About Me

Caribbean, Europe, and Cruise Travel Specialist

Eleuthera, Bahamas & Cancun, Mexico
Eleuthera, Bahamas & Cancun, Mexico

My name is Heather Hunker, and I have been a travel advisor since 2019. My husband, two children, and I place great value on the time and money we invest into traveling. The experiences and memories we are creating as a family are truly priceless. My favorite travel destinations include anywhere in the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, Walt Disney World, and Universal Orlando. We also love cruises!! 

Along with my time spent qualifying you for the best resorts/itineraries based on your preferences, and then quoting each one, my range of services when booking with me include pre-travel and in-destination support in the event of any emergencies or changes that arise, pre-travel timelines and reminders of when additional items can be booked or final payments due, making modifications to your booking, and preparing all of your final travel docs and instructions, including my exclusive destination tip guides that I create for my clients (and update frequently each time I travel to a particular destination). You can ensure you are always getting the same person when you have a question, compared to booking online and dealing with call centers.

My value does not come in just finding good deals. It comes in the form of saving you time from researching. It comes with first-hand professional knowledge of a destination and learning what would be a good fit for you. My value is in your peace of mind knowing if something goes wrong, I am there to bat for you. Sometimes it comes in the form of correcting a mistake the resort has made, while you continue to sip margaritas ocean front. When you work with me, you’re a client—not just a booking number on a third-party website. 

I look forward to building this relationship with you!

First family trip to Mexico
Reviewed By Lavin - Clyde, Ohio | Traveled to Mexico
My husband and I normally take a trip to Mexico each year, just the two of us. But this year we decided to take our children and grandchildren as part of their Christmas gifts. We have worked with Heather for years, and of course, she was our "go to" in helping us to find the perfect all inclusive family resort for this trip. As always Heather did not disappoint, she listened to what we were wanting, asked about the ages of our kids and grandkids, likes and dislikes, and then gave us a few options to choose from. Once we made our decision, she took over from there, making the reservations for our group of eight, three different rooms, one including kids, found the perfect room categories, worked to secure rooms near each other, and also offered information on a "preferred package", which we jumped on. I don't think there was even one detail that Heather did NOT cover. She sent us a list of highlights for this particular resort, her "resort tips", what to pack, what not to pack, ways to make traveling with young children easier, some "must do's" specific to this resort, and of course she made sure we knew she was available with any questions, or situations that might come up. We had the BEST time, and made the BEST memories that will last a lifetime, and Heather was very much a part of making that happen. We are so incredibly thankful to her.

Exactly what this control freak needed
Reviewed By Mrs. Retro - Bowling Green, OH | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
We have never hired, nor have we thought of hiring, a travel agent. I am very Type-A, great at research, and don't like surprises. Hoping to alleviate stress, I reached out to Heather Hunker after several people had recommended her. Heather handled our Disney trip like she had a magic wand tucked behind her ear. From the first email message to the final day of our vacation, she kept everything organized, stress-free, and perfectly tailored to what we needed for this vacation. We stayed at the perfect resort, received helpful timing suggestions for meal reservations, and enjoyed other “little things” that make a big difference on a Disney trip. She handled it all before I even had a chance to overthink it. She checked in, she anticipated questions we didn’t even know we’d have (and several that we asked multiple times). When I panicked a week before our trip due to concerns about the government shutdown, she responded quickly and reassured me. The whole trip felt smoother and more special because she did the heavy lifting in the background. If you want someone who genuinely cares about your experience and knows how to make the most of a Disney vacation, Heather is it. I can’t recommend her highly enough and we've already reached out to her to plan our next vacation!

Absolutely amazing trip and experiences!
Reviewed By SLH - Toledo, Ohio | Traveled to London | England | Europe
Heather was amazing! She set up our trip on short notice and supporting us along the way. My wife and I decided to go to Europe with about 4 weeks’ notice. We contacted Heather and she was very quick and responsive. She got to know us, what we liked and what we were looking for. She provided multiple options for us to choose from. She was always available for questions and planning. Before we left, she gave us guides, tips for the area, additional places to see, etc. She booked several events/tours for us and all of them were fantastic. The entire trip was beyond our expectations. We had an incredible time and have memories that will last a lifetime. We will 100% use Heather for any vacations in the future and highly recommend her to our friends and family.

Amazing 20th Wedding Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By Brooks72305 - Wooster, OH | Traveled to Playa Mujeres | Quintana Roo | Mexico
We had a wonderful last-minute getaway to Atelier in Playa Mujeres, Mexico to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary — all made possible by Heather, our go-to travel agent! We’ve booked several trips with Heather over the years and keep going back for one reason: she’s simply the best at what she does. This time, we reached out just a couple of weeks before we wanted to leave, gave her our budget and a few ideas, and within no time she responded with five thoughtfully selected resort options across Mexico, Jamaica, the Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic. Heather didn’t just send us links — she provided detailed resort summaries, outlining the highlights, inclusions & exclusions of various packages and room categories, and flight details. It made comparing and choosing incredibly easy, and we never felt overwhelmed by the process. Once we booked, Heather went above and beyond to make sure we were fully prepared. From a personalized packing list, to tips on getting through the Cancun airport quickly, to a customized guide to our specific resort based on her own experience, nothing was overlooked. We felt completely taken care of, even before we left home. While we were away, we had peace of mind knowing Heather was just a call or text away if we needed anything (though everything went so smoothly, we didn’t have to reach out!). If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely caring travel expert who makes planning stress-free and fun, we can’t recommend Heather highly enough!
