My journey to being a Travel Specialist was sparked by my own personal travel experience. Exploring the Dominican Republic was part of my journey as a Travel Specialist in the Caribbean’s hidden gem. I've had the privilege of turning dreams into reality as a Dominican Republic Travel Specialist. The Dominican Republic, a dazzling jewel in the heart of the Caribbean, has become my professional playground and personal passion. With its endless beaches, vibrant culture, rich history, and welcoming people, this country offers something for every type of traveler.
From bustling colonial cities and luxurious beachfront resorts to remote waterfalls and cultural treasures, the Dominican Republic continues to inspire me—and the many travelers I serve.My journey began with a single trip to Punta Cana. The beauty, vibrancy, and energy I found there lit a fire in me that still burns today. I was instantly captivated not just by the stunning landscapes but by the warmth of the Dominican Republic. My travelsalso took me to the beautiful resort Tracadero Beach Club resort, Santo Domingo, Cabarete, Saona Island and My deep familiarity with the Dominican Republic has made me a trusted advisor and specialist for clients seeking more than just a vacation there.
In addition, I have traveled to Mexico for several trips to resorts and the top destinations. My experience was a unforgettable blend of culture, luxury, and adventure. Explore Cancun’s stunning beaches and world-class resorts, Mexico City’s vibrant art, food, and beaches views. Tulum’s serene eco-luxury retreats, and Los Cabos’ dramatic desert-meets-ocean beauty. Indulge in gourmet Mexican cuisine, from street tacos to fine dining, and shop handmade jewelry, and stylish clothes in lively markets. Whether you're relaxing on the beach or immersing yourself in rich traditions, Mexico offers something magical for every traveler.

Kenya Safaris Travel Agent Advisor Life on the Serengeti plain
Into the Heart of the Kenya, your Ultimate Safari Journey Begins Here. Meet Your Guide, Monica. A Passion Born in the Kenyan Bush. There are few places on Earth that grip your soul and never let go. For me, that place is Kenya—a land where golden savannahs stretch beyond the horizon, where elephants march with ancient grace, and where the echoing chant of the Maasai people awakens something primal within.
I am more than just a travel agent. I am your personal guide into the wild heart of Africa. My journey into Kenya’s wilderness began 5 years ago with a single visit—an experience so transformative that it set the course for the rest of my life. I have walked the plains of the Serengeti, watched the Great Migration thunder across the Mara River, and shared tea with Maasai elders under the shelter of acacia trees. Each visit to Kenya deepened my love for this magical land and gave me the privilege of forging connections not only with its landscapes but with its people.
I bring that passion and firsthand knowledge to you. Whether you dream of photographing lions in golden morning light, watching a baby elephant take its first steps, or dancing with Maasai warriors under a blanket of stars, I am here to make it real—for you.
Why Kenya? Kenya is the original home of the safari—a Swahili word meaning “journey.” In addition, Kenya is one of the top African countries to visit. Kenya offers an unrivaled blend of wildlife, landscapes, and culture. This is where the pulse of Africa beats strongest. It is where National Geographic dreams are born and come alive.From the rugged escarpments of the Great Rift Valley to the endless plains of the Maasai Mara, from the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya to the palm-fringed beaches of the Indian Ocean—Kenya offers a sensory experience that goes far beyond a checklist of animals.
My top curated recommendations when visiting Kenya include:
1. The Maasai Mara National Reserve Best known for: The Great Migration, Big Cats and Hot Air Balloon Safaris. When people think of the ultimate African safari, they’re thinking of the Maasai Mara.
2. Samburu National Park, best known for: Rare Wildlife, Authentic Culture, Off-the-Beaten-Path SafarisIf you’ve seen the big five and are looking for something unique, Samburu is your answer. Located in Kenya’s arid north, Samburu offers a raw, untouched feel.
3. The Serengeti (Tanzania Extension)Although not in Kenya, no safari story is complete without mentioning the Serengeti. As someone who has visited this iconic park multiple times, I highly recommend combining your Kenyan safari with a journey across the border into Tanzania.The Serengeti is the southern stage of the Great Migration and offers a slightly different flavor—vast plains, kopjes, and endless horizons.
Why Travel With Me? There are countless safari operators out there—but very few who have walked the land, broken bread with its people, and built relationships with the communities and conservancies you’ll visit. Here’s what sets me apart:?
*Firsthand Experience - I’ve lived the journeys I craft for you. I don’t rely on brochures—I rely on memories and trusted connections built over years.
*Personalized Itineraries. Every traveler is different. Whether you’re a honeymooner, a wildlife photographer, a solo adventurer, or a family with kids—I create tailor-made safaris that match your dreams and exceed your expectations.
I am here to guide you every step of the way.Let me turn your bucket list into a heartbeat.Contact Me Today to start planning your once-in-a-lifetime journey into the soul of Africa, the amazing country of Kenya and Tanzania.
My Reviews
I had the pleasure of visiting Kenya about 10 years ago and had always wanted to go back one day. Me and several family members had decided to plan another trip to Kenya and Tanzania as well. My cousin suggested a travel agent to help us plan and book the trip. I was referred to Monica who is an African Travel specialist and she was very knowledgeable. She was very patient and listened to all our trip requests and how much we had to spend. Monica was able to coordinate all that we wanted and to keep us on budget. Me and my family loved the beauty and adventure of Kenya and of course we had to also visit Tanzania to do a National park tour. The hotel, the food and the tour was amazing, we had a perfect family adventure. Thanks so much for your expertise. Monica is highly recommended as an African Travel Specialist.

I had wanted to take a cruise with my bestie and wasn't sure if we could afford it at the time. I looked online and saw a couple deals and I reached out to Monica from her social media deals posted. Monica contacted me the same day and we discussed what we wanted. She was able to get us a great deal for a 2 day cruise, which was perfect. We had a fabulous time in the Bahamas and the food was amazing and the views. We definitely recommend Monica to find you a great deal and we will be cruising again soon!

Our family was looking to do a family cruise and we had only taken them on a Disney cruise when they were young. We needed help in deciding which cruise line and the packages offered. My co worker referred us to Monica as a family cruise specialist. Monica was quick to respond and speak with us on what we wanted. Monica was able to put together a cruise package for our family that fit our budget and needs. Our cruise to Coconut Bay resort was so nice, we have a wonderful time. My daughters also really enjoyed it too. Thank you so much for making our cruise a reality.

Me and my friends had just graduated from college together and decided that we were going to take a girls weekend trip to Mexico. We had no idea of which resort we wanted to go to and wanted a package deal. We were referred to Monica as a Cancun Travel Specialist to help us with our booking. Monica was knowledgeable about the different resorts in Mexico and was able to work with our budget. We booked through her to visit the Hard Rock resort and it was amazing. The service, food and our suite was perfect. Monica is wonderful and I would refer her to anyone traveling to Mexico. Thank you so much.

I had just graduated from college and my parents rewarded me with a Punta Cana vacation. I knew that I wanted to go to a luxury resort, but I wasn't sure which one to go to. My neighbor had visited the D.R. and referred me to Monica as a Travel Specialist for the D. R. Monica was easy to reach and very knowledgeable about all resorts in the D.R. She listened to what I wanted and was careful to stay on budget. I finally selected a Punta Cana resort and was very excited for the trip. Our trip was great and there were no issues, and the resort was very luxurious. Me and my friend had an amazing weekend and will be booking another destination resort in the D.R. She is highly recommended as a Travel Specialist for the D.R.
