I believe travel should feel seamless, personalized, and unforgettable from beginning to end. Whether you're dreaming of a romantic European getaway, a family vacation, or a once-in-a-lifetime wish list adventure, every itinerary is thoughtfully crafted around your travel style, interests, and goals.
Between work deadlines, kids schedules, and sports practices, you’re supposed to find the time to research flights, hotels, transfers, and activities. The average trip can easily take 20+ hours of research.
Endless tabs. Conflicting reviews. Too many options. And a nagging question: Is this the right choice?
One missed train connection or overlooked entry requirement can derail an entire trip. If traveling with a group there are different ages and thoughts on what trip would be best. Mobility needs, various budgets, and everyone counting on you to get it right.
Flights get cancelled. Luggage disappears. A storm rolls in or someone gets sick, and suddenly you’re standing in an unfamiliar airport, in a country where you don’t speak the language, wondering who to call.
I create custom travel itineraries designed around your interests, preferences, and travel goals.
You receive personalized destination recommendations based on the experience you're wanting. I narrow the choices down to handpicked hotels, resorts, villas, or boutique stays that fit your style and budget.
I plan and book all of your flights, transfers, ferries, and train rides. I also curate recommendations for tours, dining, experiences, and unforgettable local adventures.
Most places I book have a 24/7 concierge you can speak with in the destination if something goes wrong. And of course you can always call me.
We'll start with a conversation about your dream destinations, how you like to travel, and what’s on your wish list. I’ll also walk you through my planning process so we can both feel confident we’re a great match to move forward.
You’ll receive an invoice for my Professional Travel Services fee which covers my expertise, research, planning, and ongoing trip management for your entire itinerary. Your vacation is added to my calendar and planning begins.
I'll research, plan, and thoughtfully design a personalized travel experience tailored to you. Using my expertise and destination partners, I'll build a customized itinerary proposal with options for you to consider. It typically takes about 7 business days.
Together we'll review the proposal and make adjustments to your preferences before finalizing your itinerary. Once you’re satisfied, you can make a trip deposit to secure your travel arrangements.
Congratulations, your trip is booked! I’ll place your deposit, and your vacation is officially in motion.
Now you can pack your bags and enjoy your adventure knowing every detail has been carefully considered.

“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!”
