The Full Story
First and foremost, I am a child of God and my goal is to show all of my customers the love and kindness Jesus showed while He was on this Earth. I have a passion for serving others and pray that by booking an experience with me you are able to find joy and a desire to share that same love and kindness with others. We all have a finite time on this Earth and there’s no better way to live than by sharing love and kindness while exploring this perfectly created world we have been blessed with!
Mission
To inspire a love and appreciation for our perfectly created world and those around us. ​
Vision
My goal is to provide my clients with the vacation they not only deserve, but allow them to have a flawless experience without having to lift a finger. I want to plan every detail of their vacation so that they are able to focus on the things that matter most in their life without the stress that sometimes comes along with planning trips. I want to show my customers such a kindness through my service that they feel excited and inspired to share this kindness with others.
Background
Working in the medical device industry for the last 6 years has instilled in me a need to encompass a servant mindset. It has become the reason why I do my job everyday and is part of the fulfillment I gain from this line of work, in addition to seeing firsthand how a patient's life can be completely changed for the better when they are treated with my products.
​
Since college, I have been the designated spring break and summer vacation planner. I was always in charge of booking accommodations and planning fun activities for my friends and I. This is partly due to my need for organization and control (something I pray about every day), but also due to the trust I built with my friends for always coming through with a good time for them. It led me to realize over the years how this need for organization and good, healthy control also contributed to my desire to serve others. I saw that not only was I able to fulfill what I desired, but also see how happy I could help make other people.
Experience
My husband and I got married in September of 2021 in Amalfi, Italy. After asking friends and family if this was a crazy idea or if they would actually join us for this, we had 30 people who were committed to embarking on a 2-week European vacation with us- not only for our wedding, but for an Italian and Greek trip of a lifetime. I spent January- August of 2021 planning every tiny detail- down to the minute of how long each drive or train ride would take to get to our next destination. I booked rental cars for everyone, made dinner reservations, booked winery tours, booked train tickets, and planned the majority of our fairytale wedding (with some help from an overseas wedding planner)- if we did it, I planned it. Every day it was all I could think about. I was so excited not only to share this trip with my closest family and friends, but also take the stress out of planning it for all of them! I even created a powerpoint and presented it to everyone 2 weeks before our departure to ensure everyone was fully prepared and aware of all of the details of our upcoming adventure.
The wedding and the entire vacation was a dream come true. Everything went as planned and it was all we could think about for months after our return back to the US. After this trip my friends and family greatly influenced my decision to create a vacation planning company. I began my research and discovered that so many people have a need for assistance with booking vacations- and so many are looking for something beyond your traditional travel agency. I immediately knew surprise vacations would be my niche!
Reality
As a society we are all overworked and in need of vacations. We are stressed and sometimes focused on the negative things of this world more-so than we are focused on how much God has given and created specifically for us on this earth! I would be the first one to share with you how having a demanding job in the medical device industry leads to stress, anxiety, and depression, and creates a necessity for time off. Even though we all know we need it, we think about the additional work required to plan and book a vacation and can sometimes be deterred from making it happen.
