My knowledge of Europe, Mexico and the Caribbean, understanding of the ins and outs of the travel industry and dedication to providing the best service possible enable me to create wonderful vacations for my clients.

Mother-Daughter European trip of a lifetime!

Reviewed By Marcey Stamas - Highland Park, IL | Traveled to Paris ~ France ~ Europe
Carolyn did an amazing trip for me, my daughter and her two friends and their moms. The hotel choices were great, perfect location and amenities and the details were 100% accurate. Her suggestions were fabulous, from sight seeing, to restaurants and transportation. And very well priced - amazing service from Carolyn - who is an experienced world traveler herself! Loved Paris and Amsterdam.

Hands Down the Best!!!

Reviewed By Luke and Erin Mishu - Chicago, IL | Traveled to St. Lucia Island ~ St. Lucia ~ Caribbean
It's impossible to put into words how incredible Carolyn was in helping us plan our honeymoon. I cannot imagine anyone being any better at their job . She was always extremely responsive (nights, weekends, vacation, etc.) and went way above and beyond the call of duty. To say she helped my wife and I plan our honeymoon to Sugar Beach, St. Lucia doesn't do her justice. She is an absolute rock star, and I'm recommending her to everyone I know.

Paris Senior spring break

Carolyn was ahead of the game and on the ball in every way. She was thoughtful and thought of things before we asked. She followed through and then followed through again.
