A Bit About Me
Hi there! I’m Andi, your personal travel advisor.
​
I am a cruiser, explorer, and lido-deck lounger. I got the travel bug when I was little and have had the pleasure of traveling throughout Europe, Canada, Mexico, America (all but six states), and the Caribbean. From the second I stepped on a cruise ship gangway, I found my love for being at sea and especially, the all inclusive experience. I've been cruising since 2008 and have great knowledge of ships, itineraries, on-board activities, as well as the intricacies that make a cruise a great experience.
​
I am a natural planner, organizer, and logistic completer. My career started in public relations with an emphasis in event planning. From intimate dinners for 50 to galas for 500, to public grand openings for thousands; my attention to detail and going above and beyond for my client is always at the center of everything I do. I have studied abroad in Greece and Italy, studied Killer Whales off Johnstone Strait in Canada, traveled solo around America in 2014, and am always looking for how to make travel the most exceptional experience.
​
I am down to earth fancy. What does this mean? It's a way of travel that ties authentic experiences with an elevated touch. It's the subtle things that take my trip up a notch. A chef's table experience, a glass of champagne being offered as I board a ship, a cold towel being handed to me as I come back on board after a hot day on an excursion. It's all about the little things that make my experience feel fancy.
​
When you work with me, you will get concierge service from the first point of contact to after you return home from your travels. I will ensure that you are taken care of and will provide expertise, attention, and everything you need and want to have a memorable vacation.

Where will you travel next? Let's plan together.
Why Book With A Travel Agent?
relatable
I am a real person who cares about your experience. Unlike booking engines, I will respond directly to individual questions and requests, no matter how small or unique. I build relationships with my clients and put a lot of thought and care into your travel.
connected
I am connected. I work with many travel suppliers and know which representative, destination management company, or on-the-ground personnel to contact before, during and after your trip. I also have access to things that the average traveler doesn’t, like charter flights and experience upgrades.
resourceful
I will save you time and money. A study by the American Society for Travel Agents (ASTA) found that travelers using a travel agent reported saving an average of $452 and four hours of planning time per trip. That's a lot of time and money!
experienced
I am a product and destination expert. I have experienced the cruise ships, destinations, and excursions and would never book you for something I wouldn't book for myself. If I haven’t personally experienced it, I know which resources to turn to for trusted, accurate advice.
detail-oriented
I pay attention to the details. As an experienced travel planner, I know the best times to visit certain destinations and which cabins are the best fit for your travel needs.
stress-free
I eliminate the stress and anxiety associated with planning travel. Rather than search through dozens of confusing websites, as a travel advisor, I act as a one-stop-shop for you, no matter how complex the trip.
helpful
I am an experienced traveler and have many helpful travel tips and tricks to make your trip easier. For example, I will advise my clients on what clothes to bring for a week-long cruise, or how to prepare for a lengthy flight.
proactive
I am proactive and will anticipate your needs. I will recommend restaurants to match your dietary needs and book excursions with your adventure level in mind. I will keep my eye out for potential price drops on your cruise and will ensure that you are taken care of should you face unforeseen circumstances during your trip, like bad weather.
passionate
I am fueled by my passion for helping others. At the end of the day, travel is about making memories. For me, helping to create those special moments is what drives me to go the extra mile for my clients. The same can definitely not be said for online booking engines!
inspiring
I provide travel inspiration. Many people know they want a vacation, but aren’t sure where to start. I am full of creative ideas and suggestions that will make each traveler happy!
