About Me

Travel Agent / Advisor ~Easy Extraordinary Escapes

Planning meaningful travel is not for everyone. I help time-starved & info-overloaded people do just that, by custom crafting vacations to meet their needs & fulfill their wishes. Whether a quick getaway, an epic adventure or anything in between, I can help get the most out of your vacation resources. I am dedicated to continuous education on destinations and travel partners, through training and first-hand experience.  It is essential to stay current on an ever changing landscape, in order to provide something unique to every individual...one-size does not fit all in the travel realm. As a full service travel advisor I am able to book any kind of travel to any destination, but there are certain areas where I excel: travel styles like large or multi-generation families, groups, honeymoons/romance travel, active adventure, and luxury as well as places like Hawaii, the Galapagos, Mexico, the Caribbean and East African Safaris are my areas of expertise. It's time to plan your next escape.

Safari Expert - East Africa

Safari Expert - East Africa
There are places and experiences in this world that seem so far out of reach, we sometimes forget to dream of them.  We add them to our bucket lists and plant them in the back of our mind, with a hopeful "Some Day" stamp on it; knowing in our heart of hearts that it is too much to ask for; that "...Read More ▶

Active Adventure Travel Expert

Active Adventure Travel Expert
Active Adventure is not synonymous with "adrenaline" events.  I have no experience with the dangerous and death defying. OK, well then what IS an active or adventurous vacation?  It is pretty much any vacation where you do more than shop and relax on a beach; anything a little (or a lot!) ...Read More ▶

The Perfect Honeymoon
Reviewed By Nick & Kelly - Apple Valley, MN | Traveled to Great Exuma ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Erin was a pleasure to work with and made creating our perfect honeymoon simple and straight forward. We found Erin online and heard from her within a few hours after submitting our initial request. We were able to quickly set up a phone conversation to discussed the destinations and activities we were interested in for our honeymoon. Within 2 weeks Erin was able to provide us with multiple options for each destination at multiple price points within our budget. She was extremely knowledgeable about the booking process and was easy to work with once we decided to book. We were provided with a comprehensive travel packet before our trip and she was quick to follow up with us asking for suggestions once we returned from our trip. The hardest part of the entire process was deciding on which honeymoon package to choose.

    Iceland Waterfall

    Iceland - an incredible obsesssion

    In the fall of 2020, I was lucky enough to travel to Iceland.  This was my first time in Iceland and my first time traveling alone....like, really alone!  I was not even meeting people there that I knew. I don't know why, Iceland was so enticing to me. Living in Minnesota most of my life, you'd think I'd have had my fill of snow, ice and ...
