EXPLORING THE WORLD YOUR WAY
I have been traveling since I was born and I haven’t stopped. I grew up in seven states and have visited an additional 29. I made my first international trip in second grade. My first career before becoming a travel advisor involved working in developing countries, and that was followed by teaching and taking middle schoolers to Europe for Spring Break.
I love delving into the details of a trip to make it special and unique for the person or people traveling. We all have different expectations for travel and different travel styles. We can work together to plan that ideal trip.
There is a wide world out there to explore and I can’t wait to help you plan your next adventure.

▶EXPLORING EUROPE YOUR WAY
Europe is my favorite place to travel. It’s amazingly easy to get around from country-to-country. It’s also wonderful to stay in one place and explore a country fully. If you ask me my favorite European country - it's a tie between Iceland and Poland. Iceland has an amazing geologic history. And ...Read More ▶

Best family trip!!
Reviewed By Susanne - Burke, VA | Traveled to Alaska | USA
When I mentioned to Cheryl that I wanted to take a family cruise to Alaska she got on it and sent me a questionnaire to determine what our family was looking for in a cruise. She then presented me with multiple choices and we determined the best option based on timing, excursions, and length of cruisetour. Prior to leaving for our cruise, she sent us a detailed itinerary with everything we needed to know!! It was so helpful and greatly appreciated! Thank you Cheryl for helping make our first family cruise a success.

40th Birthday at Hard Rock
Reviewed By PuntaPuntaCana - Eldersburg, MD | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
From the start to the end Cheryl was with us all the way. Cheryl was prompt with her answers to all my questions and I had plenty. Anytime there was a slight change with a flight she would reach out and make sure we were ok with it. Two weeks out she confirmed everything and made sure we had all our documents and things together. Hard Rock was great no issues with anything. The accommodations she booked for us were top notch. Food was decent, especially Zen and the pool snack bars. Get your reservations to Zen early. Transfers to and from Airport were easy. I would definitely recommend Cheryl for all your travel needs.

Hard Rock Punta Cana Family Fun
Reviewed By Winecey - Sykesville, MD | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
My husband and I, our daughters and their partners, our three grandsons, 15,12,and 8, and two other families just got back from a glorious 5 day trip to The Hard Rock Hotel in Punta Cana, DR! Thanks to Cheryl, it was a fabulous experience for all!! After we told her what we were looking for, Cheryl got right on it and helped with scheduling flights, booking rooms, arranging ground transportation to and from the resort, informing us of important documents that were necessary for our trip, and so much more! Our vacation was glorious for all…ages 5-72!!! We would highly recommend Cheryl if you’re looking for a great experience!
