I have traveled extensively and became a travel agent to help others with their travel planning. The reason to use a travel agent is to take advantage of the knowledge that I already have of the destination that you want to visit.  I will save you hours of time planning and a lot of stress before, during, and after your vacation.  

I am dedicated to planning stress-free vacations that exceed your imagination.  I specialize in my clients, superior customer service, and excellence.  My goal is to curate the best possible vacation for you and help you create memories that will last a lifetime.

I specialize in beach vacations.  Think about lounging on the soft sand in the Caribbean,  Mexico, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Belize, Florida, or California. Or wander through Europe, immersing yourself in the breathtaking atmosphere, rich culture, and fascinating history, discovering iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum in Rome, and the enchanting gondolas in Venice along the way.

I also love to help people plan their cruise vacations.  With an ocean cruise, you can enjoy so many wonderful beach destinations during your cruise while enjoying the wonderful amenities on your ship during your cruise.  You can also see many destinations in Europe with a Mediterranean cruise.  Or you can take a smaller river cruise in Europe, Asia, or Africa and get a more immersive cultural experience while you're in the destination.

I am also an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner and Universal Studios Certified Vacation Planner.  I have extensive knowledge in planning trips to send people on any Disney vacation or Universal Studios vacation. Remember that Disney offers more than its theme parks.  With Disney, you can book a cruise, take a memorable trip with Adventures by Disney, and even combine trips to customize your vacation!

My goal is to plan your best vacation for you and make sure you enjoy it completely without all of the research, stress, and long hours of planning.  Let me do the work for you so you can just enjoy your vacation!

Allyson did a great job planning our trip to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios.  She anticipated all of our needs and took care of some of our needs while we were there.  Thanks to Allyson's planning, our trip was easy and very enjoyable.  I will definitely use Allyson again to plan my next trip and would recommend her to a friend. -- Emily Simon

Allyson definitely made our vacation better.  With all of the COVID changes, it was great to have someone who knew what was happening in the Walt Disney World parks so we were prepared. -- Heather Johnson

She was so knowledgeable and kind. She listened to what I wanted and did her best to accommodate our family. She rocks!!! -- Patience LeBlanc

My Reviews

Most memorable trip - NYC for the Macy's Parad
I needed help to plan a once-in-a-lifetime Thanksgiving trip to NYC to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I was lost as to where to even start. The best thing I did was to call Allyson to help me. My entire family of 10 planned to go, ranging in age from 78 to 5. I had many requirements, the first of which was "parade view" rooms so that we could watch the parade in our pajamas from the warmth of our room. Allyson handled every aspect smoothly. She got us the best rooms that I could have imagined with parade views at balloon level. We had restaurant reservations for all 10 of us every day. She helped me organize and plan every aspect so that all ages of our group had the best time. My 9 year old niece had such a great time that she now plans to go to college in New York. We will see if that pans out, but it was a trip that all of us will remember forever. I have no doubt that I will be using Allyson for trips in the future.

Awesome Travel Experience - Italy
Our trip to Italy was amazing thanks to Allyson. She helped us choose the perfect route through Italy and was so helpful at putting together the itenerary. Allyson found some really unique experiences/tours that we would not have known about on our own. She was very organized and made the whole experience seem so easy. We had 5 travelers which complicated the travel, but Allyson was able to find very reasonable rates and worked with the local renters to make our experiences unique. Allyson really puts a personal touch on the whole experience which took so much pressure off of us. What an amazing experience! We will definitely use Allyson again for our next travel adventure!

Great Anniversary trip to Alaska!
She was very helpful and kept herself updated about our flight changes and then passed that on to us. She did a good job of finding activity options for us in each city. The best thing she did, was keeping up with the Norwegian sales after we booked and got us better deals that saved us money twice!
