About Me

Domestic & International Vacations/Packing Expert

Seeing the great Pyramids was a dream come true.
Seeing the great Pyramids was a dream come true.

Hello, my name is Amber Fricke, I am based out of Des Moines, Iowa.  I have been traveling my entire life and love the process of researching, booking, packing and experiencing all the different aspects of a vacation, trip or holiday.  After helping so many friends and family members book amazing vacations and coaching them on how to pack smart for their upcoming adventure, I decided to start my own company in Spring of 2024.   

When I travel I enjoy seeing all of the touristy locations like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Great Pyramids of Giza, or the Acropolis in Athens, but I also like to experience the locals favorite spots as well. To see the countryside and travel off the beaten path to some of the most breath taking views and hidden gems this earth has to offer is a personal goal of mine.  I am always looking for a unique experiences that will set my trips apart from the standard things to do or see, something that will set my travel stories apart from everyone else.  That might be white water rafting in Costa Rica or a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Queens in Luxor, Egypt.  It might be meeting up with a historian/genealogist to learn more about a Great Grandfathers job while working at the London Tower in the early 1600's. 

Every trip I create is unique and personalized to your specific interest, dreams and of course budget.  It doesn't matter if it is a Family Trip with 3 generations all getting away together, a SURPRISE Trip, Romantic Vacation for 2, or just a chance to go somewhere new and experience new things, I'm here for you!  I also recognize how hard it is to travel when there are physical, medical or neurological challenges.  But that is no reason why going to a beach or exploring a mountain should be out of the question. Checking items off your bucket list doesn't only pertain to the young and health, but to everyone of any age, gender, mental or physical status.  I will work closely with you to make sure every situation is accounted for, additional support or mobility aids will be available so your trip is just as you imagined it to be.  

I am here to make you Vacation dreams a reality, I look forward to working with you from planning to packing, while you are gone, and of course hearing all about your amazing trip when you get back. (You're on your own when it comes to doing the laundry.)
