About Me

Family, Couples, Group & Solo Travel Agent Expert

I have always had a love for travel, culture, and history. I can remember, I was always planning trips with a road map, encyclopedia, and travel books. I then started researching excursions using the internet. My first trip I did was we drove from North Idaho through Washington, Oregon, and ended in Santa Cruz, Calif. Some of my favorite trips I have planned include Westward expansion trips starting in St. Louis and traversing through the western US, memorable trips to the French Quarter of New Orleans and concluding with an alligator visit! I put my heart into planning each and every trip; romantic cruises in Key Largo, cultural excursions in Belize, and helping people find those rare, out of the way parks and incredible points of interest that most people miss or have never heard of. I delight in researching, learning, and discovering this planet we call home. The world really is a magical, beautiful, and amazing place, and I am excited to help you enjoy and explore it!!

Romantic Kid Free Getaway!!
Reviewed By Sami - St Charles, MO | Traveled to Key Largo ~ Florida ~ USA
Beautiful romantic week to Key Largo planned completely by Heather. My husband and I both work full time, and are full time parents so anytime we get alone together is rare and means a lot. With that said, our week long vacation to Key Largo meant the world to us both. We flew into Miami, had a fun, sporty, no kids allowed, rental car waiting for us upon arrival, checked into our hotel steps from the pristine beach and the gorgeous blue water. Heather planned all of our excursions with our highlight being the glass bottom boat tour. It was truly magical and a vacation we will remember forever. Heather made everything so easy and carefree. She was just as excited for us to go as we were to go. I will email her any and every time we are planning a trip or getaway. She is wonderful!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    UnBELIZEable Vacation
    Oh my goodness.Heather is amazing!! From the time I contacted her about planning our trip to the time we got home, she was with us every step of the way. Heather is very knowledgeable, knows what questions to ask, and plans the best trip possible. We had a couple of hiccups during our trip, but Heather was on top of things and took care of everything. My husband and I had an amazing time. The resort Heather picked was perfect and the staff there treated us like family. The tour company Heather scheduled for our Snorkeling tour was very kind and helpful. They even did a couple of extra things just to make it special. So I must give a shout out to Ramon's Resort and Ridge and Reefs! Heather.I cannot thank you enough for everything. From your kindness and understanding when we were frustrated due to the inevitable hiccups of being on vacation, to sharing amazing music videos to get us excited for our upcoming trip, you are absolutely the best! We can't wait to plan our next trip with you!
