About
Always planning our next family getaway whether it's a day trip or five weeks an ocean away!
Travel style
Former broke study abroad student, now traveling with a family! Traveling with our now teen daughter since she was a baby has added such an eye opening layer to our travels by taking us places we never would have gone to without her! We definitely have a wish list of travel destinations, but some of our best trips have been to places where we happened to buy concert tickets or that we randomly saw on a travel show (Travel Man anyone??). I'm all about finding and maintaining that delicate balance between budget and value when it comes to accommodations, food, experiences and even transport!

Stephanie was incredibly helpful! She found my group a hotel close to everything (restaurants, shopping, public transportation) for a great rate! It was great service and would definitely use again!

Stephanie Cottrell was knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. If you are planning a trip, I highly recommend that you contact Stephanie for assistance. My trip to Club Med La Caravelle would not have been possible without her expert travel advice.

Stephanie was absolutely amazing. From the second we started our first phone call, I felt like she just got what I was requesting. I was so much more at ease knowing she was going to be there to help me! She provided me with a lot of great options for hotels and tours within a very short window of time. She definitely listened to the preferences and budget because everything she found fit the bill for both. She went above and beyond and helped us book/look into: luggage storage, ground transportation options, free day ideas, additional tours, etc. She gave us helpful tips and "countdown" check-ins. Even better, Stephanie planned things in a way that was SO smart. For example, on our first/arrival day in Spain, she proposed a walking Tapas/Wine tour. This was such a great suggestion, because we were really tired and out of it after the long travel day and didn't have to end up spending a lot of time or energy on figuring out what and where to eat. I will 100% use Stephanie's service again in the future and will absolutely recommend her to my friends!
