About Me

snorkeling with sea lions in the Galapagos!

I have been planning travel for over 30 years, so it made sense to finally start my own Travel Planning Business once my only child started to grow older.

I am dedicated to assisting you with every step of your vacation planning process, whether it be helping you decide on a destination, choosing the best resort or sailing for your needs, or recommending the right activities, restaurants or excursions on your trip. My experience, commitment, thorough researching and attention to detail means that you have someone who has the knowledge to help, someone who is making sure that all the boxes are checked, and someone you can count on to step in when things need to be taken care of.

In me, you have an advocate and assistant in your corner, ensuring that you are prepared for travel, that we have done all we can to help your family make unforgettable memories, and that a lot of the stress of the planning process is taken off your shoulders.

When you engage me to design your vacation, you have someone who not only has an encyclopedic knowledge of many destinations around the world, but the taste and style to curate a truly unique and special vacation for you.

I care about your family’s vacation and strive to provide a level of service that goes even more than above and beyond. You can head off to your holiday confident that I have offered you the best options, made you privy to the latest bits of insider knowledge, and will continue to fine-tune behind the scenes details to enhance your vacation in any way possible.

Simply put, when you book travel with me, you will be well taken care of. My clients become my friends and eventually, we become like family. Allow me the pleasure of planning your next vacation and see what a difference my white glove service can make.

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.

Celebrity Cruise Line
