About Me

My team and I bring trusted knowledge, strong industry relationships, and a commitment to exceptional service to every trip we design.I’m a certified specialist with Sandals and Beaches, major cruise lines and many of the Caribbean’s top all-inclusive resorts. I also have extensive experience planning group travel and destination weddings, ensuring every celebration is seamless, meaningful, and stress-free. My clients benefit from exclusive offers, insider insights, and personalized recommendations tailored to their unique travel style.Exceptional service is at the heart of everything I do. From our first conversation to the moment you return home, I’m here to guide you, support you, and make your travel experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.Outside of travel planning, my favorite moments are spent with my husband, our three adult children & their spouses, and our two grandsons. I love relaxing at my summer camp, attending NASCAR races, target practicing with my pistols, and—of course—traveling whenever I can. These experiences fuel my passion and help me connect with clients on a personal level.Let’s create a journey filled with memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime. If you’d like, I can also create a shorter version for social media, a more formal version for your website, or a more playful version for wedding clients.

Best trip ever!
Reviewed By Endless Wanderer - Colonie, NY | Traveled to Caribbean
Donna is an expert! She assisted my husband and I with planning our dream cruise. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Donna asked questions about our preferences and then was able to find us the perfect itinerary. She also assisted us with our port shuttle and vow renewal service. My husband and I had the most amazing time of our lives! Will definitely have Donna assist us with all our future travel needs. You should too!

Reviewed By Maria LS - albany ny | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
It was so nice to be able to tell Donna what our group wanted, needed and to know she was going to be there for us DURING our trip. If we had questions, problems, concerns or were just straight out confused....Donna was replied immediately. We all were able to relax and enjoy our trip from start to finish.

    Honeymoon
    Donna was an absolute pleasure to work with while planning our honeymoon! She helped us pick a perfect location and even better resort! She set up transfers for us to and from the resort to the airport and our excursions. We felt extremely comfortable and safe traveling to the Dominican for the first time knowing Donna took all the steps to ensure we would have a fabulous time. She always answers her phone in a timely manner as well which was reassuring for us… if we had any problems or questions we knew we could call or text her and get a quick response! We truly are so grateful for her efforts! We would not have been able to plan such an amazing trip without her! We will definitely use her for travel in the future!!

    BFF's to Playa del Carmen, MX
    Donna helped plan a fantastic trip back in January. With her vast knowledge of destinations, she created a trip of a lifetime for two best friends. Then Covid hit. She continued to monitor and reschedule. Keeping in touch frequently. Finally in October my friend and I finally made it to Panama Jack, Playa Del Carmen! We had an incredible vacation. Not just because the resort was beautiful, but because Donna made sure that everything was completely taken care of and that we were safe. We had a few hiccups but with her, it didn’t matter. We just kept making memories! Unfortunately during our trip we were caught up in Hurricane Delta. Yet, Donna stayed in touch the entire time! Our safety was most important. Her work wasn’t 9-5 for us. It was 24/7 and we are so thankful! I would HIGHLY recommend going through this agency for the BEST travel experience. You won’t regret it. I’m thankful that by chance, I have the best travel agent!!
