About Empty Nester Getaways

Travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s about the experience. As an empty nester, you’ve earned the right to slow down, indulge, and explore the world on your terms. That’s where Empty Nester Getaways comes in.

I created Empty Nester Getaways to help travelers like you—those who have raised their families built their careers, and are now ready to embrace a new chapter of travel. Unlike cookie-cutter travel agencies, I specialize in curated, immersive, and high-end experiences that cater to your interests, pace, and style.

What Makes Empty Nester Getaways Different?

  • Tailored to Empty Nesters: I understand what empty nesters truly want—trips that are more meaningful, immersive, and stress-free. Whether it’s a luxury villa in Italy, a private food and wine tour in France, or an overwater bungalow in the Maldives, I create journeys that reflect your tastes and preferences.
  • Beyond the Bucket List: I don’t just check off destinations—I craft experiences. Think private, behind-the-scenes cultural tours, intimate small-group adventures, and first-class travel planning that ensures every detail is handled.
  • Personalized, High-Touch Service: No generic travel packages here. I take the time to get to know you, your travel style, and your dreams—so every trip feels like it was made just for you.
  • Years of Expertise: With years in luxury travel planning and a passion for creating seamless, unforgettable experiences, I’ve helped countless clients discover the joy of stress-free, perfectly planned travel.
  • Exclusive Connections and Perks: Through my industry relationships, I provide VIP perks, upgrades, and insider access to experiences you won’t find on Google.

Who I Work With

I work with affluent, experience-driven empty nesters who love to travel deeply. My clients appreciate comfort, quality, and unique experiences—whether that means a private yacht charter in Greece, a chef-led food tour in Spain, or a month-long European getaway filled with history, culture, and five-star stays.If you love travel but don’t love the hassle of planning, you’re in the right place. My job is to handle the logistics so you can focus on making lifelong memories.

Let’s Plan Your Next Journey

Your empty nest years are the perfect time to travel better, not just more. Let me design a journey that reflects your passions, style, and dreams. Ready to get started? Let’s talk about where you want to go next.

Immersive Experiences, Effortless Travel

“Empty Nester Getaways planned the most incredible trip to Italy for us. Every detail, from the private wine tasting in Tuscany to the sunset gondola ride in Venice, was flawless. We felt like VIPs the entire time!” - Susan & Mark T.

“As first-time empty nesters, we weren’t sure where to start with planning. Eric took the stress out of everything and created a personalized itinerary in Greece that was perfect. The mix of relaxation and cultural exploration was perfect!”  - Janet R.

“We’ve traveled a lot over the years, but our trip to Japan with Empty Nester Getaways was the most seamless and memorable we’ve ever had. The recommendations and attention to detail made us feel like locals rather than tourists!” - Robert & Linda M.

Mexican holiday
Reviewed By Happy girlfriend - new jersey | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
A few girlfriends and I decided to get a long weekend getaway, Eric was very helpful in our decision as to where to go, then he was able to find the best deal for us that included flights, transfers, hotel, all inclusive. We then were able to just enjoy our time away and not worry about anything outside of maybe what souvenirs we wanted to purchase. It was a very good getaway and all 6 of us had a wonderful time
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Bucket List Event Completed!
Reviewed By Cowboys Fan - South Jersey | Traveled to Dallas/Ft. Worth | Texas | USA
I asked Eric and his company to get me to a Dallas Cowboys game and put together some sightseeing in the Dallas area. I've been a Cowboys fan all of my life but have never seen a game in person. Eric made it happen! He set it all up and all we had to do was get ourselves to the airport and everything else was taken care of! Eric was Amazing!

Emerald Rivercruise and Lisbon
Reviewed By Happy traveler - New Jersey | Traveled to Lisbon | Portugal | Europe
Eric recommended this cruise line to our group and the land tour operator in Lisbon, the cruise was super great, ship was really good and the crew simply amazing. The excursion to Lisbon encountered a few glitches that were quickly resolved and we had a wonderful experience in that city. The tour guide we had made sure we got to see all that was to see plus more. It was a very good experience
