About Me

Monaco Grand Prix
Monaco Grand Prix

Travel planning doesn’t have to be overwhelming, especially when you want something extraordinary. I’ve been selling travel since 2006, and over the years I’ve helped clients design dream vacations that are luxurious, immersive, and effortless. Whether it’s a multi-country European adventure, a luxury ocean or river cruise, or an upscale self-drive itinerary through wine country, my goal is always the same: save you time, secure incredible value, and curate a trip that feels completely personal to you.

I’ve developed deep knowledge of the destinations and types of travel today’s discerning clients love most. My specialties include:

Multi-city independent itineraries in Europe

Luxury self-drive vacations in iconic destinations

Cruise planning across ocean, river, expedition, and world itineraries

Group, incentive and affinity travel - from small private groups to larger gatherings

Upscale hotels and resorts with priority amenities and recognition

If you know you want an unforgettable vacation but don’t know where to start, that’s where I thrive. We collaborate on what you want, and I handle the logistics, bookings, coordination, perks, and details that elevate the experience beyond a standard trip.

I believe that first-hand familiarity makes a difference, which is why I continually explore destinations and properties myself. In recent years, I’ve traveled to Italy, Greece, Turkey, France, Costa Rica, Canada, Germany, Holland, Mexico and beyond. During these trips, I’ve stayed at or conducted professional site visits across a wide range of luxury brands and independent standouts, from Salamander Resorts to Fontainebleau to Faena and many more. These visits allow me to provide honest guidance, first-hand recommendations, insight into room categories, neighborhood details, how the service feels, and which amenities matter most.

Through my luxury agency partnerships, clients receive preferred rates and elite benefits not available when booking directly, including: complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in and late check-out when available, resort and onboard credits, priority upgrades, special recognition during stays and amenities tailored to your preferences. The best part? My services are fully complimentary. I don’t charge planning fees, consulting fees, or per-trip charges. I’m compensated by the travel partners you book through me - never by you - so you receive premium service and exceptional value without additional cost.

Travel should feel smooth, thoughtful, and well-supported. I act as your advocate from the beginning of planning through your return home, providing personalized proposals, expert itinerary design, on-trip support when needed, assistance with dining, experiences, transfers, and special requests, making every detail feel elevated. Whether it’s ensuring a family receives connecting rooms, celebrating a honeymoon with a surprise amenity, or securing a last-minute reservation, I’m here to make your vacation feel seamless and memorable.

Some clients come to me with a fully formed idea of their trip, while others know only that they want “somewhere amazing” and need direction. Either way, I work collaboratively to turn your ideas into an itinerary that makes sense for your schedule, style, and budget. You don’t have to figure out multiple countries, transportation, hotel research, cruise options, or what’s “worth it” on your own. I bring experience, access, and time-saving coordination to the table so your travel is not just booked, but beautifully planned.If you’re dreaming of your next getaway and want something special, effortless, and full of VIP touches, I’d love to help you design it.

Bucket List Trip
Reviewed By Melody M. happily travelled!! - Chesterfield, Virginia | Traveled to Europe
I’ve wanted this European trip for so long. Heather helped make it a reality. She was so instrumental in helping me plan and made the absolute best suggestions that enhanced our trip 200%. I’ve told everyone who’s looking to go to contact Heather to help with their planning. I could not have pulled off all that we did on this trip without her leadership and guidance on how to ! So many more things I could say, she was a careful listener then planned and gave me options. The dedicated drivers that she suggested were next level and is something I’ll always use in the future. I can’t wait to book my next trip with her. As soon as I can save up some fun funds. ???????? a million thanks for making my dreams reality. Heather is the BOMB!
