New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
With over seven years as the Owner of Brightside Travel Co., I am dedicated to crafting seamless and memorable travel experiences for clients. Drawing on my expertise in sales growth and travel planning, I specialize in planning trips to destinations including Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Hawaii. I am also well-versed in coordinating vacations with various cruise lines, Walt Disney World, and Universal Orlando Resort. My career in travel began after one of my children was born with severe food allergies, and Disney became our safe place for family travel. We traveled there frequently, and through those experiences I learned so much and truly fell in love with both the destination and the planning process itself. As I realized how overwhelming Disney vacations can feel for families trying to navigate all of the details, I began helping others plan their trips as well. Disney vacations will always hold a special place in my heart and remain some of my favorite trips to plan. Within the last three years, I’ve expanded my business into coordinating group travel, including groups of 25+ travelers to destinations throughout Mexico and the Caribbean. I truly enjoy managing all of the moving pieces that come along with group travel and creating seamless experiences for clients. More recently, I’ve also begun planning escorted group travel throughout Europe, as well as European river cruises. River cruising has quickly become one of my favorite ways for my clients to explore Europe, and I’m so glad I expanded my portfolio to include these types of travel experiences! My mission is to simplify the complexities of travel, helping clients create cherished, lifelong memories. I aim to provide exceptional support and personalized guidance, ensuring each trip feels effortless, enriching, and that my clients feel comfortable, confident, and fully prepared for their destination. One of the most rewarding parts of what I do is seeing clients return home full of joy from their experiences and already excited to plan their next adventure. Watching that spark for travel truly come alive and knowing I played a small part in creating those memories-is incredibly fulfilling.
As a committed travel advisor, my intention is to help my clients create lifelong, core memories as easily and effortlessly as possible. Traveling can be an enriching and rewarding experience, and my hope is to create a trip that everyone will enjoy and cherish for years to come.
