Hi, I'm Monica. For over a decade, I've been the person my clients call when they want their dream trip handled flawlessly—no stress, no overwhelm, just pure anticipation.
My approach to travel planning comes from 38 years in healthcare, where I guided people through vulnerable and pivotal moments with empathy and clarity. I was the calm in the storm—skills that translate perfectly to navigating travel logistics and ensuring every detail unfolds smoothly. When my Functional Medicine practice closed in 2023, what had been my passionate pursuit since 2015 became my full-time calling.
Decades of exploration have taught me that travel opens more than just maps—it opens minds and hearts. As a board member of my local ASTA chapter with multiple supplier certifications, I stay current through continuing education and ongoing personal travel—because the best recommendations come from actually being there.
I'm a proudly picky hotel snob, a self-proclaimed foodie who always scouts the cocktail list first, and whether I'm wandering solo or discovering hidden gems alongside my husband, I know that great travel is about those moments that make you smile long after you're home.

"Monica is AMAZING!! She has become part of our family! She has taken care of 2 trips for us ... they were both amazing! She did so much work, got us what we needed. Always there to answer my questions! Wouldn’t use anyone else!!"
Dominika N.
"Monica was an absolute wonder. Not only did she make this trip hassle free but she also absolute rocked a situation of my own making. Decided to extend my trip, and she not only negotiated a better rate for me at the resort but also made my shuttle to the airport effortless. Cannot recommend her enough!"
Hillary P.
"Monica made everything so easy, from my flight to my [lodging] to my cruise; all of the details were available to me in one place so that the transitions were seamless! Without her help, I would have been lost."
