About Me

Gastronomy, Wellness and Luxury Specialist

When I travel, I seek out authentic experiences, unforgettable meals, rejuvenating spas, and elevated service that makes me feel truly valued. That’s exactly what I aim to deliver for my clients. I specialize in Europe, all-inclusives, cruises, adults-only getaways, luxury escapes, escorted tours, and theme park vacations. Whether you're dreaming of a seamless itinerary or a fully bespoke journey, I design every trip with your preferences at the center. My signature strength? I've personally experienced 90–95% of the destinations and properties I recommend, offering first-hand insights you won’t get from someone simply clicking through a search engine. I’m not just booking travel — I’m curating meaningful escapes backed by real-world experience and trusted expertise.

We Will Have A LifeTime of Memories!
Reviewed By Jonathan - NY, NY | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
I started working with Amy at least 4 or 5 months prior to the actual trip and I had no idea planning for a Disney trip would take so much effort. From the logistics to booking restaurants, learning about Genie+/ Lighting Lanes, rope drops, local places to visit, etc - I ended up with multiple spreadsheets. But at the end of it all, Amy gave me the tools I needed to understand the process, gave me countless email/ text responses of guidance and advice and made me feel prepared for the trip. Family had an amazing time, tiring of course, and we felt like we accomplished everything that we had set out to do in celebration of my son's 10th birthday celebration. Amy is so knowledgeable and has a wealth of information to share vs reading the blogs, scouring the socials, etc. She is so responsive with her comms and she truly loves her job, it's obvious. The support and guidance that she provides is invaluable and I would recommend her for Disney/ Universal/ and other types of tr
Amy Baird responded
"It was an honor to be part of planning your family's Universal and Disney World vacations to celebration your son's birthday. I was so impressed to see how you thoroughly read all the information I sent and truly mastered the intricacies of both parks -- you managed the trip to absolute perfection and your family owes a lot of the success of it to you as well! I am grateful to have been part of the journey and look forward to helping you create more unforgettable travel memories down the line."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amy the Travel Guru
Reviewed By Paula L. - River Edge, NJ | Traveled to Playa Mujeres ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
I have worked with different travel agents and Amy is simple the best. None of them can really compare with the amount of knowledge Amy knows. She is seriously a real life travel encyclopedia. The best thing is that she is an avid traveler herself and oftentimes she has personally visited hotels and other destinations herself with the goal of providing her clients first hand feedback about different travel destinations. She is not pushy and is very honest about the pros/cons of these resorts and destinations. She is also extremely organized and she always creates the best personalized itinerary for our family. I'm a big foodie and I trust all her restaurant recommendations! She really goes above and beyond for her clients. My friends have used her too and they are all very happy.HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Amy Baird responded
"Thank you so much! I have enjoyed working with you and your family, but most of all, I appreciate the numerous referrals you have sent my way. That speaks volumes to me about your satisfaction and trust in the services I provide for my clients. I do make it a priority to provide first-hand insights and knowledge to the families I work with, so I am so glad that you recognize and value that. Here's to many happy travels in the year to come!!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
