About Me

Punta Cana with my honey!
Punta Cana with my honey!

As a special needs parent, I know how chaotic and beautiful life can be. Between therapy appointments, school meetings, routines, and everyday parenting, it’s easy to put your own needs—and your partner’s—on the back burner. I’ve been there. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping other parents like us discover travel opportunities that offer true rest, connection, and rejuvenation—because I’ve lived it.

One of the best getaways I’ve ever experienced? Virgin Voyages. This adults-only cruise line redefines what relaxation and luxury can look like—no kids, no stress, just you and your favorite person soaking in the peace.From the moment my husband and I stepped aboard, we felt like we could finally breathe.

The atmosphere was calm and refreshing—a complete shift from our everyday pace. Whether you're celebrating something big or just need a breather, Virgin Voyages creates space to unwind, reconnect, and have some serious fun.And let’s talk about the food—oh my goodness, the food! This is not your average cruise dining experience. There are no buffet lines here. Instead, you’ll find everything from fresh seafood and gourmet burgers to plant-based creations, all served in beautifully designed restaurants. As a foodie, I was in heaven. Every meal felt like a treat, and there was something delicious for every craving.

The entertainment on board? Also incredible. Each evening brought something new—live music, interactive shows, unique performances that made us laugh, dance, and just enjoy the moment. It was the perfect way to spend our nights together, away from the noise of everyday life.What stood out the most, though, was the exceptional service.

As a mom who’s experienced the ups and downs of traveling with special needs, I truly appreciated how thoughtful and welcoming the crew was. They go out of their way to make sure every guest feels seen and cared for—and that kind of hospitality means the world.We also made time to just relax. Poolside naps, ocean-view workouts, and post-gym smoothies were our new routine. It was calm. It was refreshing. And for two parents used to constantly giving, it was the reset we didn’t know we needed.

Now, I bring that same level of care and attention to detail to my work as a travel advisor. I’ve been in the industry since 2021, and I absolutely love helping fellow parents and busy families plan magical, low-stress vacations.

Whether you’re dreaming of the Caribbean, Europe, or a romantic adults-only cruise, I’ll take care of the details so you can just enjoy.When you work with me, you’re not just getting someone who knows travel—you’re getting someone who gets you.

I know what it’s like to need a break and how important it is to feel confident and supported throughout the planning process.

Ready for a Little “You” Time?Whether you're planning a celebration, a romantic getaway, or just need a chance to recharge, Virgin Voyages is a game-changer—and I’d love to help you experience it.

Let’s create a trip that’s everything you need it to be. Because you deserve a break. You deserve to be cared for. And most of all, you deserve the magic of travel—just like everyone else.Let’s start planning your perfect escape today.

This was our second trip Andria helped us plan. It was just as amazing as the first. The resort was beautiful, the excursion was a blast. We had a couple of hiccups with transportation for the excursion which Andria quickly helped us resolve. We are already planning next year’s vacation with her!

An awesome trip!
Reviewed By B&A - Rocklin, California | Traveled to Alaska | USA
My wife and I had never been on a cruise before and had no idea where to begin, or what to expect. Andria made it incredibly easy. We knew we wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise and had heard from friends that excursions were a must. Andria directed us to the cruise line that was appropriate for our age and interests, along with excursions that would suit us. No detail was too small; she even provided us with wrist bands that the identifying “medallion” could be placed in for ease of use on the ship. Her suggestion to stick with the same table (at the same restaurant) for dinner each night was also gold. As a result, dinner became one of the highlights of our trip as we looked forward to connecting each night with familiar staff. In both the big choices and the small details, Andria was spot on. We would recommend her services to anyone!

We will be back!
Reviewed By B&A - Rocklin, California | Traveled to California | USA
My wife and I have taken trips to southern California for a number of years to visit family and friends. We have dreaded planning this trip simply because finding reasonably priced hotels in safe places is not an easy task. Andria has changed our outlook. This year we asked her to find just that, reasonably priced hotels in convenient, safe places. We gave her our price range and the general locations we would be visiting. We couldn’t have been happier with her suggestions and the ease with which it all came together. We will be using her in the future!
Andria Monson responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear that I could help make planning your Southern California trip easier and more enjoyable. Finding safe, convenient, and reasonably priced accommodations can be a challenge, and I’m so glad my suggestions worked perfectly for your needs. It was a pleasure assisting you, and I look forward to helping you plan many more seamless and stress-free trips in the future! Thank you for trusting me with your travel plans!"
