I believe every itinerary should reflect the traveler behind it. That's why every recommendation, reservation, and experience is carefully selected with your goals and preferences in mind.
MY approach
not overwhelming
not ordinary
not rushed
What began as a love for travel on my first international trip to Europe in 2008 with a group of people from all over the world, became a passion for helping others experience trips in a meaningful way. I enjoy exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, trying local food, and discovering what makes each destination special. Great travel planning takes thoughtful research, careful coordination, and attention to detail.
With more than 20 years of experience in human resource management and an MBA, I bring organizational, communication, and problem solving skills to every trip I plan. I combine my professional expertise with my passion for travel to create personalized journeys that reflect your interests, priorities, and travel dreams. I make the planning process as seamless and stress free as possible.
My goal is simple: to help you feel confident, excited, and ready for your next adventure while I take care of the details. I want every adventure to feel uniquely yours!

From destination recommendations and accommodations to activities and dining suggestions, every detail is thoughtfully planned so you can focus on enjoying the journey.
“Alicia was incredible! Everything went SO smooth, we kept saying how lucky we were. There is no way we could have planned our Europe trip ourselves. Logistics has never been my favorite part of planning and Alicia took care of it all! She would point out really cool excursions or tours and book those for us though, so it was all handled when we got there. I could not recommend Alicia enough!”
"We absolutely loved using Alicia for our honeymoon trip to Europe. Neither of us had ever traveled internationally, so having someone to help book all the hotels and excursions was super nice. We really appreciated that she took the time to understand we didn’t want your “typical” honeymoon and planned things for us like touring the catacombs in Rome and visiting a concentration camp in Munich. We would definitely use her again in the future and recommend her for anyone needing some help making your trip perfect!"
"Our tropical vacation was amazing and went without any hitches, thanks to Alicia. Everything was as expected with no surprises. We look forward to working with her again."
"Alicia was very in tune to our needs, wants, desires and worked on options to help fulfill them. She was very attentive, provided a lot of helpful information related to our specific destination, and was very hands on during our trip. Very responsive when we needed assistance with something (even with such a time difference). We would definitely work with Alicia again and highly recommend her for planning your future vacation."
"Alicia was great to work with! She was very knowledgeable and also did a good job keeping me on track with planning. She even got us rebooked immediately when one of our flights was cancelled and took away a morning of stress that allowed us a few more hours of sleep!"
"I can't say enough about the hard work Alicia put into each and every detail to ensure we had the best experience possible. I totally recommend Adventure Awaits by Alicia for anyone who wants to have a truly stress free trip. The special touches made to make the experience wonderful really made a difference - like the special note waiting in our room upon arrival and travel transfers meant so much. If rating from 1-5 (5 being the highest score), I would give her a 10 😊"
“Alicia does a very good job planning your trip exactly how you want it! It helps you enjoy your vacation to the fullest. Let Alicia do the planning and all you have to do is the relaxing!”
“Alicia did an excellent job organizing 26 family members, ages 8 to 88, on an Alaska cruise. She made personal phone calls a priority for those who aren’t tech savvy and answered everyone’s many questions. She was kind, sincere and a joy to work with, and exceptional with older folks, which took the pressure off us working parents. I would definitely recommend her for your next adventure!”
