About Me

Embrace the culture of your destination!

I'm a world traveler who craves new adventures, but still wants luxury at the end of the day... and, yes, you can have both!

Growing up, I was actually terrified to travel. The idea of not knowing how to navigate a situation - like how to get through customs, or hail a taxi when I didn’t know the language - made me so anxious!

Instead of letting my anxiety hold me back, I turned it into a strength. I became really good at planning seamless itineraries that gave me and my travel companions confidence - even while we dove into new (and sometimes scary) experiences together.

Since then, I’ve swam with whale sharks in the Sea of Cortez, explored the colorful souks of Morocco, sand-boarded active volcanoes in Nicaragua, and so much more.

If you yearn to explore the world, but you’re worried about all the “what ifs” that come with it, let me take care of it all for you.

Whether your idea of the perfect escape is experiencing new cultures, or treating yourself to luxe spa services at an upscale beach resort... I've got just the trip for you!

Incredible Honeymoon!

Reviewed By Rosie - Shrub Oak, NY | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico

Forward Momentum Travel knocked it out of the park for our honeymoon! We gave Sandra our budget and "must-haves" and we were blown away with the trip she arranged for our honeymoon! Between booking and our travel dates, the resort changed ownership, which she navigated easily, leaving us with NO STRESS! She was knowledgeable about the different resorts, amenities, pros and cons. With so many variables, I'm so glad we had such personal service taking care of our every step!! I will never use another booking platform!

GreatmTrip

Reviewed By MM - Whitesboro NY | Traveled to Sicily ~ Italy ~ Europe

The trip we recently took to Sicily was just outstanding. Since two of our party had some concerns about mobility, we decided to use a travel agent versus a big tour group. We could not have been more pleased with the result. We put our faith in Sandra’s company and we were not disappointed. Sandra gave us lots of suggestions on what to see and where to stay. Two of our party wanted to trace down ancestors and she couldn’t have been more helpful. Both parties had excellent results on the hunt. And as far as accommodations—all excellent choices. Each hotel matched what we planned on doing in the area so it was super convenient. Sandra also hired all our guides and transportation vehicles. Again each guide we had did not disappoint. Fabulous Fabio, Lovely Sara, fun Annalisa Alessi, and Angelo and the aspiring actor in rome were all fun and informative.

A trip of a lifetime-visiting ancestors homeland!

Reviewed By Ann - Utica, NY | Traveled to Sicily ~ Italy ~ Europe

Sandra was wonderful - she provided a custom itinerary for the "bucket list" of places we wanted to visit. She was very understanding and accommodating to make necessary updates before we finalized the itinerary. She was available during our trip when we had questions. She made all the arrangements for hotels, local drivers, tours and experiences. We are all very pleased with Sandra's attention to detail and thank her for sharing her knowledge and essential tips to make our trip so enjoyable and memorable!

A Wonderful Trip to the Nordic countries

Reviewed By Rod - Rochester, NY | Traveled to Nordic countried

Once again, Forward Momentum Travel put together a great trip for us, this time to the Nordic countries. They set us up with “Nordic Visitor” for an 11 day tour to Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. Once that was all set, we decided to add on a couple days of camping in a National Park near Helsinki, Finland. They found a young man who would pick us up at our hotel, provide all the food and camping equipment we would need, and take us camping. His company is called “Finish Friend,” and he was a true friend. The main tour, itself, covered lots of high points in the three Scandinavian countries with some free time built into the schedule. The guide for that part of the trip had to do some serious transportation re-scheduling because of washed out roads and unusable train tracks in some areas due to the very heavy rains Norway had suffered a few weeks before we got there. All in all, another fun trip designed for us by Forward Momentum Travel.

Perfect planning and emergency response

Reviewed By Margy - Rochester, NY | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico

Sandra started the planning for our most recent winter trip by asking us questions about the kind of experience we were looking for. Her questions led us to give her the answers that she turned into a reality well beyond our imaginations. We loved the destination that she recommended to us and were so grateful for her pre-trip recommendations about trip insurance, and her availability, guidance, and action when I sustained an injury on the trip and needed to use that insurance. With her help we were able to access the care I needed including arrangements with the airline to provide wheelchair assistance on the return home. She enhanced my pre-existing confidence in her knowledge, commitment, and follow-through. I don't intend to travel outside the US without her involvement.

Sandra Wimbert responded

"Hi, Margy! Thank you so much for this glowing review! We are so sorry about your injury, but are so glad we were able to provide assistance from afar! We look forward to your next adventure!"
