During my honeymoon in 2001, my husband surprised me by booking our first cruise. We loved cruising so much that it quickly became a tradition for us, and today, we continue to bring our kids and family on cruises around the world!


I’m a very passionate traveler, and I’ve been the go-to person for bookings in my group for as long as I can remember. After years of booking for family and friends, I opened my own travel agency in 2013 to help everyone enjoy their dream vacation!


I live in central Illinois and serve clients all across America, and I specialize in:



  • Family and group vacations

  • All-inclusive trips

  • Cruises

  • Theme parks

  • And more!


I book everywhere from Europe to the Caribbean Islands and beyond, and I’m certified with many leading brands like:



  • Norwegian Cruise Line

  • Disney College of Knowledge

  • Sandals

  • Karisma

  • Plus more!


I’m a European Culture and Heritage specialist, and I’ve helped many people experience the best of Europe’s towns and attractions. I’ve also booked many adventure tours in the Caribbean Islands with activities like kayaking, hiking, zip lining, and more. I’ll listen to you and help you create an individualized itinerary that pleases everyone in your group.


I’ve helped families travel abroad with their kids for the first time, and I’ve helped couples enjoy scenic cruises with the greatest meals and activities at each destination. As your travel agent, I’ll take care of all bookings so you can have a customized trip that works for your entire group. I’ll make booking and traveling completely stress-free, and I’ll be ready to assist you with anything you need at all times.


Recently, one of my clients broke their leg while traveling in the Swiss Alps, and I worked quickly to make sure they had the best care and then found new lodgings for their trip. I’ve also helped clients who’ve missed their flights or left important things behind, and I always go the extra mile to ensure their complete satisfaction.


I want you to love everything about your next vacation. With years of experience booking unforgettable trips, I’m excited to create yours today!

Beautiful beach getaway!
Alicia is phenomenal to work with. She is knowledgeable, detail oriented and passionate about what she does. We couldn’t ask for a better person to help us plan our travel!

We’ve used Alicia several times now for travel and have always had the best experiences. This trip she helped us plan for a group of 16 friends to celebrate a number of 40th birthdays among us. Alicia made great recommendations on resorts based on the groups’ wish list. We ended up going with Secrets Isla Mujeres and it ended up being a trip of a lifetime.

Alicia takes care of every last detail to ensure the trip went smoothly and that everyone had peace of mind going in and a great time during our stay. She pulls out all the stops.

We just got back and can’t wait to start planning our next adventure with her. Thank you for everything, Alicia!

Family Disney Trip
Alicia took the time to provide us with options that fit our requests. Without having to ask, she booked us reservations at restaurants, and then we were able to decide if we wanted to keep them or make a change. Prior to our trip, we had copies of her recommended itinerary, which was very helpful when going to the Disney parks. In the past, we have not used a travel agent when going to Disney, but she was able to share tips with us that I never even knew about! I would definitely use her again in the future!

My Bucket List Trip
Alicia was so helpful, and patient, in planning my dream "bucket list" trip! She worked with the airline when I needed to make changes and she handled the arrangements with Globus Travel for my tour group. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
