About Me

Specializing in Family Vacation Travel & More!

I have worked in the travel industry for over 5 years and have 17 years of customer service experience. My passion is in detailed-oriented planning, so I decided I want to do more than just book accommodations for clients: I want to be there every step of the way for their vacation planning journey and help create memories, that will last a life time! Taking my own daughter on recent trips to Walt Disney World Orlando strengthened by desire to pursue a career as a travel agent.

I grew up in Germany and have travelled all over Europe. Some of my favorite destinations include Cinque Terre in Italy, Cornwall in England, Amsterdam, Slovenia and of course - multiple destinations in Germany such as Cologne, Hamburg and the Rhine Valley (my home area). Europe doesn't have to be out of reach, I can help you put together an unforgettable trip, just pack your bag and passport!

In 2018, I visited WDW for the first time and as a lifelong Disney fan, I became a child again. I became hooked and we have been back multiple times. Travelling with young children can seem like a challenge, but it doesn't have to be! We have learned a lot of the in and outs of Disney World with toddlers on recent trips and I am ready to share my tips and knowledge!

My family currently resides in the sunny panhandle of Florida. We have lived here for over 8 years and have explored many places along the Gulf Coast on weekend and day trips and have taken cruises to the Caribbean out of Miami and New Orleans. My husband is Active Duty Air Force, hence I specialize in military vacation planning as I am always seeking out deals for military families.

One of my favorite parts of travel is the food! I always seek out the best places to dine, whether it's sweet treats or romantic dinners. Food lets you connect to a culture in a different way and I am ready to share my favorite places to eat!Let me help you create memories for your family and take the stress out of vacation planning!

Trips I love planning

I enjoy planning vacations where the whole family has something to enjoy - hence I always recommend cruises or a trip to WDW Orlando to my friends and family members.

I consider myself an expert in European travel as a German citizen and spending the majority of my life in this beautiful country. I will show you that European travel does not need to be overwhelming, we will find itineraries that will fit your family's needs and budget!

Magnificent European Vacation

Vanessa did an outstanding job as our travel agent. She communicated clearly from the start and always responded quickly to our questions. She really listened to our ideas and preferences, then used them to design a thoughtful and well-balanced itinerary that truly fit our travel goals. Throughout the entire trip, Vanessa was proactive in coordinating plans, transportation, and daily logistics, making the experience smooth and worry-free. She even checked in regularly while we were traveling to make sure everything was going well. Her dedication and attention to detail made our journey exceptional, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, caring, and reliable travel advisor.

Best trip we've been on
Reviewed By Jeff P - Kingsport Tennessee | Traveled to Dominican Republic | Caribbean
This was the first or of country vacation in 30 years of marriage. Vanessa listened to our wants and needs and she booked an unforgettable time in the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana. We will use Vanessa for all our trips from now on. This wasn't a one and done. We're already talking Mexico in the spring and the Bahamas in the fall.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
