The pillow-soft sand …
The unreal turquoise water …
The friendly butler at your beck and call, with an icy margarita (my fave!) in hand …
There’s a reason I specialize in all-inclusive resorts: nothing else delivers such a truly relaxing, pampered experience when you pick the right one.
I should know, because I’ve personally visited over 200 resorts—and trust me, I’ve seen my share of duds. The kinds of worn-out places that look great in the brochure, but offer watered-down drinks, rock-hard beds, and “gourmet” buffets that serve warmed-over hotdogs. (Seriously, what’s with all the hot dogs?).
While I love hotdogs just as much as the next red-blooded Midwesterner—that’s just not the island paradise I imagined!
Unfortunately, in an age where the right angle and Instagram filter even a total dud can look like paradise online—it’s hard to know which resorts really deliver on their picture-perfect promises.
And that's exactly where I come in.
I’m your boots-on-the-ground, been-there-seen-that resort expert. I’ve personally toured over 200 resorts (yes, really!) and have personal relationships with resort GMs and wedding coordinators. Plus, I keep a ‘do not send’ list—so you never have to experience the hotdog buffets and weak margs I’ve suffered through.
When you work with me, you can trust that what you see online is what you’ll get in real life—and often even better. My industry connections mean you’ll get VIP treatment without having to lift a finger. From narrowing down the perfect resort to booking every last travel detail, I handle it all.
Because the bottom line is—you deserve a resort vacation that’s well worth the money and time off you take to enjoy it. And if you’re seeking a resort to host your destination wedding or honeymoon, then that’s all the more reason to find something extra special.
Straight talk, killer margaritas, truly comfy beds, amazing service, and cutting out the “meh” to make room for the very best resorts I’ve personally vetted.
Buffets, plastic cups, sad drinks, scratchy towels, “Insta-Perfect” fakery, and pretending something’s luxury when it’s not.
Snuggling my dogs, on planning calls with delightful clients, road-testing taco recipes, or in bed with a great book.
Three cups of coffee, travel inspo scroll, planning epic escapes, putting out figurative fires, and sweeping up endless dog hair.
So let’s make sure your next escape is exactly what you’ve been dreaming of.

A Few Of My Favorite Things
Tacos—especially with extra-spicy habanero sauce. Bonus points if I’m eating them beachside with a killer margarita.
my happy place!
The beach (obviously!). My happy place, my idea lab, and my reward after inspecting 200+ resorts.
Donut and Billy, my rescue sidekicks who completely rule my life (and yes, I miss them like crazy when I’m off vetting resorts!).
My Favorite Things
Licor 43! I like it so much I once ordered two of them at the same time. No regrets.
my guilty pleasure
The Real Housewives. I know, I know... it’s trash TV at its finest, and I can’t quit you, Bravo!
My Kansas City sports teams. Go Chiefs, Royals and Sporting KC! We used to have Chiefs season tickets, but someone (ahem, me) kept missing games b/c she travels too much!
