About Me

Living my best life at "50"  #AskMe
Living my best life at "50" #AskMe

As the visionary leader and creator of You Deserve It! Vacations, I am passionate about crafting exclusive travel experiences that transform bucket-list dreams into unforgettable adventures. With over two decades of experience, my journey in the travel industry was inspired by a memorable trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas, igniting the belief that everyone deserves the chance to explore the world and enrich their lives through travel.

With a focus on creating tailored travel experiences, I pride myself on reimagining traditional travel plans by infusing them with unique and personalized touches that cater to your individual desires. It's not just about visiting new places; it's about creating memories that last a lifetime and stories you'll share for years to come.

My dedication to crafting extraordinary vacations is deeply rooted in my love for family. As a devoted spouse and parent, I understand the significance of experiencing quality, life-enriching travels with loved ones. This personal insight drives my commitment to designing exceptional family holidays and lavish escapes for groups of friends, allowing me to share my passion and expertise in a way that resonates deeply with my clients.

My professional foundation is built on a comprehensive education, including a Bachelor of Business Administration in Human Resources from the University of North Texas and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix.  Continuing to sharpen my skills, I earned my Travel Agent Certification from Brookhaven College and didn't stop there. I've since garnered an impressive collection of specialized certifications, including Certified Travel Agent (CTA), Certified Jamaica Specialist, Certified Honeymoon & Destination Wedding Specialist, and Certified Sandals Specialist. After all, who wouldn't jump at the chance to become a connoisseur of lavish beachside retreats and an enthusiast in crafting romantic getaways that reignite the spark for couples?

My personal travel experiences span at least 34 countries, enriching my understanding and connections within the travel industry. These insights and networks now serve as invaluable resources for my clients, ensuring their needs and desires are just an email or phone call away. At You Deserve It! Vacations, our motto, #BeenThereDoneThat, isn’t just a hashtag; it’s a testament to our extensive expertise in crafting bespoke journeys that promise more than just a destination, but a treasure trove of experiences, including VIP treatments that far exceed what you might find in the maze of online travel booking platforms.

Bringing joy and fulfillment through travel is not just my job; it's my passion. When I’m not orchestrating dream vacations, you might catch me indulging in my own wanderlust, grooving to music, engaging in a lively card game, or making lasting memories with my husband back home in Texas.  Let's embark on this journey together, because let's face it, you ABSOLUTELY deserve it!

 

The "Olivia Pope" of Travel

It is my pleasure to recommend Queen Meador, her performance in working my destination wedding in St. Lucia was impeccable. Our group consisted of 18 people and she and her team handled all of their bookings, which allowed me to focus on what was important....the wedding!  My favorite part is when she had each person in the group to send her "selfie" pictures when they arrived at the airport so I could relax, knowing that everyone would catch their flight.  Just call her the Olivia Pope of travel because if there was ever an issue, she handled it!

The Time of our Lives in Thailand
Reviewed By Happy Travelor - Lantana, TX | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
Queen Meador is “The Travel Professional Extraordinaire”! Queen provided a comprehensive range of services, including flight booking, hotel reservations, and vacation packages. Her customer service was exemplary, she was friendly and knowledgeable as well as responsive to inquiries.

The booking process was smooth and user-friendly.
Moreover, the accuracy and reliability of bookings were commendable, with no discrepancies between what was promised and what was delivered. The accommodations were beyond our expectations and the tours/experiences were breathtaking. Additional amenities such as travel insurance, airport transfers, and tour guides made traveling more convenient and enhanced our experience.

Overall, my experience with Queen was positive, and I would highly recommend her to others seeking hassle-free travel boutique services.
