About

I love how travel brings people together. I'm married and a mom of four grown children (grown but never too old for family vacations). Travel has always been our way of staying close. I genuinely enjoy helping people plan their trips because I know firsthand the joy and fulfillment that comes from a thoughtfully planned journey.


Travel style

Growing up in Spain for several years instilled in me a deep passion for travel from an early age. Since then, I have seized every opportunity to study, live or work abroad. While I appreciate visiting popular destinations, I find the most fulfillment and energy from exploring smaller, lesser-known locations. The immersion in local culture and the meaningful connections I make in these off-the-beaten-path places continually draw me back. Often, my trips are inspired by a distinctive local experience or a unique hotel, around which I plan the rest of my itinerary.

Deborah's reviews

Deb is the best! She is creative, always clear with communication and very organized. I'd totally recommend her to anyone who wants to plan an extra special trip.

Not one detail that wasn’t confirmed and Deborah made sure that all of our confirmations were emailed the day of our trip so that we would have easy access. So professional and passionate about making sure you have the best trip of your life! Deborah will definitely be our go to travel guru!

Debbie did an AMAZING job finding the Acanthus Blue for us! Debbie knew the exact vision I had in mind for a hotel, and we couldn't have asked for a better place. She went out of her way to find a hotel that was homey, had a quaint outdoor space, was slightly out of the main touristy part of town but still by lots of restaurants and shops.

Debbie did another amazing job at finding this hotel. She is always the best to work with and took into consideration all of the attributes I was looking for in a hotel. The hotel was in a neighborhood that I wouldn't have thought to look into as it was slightly out of the area that other people were recommending (Platka) but ended up being the perfect spot. It was in a much quieter, less touristy, nicer neighborhood. Thanks again Debbie!
