About Me

Focused on You!

My expertise lies in curating itineraries that cater to the specific needs and preferences of each group, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable journey for all participants. Whether it's a corporate team building retreat, a school excursion, or a multi-generational family vacation, I thrive in designing customized travel plans that leave a lasting impact. One area that I specialize in is accommodating individuals on the Autism spectrum. With over 30 years of experience in understanding the frustrations and challenges faced by this community, I am well-versed in the necessary considerations and accommodations required for a successful trip. I believe in creating an inclusive environment that respects and supports the unique needs of individuals with Autism, ensuring their comfort and enjoyment throughout the journey.

Carole, you were my guardian angel in a time of family tragedy
Reviewed By Caregiver - New York, New York | Traveled to Oregon | USA
Carole, you were my guardian angel in a time of family tragedy and caregiver exhaustion. Cancer shows no mercy, but you did. I had reached out to you only knowing that you are a travel agent familiar with medical and disability travel. Mt dear friend of 30 years was in her last stages of her battle with cancer. Her dying wish was to return home to Oregon from New York. After hundreds of phone calls to charitys and to airlines with no avail of any progress i called an unfamiliar phone number and Carol answered. After a brief description of my struggle and a few tears Carol took over for me. It was as if she was now my family member in my corner fighting with me to navigate both medical and travel arrangements. Unfortunately, my dear friend passed as we were starting to make the necessary travel and medical accommodations. I will always remember your kindness and willingness to help a total stranger in their worst hours of grief and frustration. I truley believe you are an angel to all you help while providing your services. Eternally grateful, Tanaya

Spices in the Market

India - but can we get there by car?

In my years of working in as an educator I have been fortunate to travel on business to many locations across the United States, but the one opportunity that truly stands out for me was when I was asked to travel abroad to help research the possibility for a student journalism program. It would not only be the first time I would use the p...

I have information from each state to plan trips

On the road again

I come from a very large family - I have eleven siblings. That means that big vacations were pretty much out of the question. I remember going camping a few times (it always rained) and driving to Iowa to visit relatives (before the current US151 was expanded).  I took my first plane when I was 17 - and it was on my own. I discovered it w...

But that changed when the family that I babysat for invited me along on their family trip.  We drove from Oak Creek to New Smyrna Beach, Florida - cementing my love of road trips.

Client Testimonials

Never used a travel agent before
I've always done my own bookings using hotwire, but that was when I was traveling on my own. This time I needed to travel with students, overseas, and I wanted to make sure that the trip was organized, financially sound and most importantly, safe. Carole was recommended to me by a friend who had worked with her before, I have to admit at first I was skeptical that the added booking fee would be worth the cost. How quickly those fears and worries were pushed aside. I was immediately impressed by her knowledge of the area we were traveling to and the different options available for our trip. Needless to say that I would never trust my students to anyone else and more importantly, I am deleting my hotwire account. I no longer need it. Limitless Travel is the only way I will plan future trips. I highly recommend Carole and hope you will have the same wonderful experience we had.
