Make Your Next Trip One to Remember

I turn your travel dreams into unforgettable lifetime experiences!

Adventure Awaits by Alicia focuses on creating unique and memorable trips for travelers. Here are my top booked destinations.

Europe

Though the second smallest continent, Europe is home to the world's most UNESCO World Heritage sites. Explore ancient Roman ruins to medieval castles and wander charming cobblestone streets. Europe overflows with culture, history, and art.
Best Time of Year to Visit
For sightseeing in Europe, late spring and early summer offer the best warm sunny weather. However, I prefer the shoulder season (September-October) for pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and lower prices.
Must-See Sites
Casa Batllo, Spain; Sagrada Família, Spain; Acropolis, Greece; La Grand-Place, Brussels, Belgium; Stonehenge, United Kingdom; Mont-Saint-Michel, France
Sun & Sand Destinations

Looking for a relaxing beach vacation with white sandy beaches, deep blue water, and warm temperatures? Here are some of my current top booked destinations.
Best Time of Year to Visit
The best time to visit the Caribbean is generally from December to April. This is when you will typically find warm sunny days and calmer seas. The official hurricane season runs from June 1st - November 30th.
Must-See Places
Caribbean: Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, Belize, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, Antigua, Aruba, Anguilla, Turks & Caicos, and Curacao.
Other ideas: Maldives, Bora Bora French Polynesia, Fiji, Bali Indonesia, and Thailand.
Asia

Ornate temples, mouth-watering cuisine, and time-honored traditions are all part of what makes Asia so unique. There is so much to discover, from Beijing's bustling streets to the stunningly remote islands off the coast of Thailand.
Best Time of Year to Visit
Depending on where you want to go and what you want to see, the best time of year to visit Asia can vary. November to February is an excellent time to visit the south, while the north is more enjoyable in the spring and fall months.
Must-See Sites
Angkor Wat, Cambodia; Taj Mahal, India ; Hội An, Vietnam; Great Wall of China, China; Forbidden City, China

The Travel Consultation Process

Once you’re ready to start planning, we’ll start out by setting up a complimentary consultation by completing the intake form found HERE. We will set up a call so I can learn more about you, your expectations and preferences for the trip, and to ensure we are both a good match. This helps me customize the perfect experience for you.
Once we have agreed that we are a good fit, you'll receive an invoice for my Professional Travel Services fee. This fee covers my expertise, research, planning time, and ongoing trip management, including assistance with all aspects of your itinerary—from flights and accommodations to tours, transportation, and dining reservations. Once completed, your vacation is officially added to my calendar and I start the planning process.
*Note: the Professional Travel Services Fee is inclusive of up to 4 guests traveling on the same itinerary and sharing one room.
Now it’s my time to get to work matching the feedback you’ve given me to the right experience and destination for you! I start the research and begin planning your vacation. I use my expertise and work with destination partners to present a customized travel itinerary proposal and present options for you to consider. We will set up a 30 minute zoom meeting to go over the travel itinerary proposal, typically within about 7 business days.
After you take time to review your proposal, we will make necessary adjustments based on your personal preferences and lock in your official plan! Once you are satisfied with the itinerary, you can choose to make a trip deposit to hold the reservation. This step secures your travel arrangements.
Congratulations, your trip is booked! I make your trip deposit and your vacation is officially in motion! I take care of the accommodation reservations, flights, tours, transfers, and more! I will make all of the ongoing trip payments for you. I will be there for you step by step from now until you return. I will regularly check-in to answer any questions and send you some fun surprises to get you ready for your trip.
Between booking your trip and your travel dates approaching, you are sure to have a few extra things you’ve thought of that you’d love to have included. Rather than sending individual requests one email at a time, I will reach out to help make sure all of the little, special details are included in your experience to make your trip complete.
Two or three weeks before you leave, we will schedule a 30 minute meeting where we will discuss your travel documents, confirmations, transportation details, hotel arrangements, excursions, and other relevant trip information. I’ll send you off with hard and/or electronic copies of every document you may need. This includes your custom itinerary, reservation confirmations, and tickets. I’ll also send helpful reminders, recommendations, and travel tips unique to your destination! This ensures your are well-prepared for your trip.
When you board the plane, you will board with the full confidence that you have someone back home who has your back. My job isn’t done until you are home. During your trip I will be available for any questions or issues which might arise. Regardless of the problem, I will work to find solutions before, during and after your travel experience. This ongoing support ensures a smooth and stress-free trip. It's time for you to simply relax and enjoy your trip!
