Marisa was amazing. Super responsive, extremely helpful and knowledgeable and so easy to work with. When we had a last minute big change in plans she handled everything seamlessly. I’ve never used a travel agent before - preferring to plan things myself. But the experience w Marisa was so great that I will definitely be using her again for future trips.

Marisa was there for any questions and to help us vet whether what deals were worth booking online vs waiting. This was a new experience for us and she answered all of our questions. She helped us set up the whole adventure with friends who raved about the hotel she helped them find. Will definitely use her services again.

We had the BEST experience booking our Virgin Voyages cruise thanks to our amazing travel advisor, Marisa!
From the very first message, Marisa was super helpful, incredibly responsive, and genuinely excited and enthusiastic for our trip - which made us even more excited too! Marisa answered all our questions (big and small) with patience and detail, and helped us unlock some seriously awesome perks that made our cruise even more special.
Couldn’t recommend Marisa more highly - will definitely be booking with her again for our next adventure!

Sailing Virgin Voyages: A Guide for Your First Time
In November of 2024, I had the opportunity to board the gorgeous Resiliant Lady for a weekend cruise. I had the best time and was able to see and enjoy some of the wonderful and unique offerings on board.
I have been working with Virgin Voyages almost exclusively for the last year. During that time, I have become an expert in the intricacies of the brand and have grown very fond of the product. I love how Virgin Voyages includes everything in their base fare and they do not charge extra for basic wifi, essential drinks, specialty dining, shows or fitness.
Virgin is a great value for those looking for an adults-only option with excellent food, new ships and a fun vibe.

Site Inspection at Club Med in Cancun, Mexico
In January of 2025, I attended a familiarization trip at the amazing Club Med in Cancun, Mexico. The resort is full of wonderful and attentive staff, affectionately called GO’s or Gentle Organizers in the brand language, ready to help you and your family enjoy Cancun and the Club Med property to the fullest. I would recommend this property to families looking for a property that is immersed in local culture and full of things to do, see and experience.

Luxury Hotels in Portland, Oregon: Ritz-Carlton Site Inspection
In February of 2024, I did a site inspection while visiting the stunning city of Portland, Oregon. One of my favorite stops was the newly opened Ritz-Carlton Portland; it checked all the boxes for what a new downtown property should have.
There is a welcoming lobby bar called Meadowrue, a gorgeous restaurant on the 20th floor overlooking the city called Bellpine, a state of the art spa, and a “must see to believe” pool and fitness center on the 19th floor. I have been referring my clients to this new and stunning property in Downtown PDX. It is certainly one of the best in the Pacific Northwest.

Discover the Northern Oregon Coast: Five-Day Itinerary to Explore Astoria, Cannon Beach, Manzanita, & Tillamook
My family has lived in Astoria since my great-grandparents settled on the east end, above Alderbrook, in 1908. The original home where my grandmother grew up still sits overlooking the mighty Columbia River, which has been an integral part of my family's livelihood for more than 115 years; the home remains in my family today.
