About Me

Passion for travel

Travel isn't just a passion, it's a way of life. There is no better way of discovering yourself, than losing yourself in a new destination. A special person in my life once told me that "If you want to see anything good, you have to get off the highway." Traveling and exploring the world is something that I have been doing since I was a kid. Planning new adventures and going to new places has always been a passion for me. Friends have admired the awesome adventures I have taken and in turn would look to me for advice in helping them navigate the ever changing dynamics of their own travel.

First Cruise Ever!
Reviewed By Lynnea & Bruce - Colorado Springs | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Our travel agent Deborah was absolutely wonderful to work with! From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our concerns about taking our first cruise and our fears of getting seasick. Deborah patiently explained what to expect, offered helpful advise, and reassured us with her knowledge and experience. Throughout the entire planning process, she provided detailed information about our Alaska cruise, including excursions at each port and the many activities available onboard. Deborah's guidance made everything simple and stress-free, and we felt completely prepared for our trip. Thanks to her professionalism and expertise, our first cruise experience was unforgettable. My husband and I are looking to planning our next Cruise Adventure. We highly recommend Ms. Deborah Cox to anyone planning a cruise or vacation!
Deborah Cox responded

Absolutely Amazing Alaska Adventure!
Reviewed By emart7070 - Claremont, CA | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Our trip to Alaska in August 2024 was unforgettable, and it was all thanks to our incredible travel agent Deborah! From start to finish, every detail was perfectly planned — from breathtaking glacier tours and wildlife excursions to cozy accommodations and seamless transportation. She listened carefully to what we wanted and created a customized itinerary that gave us the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Her knowledge of Alaska was impressive, and her personal recommendations made all the difference — especially the insider tips on the best local dining and scenic stops. We never had to worry about a thing, and every connection and excursion went off without a hitch. We’ve already booked our next trip, and we’ll definitely be using Deborah again. Highly recommend to anyone planning an Alaskan getaway — you won’t be disappointed!

50th Birthday Adventure!!
Reviewed By Melissa - Claremont, CA | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
I am so grateful for Deb!! She made my 50th birthday trip a dream come true!! I knew I wanted to go to Madeira, Portugal to hike the Pico de Ariero trail, but I didn’t know where to begin. Deb found us a guided tour, all accommodations, and airfare that worked perfectly with our schedule and budget. There is no doubt that this trip would not have happened without Deb’s help!! I hope to do another trip with Deb again soon and highly recommend her!
