, relax on the coast, or dive into Spain’s culinary delights, Spain has something to offer anyone.

An Amazing Anniversary in Mexico!
My husband and I recently celebrated our 15th anniversary with a dream trip to Mexico, and we have Emily to thank for making it unforgettable! We knew we wanted something special, and Emily delivered beyond our expectations. She recommended Tulum and Akumal, and it was the perfect mix of stunning beaches, rich history, and vibrant culture. From lounging on the soft sands and swimming in the clear blue waters to exploring the ancient Mayan ruins, every moment felt magical.

Choosing between Hawaii’s islands felt impossible—until we found Emily. She created an in-depth guide outlining what each island had to offer, making our decision so much easier. Her knowledge was incredible, breaking down everything from top activities and beaches to the vibe of each location.
Thanks to her, we landed on Maui and the Big Island, and it was the perfect fit. She handled all the logistics—flights, resorts, rental cars, and excursions—so we could just relax and enjoy.
Emily’s attention to detail and passion for travel made this the easiest trip we’ve ever planned. If you’re struggling to decide on a destination, she’s the expert you need!

Emily’s passion for California made all the difference in planning our road trip. She’s been there countless times and knew everything—hidden gems, the best coastal drives, where to stay, and even the best local food spots. Her excitement was contagious, and her expertise made planning a breeze.
She mapped out the perfect route, from San Francisco down the Pacific Coast Highway to Big Sur, Santa Barbara, and San Diego. She gave us tips on must-see spots in Yosemite and Napa. Every detail was covered, so all we had to do was enjoy the ride.
If you want a travel agent who truly knows her destinations and cares about your experience, Emily is the best.

When we decided to take a trip out west to explore the national parks, we had no idea where to start. With so many options—Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Bryce Canyon, Zion, and more—we were completely overwhelmed. That’s where Emily came in, and we could not have done it without her!
Emily was incredibly patient as we sorted through different routes, park passes, and lodging options. She crafted the perfect itinerary for Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons that balanced adventure with relaxation, ensuring we got to see the must-visit spots without feeling rushed. She even helped us secure hard-to-book accommodations inside the parks, which made all the difference in our experience.
From rental car logistics to hidden hiking trail recommendations, Emily thought of everything. Her attention to detail made this trip stress-free and unforgettable.
We’ve worked with travel agents before, but none as dedicated and knowledgeable as Emily. If you’re planning a trip—whether it’s a city escape

Our Dream Vacation Made a Reality
Planning a big trip can be overwhelming, but thanks to Emily, our vacation was absolutely perfect! We had so many ideas and so many questions, but Emily was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, helped us narrow down our destination (we landed on Italy!), and crafted an itinerary that was beyond anything we could have imagined.
From flights to hotels to must-see sights, Emily handled every detail with care and expertise. She even helped us navigate last-minute changes with ease, ensuring that our trip stayed stress-free. Her recommendations—like a private food tour in Rome and a hidden gem of a winery in Tuscany—made all the difference.
I’ve never worked with a travel agent who was so dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our trip amazing. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for you, Emily is the best!
Thank you for everything! ?
