About Me

Eiffel Tower, Paris
Eiffel Tower, Paris

Being in the travel industry the past couple years has really opened my eyes to some amazing new experiences and has also allowed me to create amazing new lifelong friendships. With a background in Hospitality Business from Michigan State I am pretty familiar with the ins and outs of the tourism industry which has been extremely beneficial thus far in my career as a travel consultant. It also helps to have a strong passion for your work, which I do!

My biggest passion is for European travel whether it is planning my clients dream vacation or travelling there personally. Some of my favorite places I've been fortunate enough to visit are England, France, Ireland and soon to be Croatia. Being able to walk where many of the "greats" have walked, experience the culture, food, and see the sites that are sometimes thousands of years old are unique memories to each traveler that no one can take away from you. I want to help make this dream happen for you.

As your travel advocate I would assist you in all aspects of your booking including before, during, and after travel. My goal is to create unique and inspiring travel itineraries that exceed your expectations and to provide you with top-notch personalized service. Quality personal service is hard to find these days especially when booking online. We are here as agents to turn that stigma around. Why trust the Internet with your hard earned savings when you can have a personal guide along the way? You only get one chance to make your travel plans so leave it in the hands of something you can trust!

An experience of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Angie - Grand Ledge, MI | Traveled to England ~ Europe
Alyssa took over our booking for our trip to Great Britain a few months before our trip was scheduled. She was extremely communicative, quick to respond to any and all inquiries leading up to, and even during, our trip! She went above and beyond to make sure everything we needed was taken care of. She was even able to book us a VIP Harry Potter Studio Tour package within our preferred time frame with pretty short notice. I would highly recommend her!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Alyssa has helped us with several of our trips the past couple years. She has made planning a vacation so much easier and more fun. If I ever have questions, she is quick to answer - before and even during our trip. If you are wanting a care free vacation - start with a fun and easy planning experience - CALL ALYSSA!

Alyssa is the travel consultant you need & want!
Reviewed By Kristin - Portage, MI | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Alyssa was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure this was a vacation we will always remember. She was very thorough and organized. From planning unforgettable excursions to transportation to lodging, EVERYTHING was taken care of so that we could just enjoy our trip without stress. She was able to take our dream vacation and make it a reality. She answered all of our questions and provided helpful suggestions during the planning process. When an unanticipated family emergency cut our trip a bit short, Alyssa immediately worked (after business hours) to ensure that we were able to get home as soon as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Alyssa to friends, family, and co-workers...in fact I already have. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. She was truly that awesome and I plan on booking another vacation with Alyssa as my travel consultant.

Stari Grad Plain

Coastal Croatia & Game of Thrones

I recently spent 8 AMAZING days in Croatia with Intrepid Travel. With only 10 in our group and our local Croatian guide we were able to navigate easily as a group, hit all the best local restaurants, get insider scoop on the best excursions, have local cultural experiences that most tour companies can't offer, have a balance of free time and gui...

Riding the Rails of Japan

Japan is a country I was never quite sure I would make it to but I am so happy I did! I had an amazing opportunity to travel throughout Japan with G Adventures. What I loved about travelling with G was that the group was small (only 12 people!) so we were able to travel to each city by local transportation. That means we were on bullet trains, loc...

Active in Ireland

I recently had an amazing experience with G Adventures in Ireland. We travelled from Dublin to Galway, Killarney, & Cork. Because G is a small group, active & adventure based company we were able to experience the country differently than being on your own or on a large motor-coach tour. The highlight of my time in Ireland was our 9km hike along t...
