About Me

Spontaneous could not have come in a greater form than when I decided to quit my job,book a trip to Mexico,and a trip to Cambodia one week later.Cambodia was my most spontaneous trip,and I do not regret a single piece of it! 

If you happen to visit during mid- April, you can experience the New Year celebrations and partake in the festivities that are also widespread in Thailand. Known as Songkran, wash away the misfortunes of the new year in an epic water fight that is fun for all ages. The same also occurs in Thailand if you are considering visiting both places.The region is full of history.

Travel back in ancient times and appreciate the history of the Khmer and understand Buddhism on another level.Spend a day(s)  touring ancient Temples and UNESCO world heritage sites such as Ankgor Wat, Ta Prohm where Angelina Jolie filmed Tomb Raider,Banteay Srei,"Indiana Jones Temple,and Bayon. If you are an early riser,you can view an unforgettable sunrise and water reflection of Angkor Wat surrounded by Lotus Flowers.There are temple monks offering ceremonial blessings that make for an unforgettable experience,and a little more luck for your journey. You can also cycle through ruins for a more active  tour adventure.Make it a point to take a dip in the holy waters of Kulen Mountain and meet the locals that live there. 

You can also visit floating fishing villages, rice farms, lotus farms,elephant sanctuaries, take exotic food tours and try some daring cuisines, markets, holy pagodas, waterfalls,  incredible spa offerings,ATV quad rides, and visit the most amazing 3D illusion museum you can experience! The possibilities are endless for family fun, couples, or solo travelers. 

Then after a long day venture onto Pub Street where you can enjoy tuk tuk rides, rolling bars, cheap massages and food, henna, hair services, great music,apsara shows, and feel alive with nonstop fun all night! Book your next trip to Cambodia through me and we will have so much fun booking this.

Family trip of 10 made EASY!
Reviewed By Ambar_297 - Aruba | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
Monique was knowledgeable in the information she provided and had all the "heads-ups" we needed for our trip! Provided pictures to ease our concerns and made all the best recommendations and reservations. Even the hotel staff was wondering how our family was in their VIP-wing without being part of their VIP-travel-club. Monique hooks you up!! Traveling made easy.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Our first trip to Croatia - thanks, Monique!
Reviewed By The Wanderer - Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, Zagreb | Traveled to Croatia | Europe
Monique was wonderful to work with, and really helped us create an unforgettable vacation in Croatia. Monique was a pleasure to work with - upbeat and happy and resourceful. She provided us with excellent options to choose from, and really tailored our trip according to what we wanted. She followed up with us many times to ensure all details were set. She gave us a "heads up" about changing our flight away from Newark airport, even before we'd heard about the issues there on the news. Monique was also a great resource during our trip when we had 2 or 3 questions. She was very responsive. Overall, it was a great partnership for our trip, and we expect to work with Monique again in the future.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Great Trip planned by an even Greater Travel Agent
Reviewed By Panda - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to Williamsburg ~ Virginia ~ USA
Monique did a wonderful job planning a family trip for myself and my siblings to Williamsburg, VA. While I was already somewhat familiar with the area, she was able to provide us information on 'hidden gems' within the area that we were not aware of!
She was very thorough from the beginning to end of the trip by all the right questions to ensure she had all information needed to plan a wonderful family vacation. She was very responsive to all questions and did a great job of ensuring we were as prepared as possible for our long weekend. She made sure we were able to include fun activities for everyone (children and adults) as we visited Busch Gardens, Lounged out on the beach for a day, and we were even able to do a little retail therapy at the Tanger Outlets after a little wine tasting at the Williamsburg Winery (only the adults ;-) ). I cannot wait until my family is ready for another weekend retreat, as we will be reaching out to Monique for her wonderful services once again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    A Leap Of Faith-My Experience in Cambodia

    Of all my travels, Cambodia will forever hold the number one spot of my most spontaneous solo endeavor. I booked this trip one month prior to departure, after I gambled between here, Sri Lanka, Bali, and Amsterdam just simply seeking to go somewhere I had never been. I was also on a spiritual and mental health note, seeking to heal and reset. 20...
