About Me

Dubrovnik Croatia, Cruising on the Katrina Line
Dubrovnik Croatia, Cruising on the Katrina Line

After 20 years of practicing yoga & a lifetime of fitness, designing Active Adventure & Wellness vacations for individuals & groups was a natural progression.  The trend in Active Adventure & Wellness Travel is to be engaged in activities, connect with nature & relax within luxurious surroundings. Being Active is wellness & the tourism industry has stepped up to meet the growing demand.

 Mexico & the Caribbean deluxe all-inclusive resorts now offer a full gym with a trainer, yoga, & Pilate classes, water sports, water aerobics, beach volley ball & more. When choosing a river cruise I steer more active clients toward Avalon Waterways & Ama Waterways. These river cruise companies include daily excursions for the active traveler such as hiking, kayaking and biking as well as on board fitness classes.  I cruised the Danube on AmaWaterways last year & was impressed with their fitness programs both on & off the vessel.

One of my favorite active adventure & wellness destinations is Costa Rica.    This exotic destination & natural paradise has fully embraced wellness trends with amazing Luxury Wellness Resorts. You don't have to go very far to find adventure in Costa Rica as you're surrounded by it.

The Best Spring Break!
Reviewed By Corina - St. Louis Park, MN | Traveled to Canary Islands ~ Africa
Andre was incredibly easy and comfortable to work with. She advised us on great locations to visit in the Canary Islands, as well as found us affordable and convenient airfare and lodging. She had a variety of suggestions for us to choose from, giving us room to select what we wanted while still giving us valuable information. I would definitely work with her again and highly recommend her services.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Vacation Exceeded our Expectations
Reviewed By Denise Pendlelight - Belfast, ME | Traveled to Yucatan ~ Mexico
I can’t thank Andre enough for her expert guidance and services! We truly had an over-the-top family vacation 30th anniversary trip --with two grown children and their partners--at a Yucatan resort. Andre was always professional and personable. She took time to learn about our interests and values to give us a small selection from the many possible resorts. She promptly responded to any stupid questions and needs with genuine care, creativity, and competence. As relatively inexperienced travelers, we felt safe in her hands, knowing we could call with any worries (and we did!) of travel amidst a pandemic. We're grateful for the destination she led us to as well as for the direct flight with shuttle service she arranged. It was the most "stress-free-of-logistics"vacation ever and I won't hesitate to call her again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The Perfect Combination
Reviewed By Happy Traveler - Phoenix, AZ | Traveled to France ~ Europe
Communicative and great with brainstorming to achieve the perfect vacation. We wanted to be gone about 3 weeks with a minimum of packing and unpacking. Combining the transatlantic crossing , long weekend in Bath, Seine Riverboat cruise and stay in Paris covered all of our desires. The arrangements all went as planned with minimal disruption. We never could have come up with the itinerary and arrangements on our own. So important to work with someone so attentive to our wishes.

Honeymoon on the Rivera Maya
Neither my fiance or I had ever used a travel agent before, and we decided to try using one for our honeymoon. Based on Time Travels' high marks on line, I decided to call them. I wanted to go to Cozumel for our honeymoon. Andre, from Time Travels, listened to what we wanted to do, asked some questions and then recommended staying on the Riveria Maya instead of Cozumel. She said we would be closer to the attractions we wanted to do/see and we could stay at a much nicer resort. My fiance and I talked it over and decided to go with her suggestion. We are so happy that we listened to Andre! The resort she recommended was fantastic. We really enjoyed our honeymoon. She organized the flights, resort, and our day trips from the resort. Everything went off without a hitch. I recommend Time Travels Inc. She listened to what we wanted to do, and then made suggestions based on her expertise, experience. We had a great honeymoon as a result of listening to her recommendation.

Absolute Dream Honeymoon
André planned an absolute dream honeymoon for my husband and I! We spent two weeks in Europe visiting Barcelona, Spain and Sorrento, Florence, and Rome, Italy. She was very knowledgeable about all the cities and gave great advice on hotels, tour groups, and general site seeing. All of our hotels were smack in the center of the city which made getting around very easy. Our rides were prearranged to and from airports and train stations which really alleviated a lot of the stress of commuting between bustling European cities. This was the European honeymoon we dreamed of and couldn’t have done it without André and Time Travels, Inc. We have recommended her to several of our friends who had amazing trips as well. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! She has been in the business a long time and really knows her stuff. She will give you her honest advise, listen to what you want, and help plan the trip of your dreams!
