A little About Me: 

My name is Ashley and I reside in beautiful Rhode Island with my husband Raffi. Since I was a teenager, I have always loved planning vacations. From international escapes to weekend getaways, there is nothing I enjoy more! Some of my favorite destinations include Mexico, Greece, Bali, Vermont, Costa Rica, and Disney World.  I also planned our entire destination wedding which was in Orlando, Florida.  After 6 years working as a refocus Guidance Counselor in a local school district, my position was one of over 200 that was unfortunately consolidated due to drastic district changes.  After much self-reflection , I soon realized this was a blessing in disguise. I have always wanted to help others plan their perfect vacations and finally, this was my chance to start something I have dreamed of doing for many years. I opened my own travel agency, Take off to Paradise Vacations, LLC and could not be happier!When I am not planning personal or client travel you can find me exploring local beaches, restaurants, and coffee shops. I am always searching for new adventures and day trip ideas. I also work in our local school districts as a substitute teacher & guidance counselor.
