Give the gift of memories this Christmas instead of more “stuff.” ✨🎄

A Disneyland Paris trip is an incredible gift for families who value experiences you will remember forever. Even better? Pair it with a Viking Christmas Markets cruise that begins and ends in Paris, then add a few magical days at Disneyland Paris before flying home.

Viking’s Christmastime in Paris & Normandy itinerary begins and ends in Paris, making Disneyland Paris an easy extension—it’s about 45–60 minutes from central Paris by train or private transfer.

Christmas markets + Disney magic = an unforgettable holiday. ❤️🏰

This week I had the honor of planning an unforgettable honeymoon through some of Italy’s most breathtaking destinations, featuring three of the world’s most celebrated luxury hotels.

My couple began their journey in the heart of Tuscany at Borgo San Felice, a stunning countryside estate nestled among rolling vineyards and olive groves. They spent their days sipping world-renowned wines at local wineries, mastering authentic Italian recipes in a private cooking class, and indulging in an extraordinary Michelin-starred dining experience—all while soaking in the timeless beauty of the Tuscan countryside.

From there, they traveled to the iconic Amalfi Coast, where they checked into the legendary Le Sirenuse in Positano. Perched dramatically above the sparkling Mediterranean, this world-renowned hotel is celebrated for its breathtaking views, impeccable service, and effortless Italian elegance. They explored the charming streets of Positano, cruised along the Amalfi Coast by private boat, and experienced the magic of the famous Blue Grotto as the sea shimmered beneath them.

Their honeymoon concluded on the enchanting island of Capri at Hotel Punta Tragara, an intimate five-star retreat perched above the iconic Faraglioni rock formations. With spectacular panoramic views, luxurious accommodations, and an atmosphere of refined tranquility, it was the perfect setting to unwind and celebrate the beginning of their new chapter together.

Creating journeys like this—filled with unforgettable moments, extraordinary hotels, and memories that will last a lifetime—is exactly why I love what I do. It was truly an honor to bring this dream honeymoon to life. 🇮🇹✨

There are trips… and then there are the ones that stay with you forever. ✨

I’m still coming down from the clouds after spending almost three incredible weeks exploring Italy and Greece! Every stop was breathtaking, the history was fascinating, the food was unforgettable, and our cruise made it so easy to experience it all. Being able to unpack just once while waking up somewhere new each day was one of my favorite parts of the journey.

If Greece has been sitting on your bucket list, I just found an amazing opportunity!

🛳️ 11-Night Greek Odyssey
📅 January 19, 2027
🚢 Viking VELA
💲 Starting at just $3,799 per person

That’s about half the price of many summer sailings, making this an incredible value for a luxury Viking experience.

Greek Odyssey Itinerary:
🇬🇷 Athens (Piraeus)
🇬🇷 Ephesus (Kuşadası, Turkey)
🇬🇷 Rhodes
🇬🇷 Crete (Heraklion)
🇬🇷 Santorini
🇬🇷 Olympia (Katakolon)
🇬🇷 Corfu
🇬🇷 Dubrovnik, Croatia
🇭🇷 Split, Croatia
🇭🇷 Venice, Italy

One of the best-kept travel secrets is sailing during the off-season. We did an off-peak river cruise sailing last November, and it was absolutely magical. The weather was pleasant, the crowds were much lighter, and we had the chance to truly soak in the beauty, culture, and history without the long lines and packed attractions. It felt like we experienced these iconic destinations in a much more authentic way.

And Greece is just the beginning! Viking offers unforgettable voyages along the Rhine and Danube rivers, as well as incredible ocean and expedition sailings throughout Australia & New Zealand, Asia, Africa, Antarctica, and beyond. Whether you’re dreaming of charming European villages, ancient civilizations, or once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters, there’s a Viking itinerary waiting for you.

If you’ve been dreaming about checking an unforgettable adventure off your bucket list, I’d love to help you find the perfect sailing. I can also look at off-peak dates and special promotions to help you get the best value on a truly exceptional travel experience.

Your dream vacation may be closer—and more affordable—than you think. ❤️

There’s some thing so special about not only being a Platinum agent for the first time ever in June. But to be a platinum agent alongside my daughter, Taylor, who is also a Destination weddings specialist just means the world to me! Especially on the heels of her just having hosted her own destination wedding!

I want to wholeheartedly thank those of you who have referred other brides or clients traveling to Europe to me! I recently had a previous destination wedding bride refer two different brides to me, which is the ultimate compliment for me! I have another previous client who has referred me to so many of her friends who want to travel to Europe or stay at an all inclusive. I appreciate you trusting me to help your friends and family make their dream weddings, honeymoons, and bucket list trips come true!

✨ Twelve nights aboard the Disney Dream… and it has truly lived up to its name. It has been nothing short of a dream come true.

From the breathtaking coastlines of Greece to the timeless beauty of Italy, every port has felt like stepping into a postcard. The crystal-clear water, unforgettable excursions, incredible cuisine, impeccable service, and the comfort of our beautiful stateroom have made every moment feel effortless.

When it comes to planning vacations, I never take the decision lightly—especially when I’m asking my husband to spend his precious vacation time with me. Like everyone, we want every dollar and every day away to be well spent. This trip has exceeded every expectation.

For our first visit to Greece, I honestly can’t imagine a better way to experience it than with Disney Cruise Line. Disney has a way of combining world-class service with unforgettable destinations and that signature magic that makes every day feel special. And for families? I truly don’t think there’s a better way to explore Europe.

This has been more than a vacation—it’s been a collection of memories we’ll treasure forever. 💙✨
