About

Native NY-er living the coastal dream in Charleston, SC. Whether I'm uncovering new local experiences, long-weekend roadtrips, or once-in-a-lifetime journeys, I find the difference is always in the details.

Travel style

The local experience—with a luxurious twist. I like discovering the hidden gems and little details that can make a big difference. The nondescript restaurant that serves sushi you can taste for days. The secrets to avoiding the lines, finding the best views, and stretching your dollar (or pound, peso, yen…). But I also know sometimes all you need is a spa treatment, a bold red, and an infinity pool—especially as a mom whose had her fair share of amusement parks.

Cara's reviews

Cara was wonderful from start to finish and was just so helpful in the research and booking process of our trip. She checked in with us before our stay and was available to help throughout our travels. I would not hesitate to book with Cara in the future!

Cara Vollmer was the most amazing travel advisor EVER. She was incredibly thoughtful, a great listener and put together a flawless itinerary that the entire family loved. The hotels were fabulous, the experiences and the ease for which she made it all. Wouldn't book with anyone else. She went so above and beyond and created such a memorable experience for the family. The family kept thanking Cara the entire trip.

Cara was great to work with! Not only did she book everything for us last minute with rates better then what was published, she was able to pick a property that perfectly fit our family’s needs and personalities. When another member of our group had a last minute change, Cara went above and beyond in coordinating cancellation and refund for them. I highly recommend Cara and would definitely use her services again!
