I enjoy wandering off the beaten path, allowing myself the opportunity to experience the culture, languages and history of a destination in a different light. I enjoy authentic cuisine and local wines and appreciate the beautiful diversity that our world offers. I have a passion for planning luxurious yet affordable travel experiences with the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. I plan travel for my clients to fulfill their vision for their perfect trip on their budget.

Carey's reviews

Carey is wonderful to work with. She is a seasoned traveler so she was very helpful in finding a resort that fit our needs for this special family trip. She made sure about 2 weeks before our trip that we understood the travel requirements for our particular country. Also, clearly explained the transportation plans from and back to the airport. She followed up on our arrival to make sure we had gotten into the resort and settled okay. Then another check-in after returning home to ensure we enjoyed our time and were safely back home.

Booking was so easy with Carey. We let her know what we were looking for in a hotel and activities and she was able to find us a high-quality central hotel near everything and at a reasonable cost. Great experience working with her!

I cannot thank Carey Gooch enough for planning my incredible stay in Dubrovnik, Croatia! My stay at Sea Rocks Residence was absolutely amazing, a hidden gem just outside of the city walls. Carey also recommended amazing local restaurants, organized seamless transportation, and suggested hidden gems as well as organizing a walk of the city walls. This trip was truly unforgettable, and I’ll definitely be returning to her for my next adventure!
