About Me

Small Ship Cruising and Escorted Tour Specialist

I have always had a passion for travel and discovery. Over the last 30 years, this has evolved into a business where I help clients experience unforgettable vacations. The stories and photos shared by clients upon their return are the highlights of my job, motivating me to refine my planning skills and expand my knowledge. I specialize in working with adventurers – those eager to discover new destinations or cross items off their bucket lists. My favored destinations to plan for are the Caribbean, Greece, Italy, and South Africa – places rich in history and opportunities for adventure. I specialize in group travel and often accompany these groups, making sure everything goes smoothly. Preferred suppliers I collaborate with are Windstar, Funjet Vacations, Atlas Ocean Voyagers, and Globus Family Partners. What sets me apart is my commitment to personal education. I frequently visit destinations to gain firsthand experiences, allowing me to offer clients a truly custom travel plan.

7 Night Caribbean Cruise on Oceania Cruises
Reviewed By Candace Krier - Fasterville Trevose, PA | Traveled to Caribbean
Badonna is the best. She handles all requests timely and efficiently with a real can-do approach. She is very personable and a good listener. She knew that I was interested in a penthouse upgrade. She stayed on top of the cruise offerings and called me three days before the cruise to advise of the upgrade's availability. When I said yes, she immediately got off the phone and booked it. Way to go Badonn-O!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The journey was filled with numerous highlights, starting with our business-class flights on Qatar Airlines in the Q-suites.
