From custom trips through Europe and island escapes to cruises, milestone celebrations and one-of-a-kind adventures, I plan the details that bring the whole trip together, from where you stay to what you experience along the way.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE PLANS
Tell me where you’re thinking about going, who you’re traveling with, what matters most to you, and how you want the trip to feel. I’ll ask the right questions, sort through the options, and help bring the whole experience together around you.

WAYS TO TRAVEL
From custom international trips and island escapes to cruises, milestone celebrations, and one-of-a-kind U.S. adventures, these are the kinds of trips I love bringing together from start to finish.
From Europe to the Maldives, Caribbean and beyond, I plan the whole trip around you, including where you stay, how you get around, what you do & the details in between.
From Virgin Voyages and Disney cruises to river journeys, expedition sailings and all-inclusive resorts, I’ll help you find the experience that fits the way you want to travel.
Montana, Alaska, the American West and unique stays built around the kind of experiences you’ll still be talking about long after you’re home.
Honeymoons, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, multigenerational trips and those once-in-a-lifetime ideas you’ve been waiting to make happen.
You don’t need to have every detail figured out. That’s where I come in.
PERSONAL TRAVEL, PLANNED AROUND YOU
Before I start looking at hotels, resorts, cruises, transfers, experiences, or itineraries, I want to know what matters to you. Why are you taking this trip? Who’s coming with you? What do you love doing? What would you rather skip?
That’s what personalized travel planning should feel like. Not choosing pieces one by one and hoping they work together, but building the whole trip around the way you actually want to travel.
The more I know about you, the better I can bring the whole trip together in a way that feels like yours.
A FEW TRIPS I’VE PLANNED
A few of my favorite trips started with one idea that really mattered to the traveler. Sometimes that one detail ends up shaping the whole trip.
Jennifer’s daughter wanted more than a cruise. She wanted to get married on it. We worked through the details so she could be married by the ship’s Captain with her family there to share the moment.
Mark and Jacqui wanted to experience Montana together, but their dog was part of the plan from the start. So we built the trip around all three of them and made sure the stay worked for the whole family.
Matt and Heather already knew they wanted Iceland. One thing they really hoped for was an igloo stay, so we found a way to make that experience part of their honeymoon instead of giving them a standard itinerary.
If you’ve got an idea, a place, or even just a feeling, tell me about it. We can start there.
How it works
We talk about where you want to go, who’s coming, your timing, your budget, and what you want the trip to feel like.
I research the options, compare what makes sense, and narrow things down around what we talked about.
You tell me what feels right, what doesn’t, and what you want to change. We keep refining until the trip feels like you.
Once everything is booked, I help keep the important pieces organized and make sure nothing gets overlooked.
You head off with your plans in place, everything organized, and someone to reach if you need help.
That’s it. No endless tabs, no guessing, and no trying to piece everything together on your own.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
I’m Sammy, and one of my favorite parts of this job is getting to know the people behind the trip. I want to hear where you’ve been, what you loved, what you’d happily skip next time, and what’s been sitting on your travel wish list.
I’ll probably ask a lot of questions, get genuinely excited about your plans, and tell you honestly when I think something is worth the money or when it isn’t. For me, the best trips come from knowing the people I’m planning them for.
And once we’ve planned one trip together, I hope the next conversation is simply,
“Sammy, here’s what we’re thinking about doing next.”
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“S&J helped plan our family vacation, We chose a cruise out of Ft Lauderdale, They handled getting us to Florida, our hotel stays before and after the cruise and the cruise itself. Plan, communication and advice given was flawless not to mention the prices they got us on the cruise, were much better then I was able to find on my own…
100% recommend and will use again”

“I contacted Samantha to help me book a weekend getaway with my husband of our 25 year anniversary. I gave her a budget and a general idea of what I was looking for. She gave me 3 options to choose from and as soon as I made the decision to book, I paid for it. Once we arrived at our destination, she arranged for a nice bottle of champaign and a Happy Anniversary note. It was a pleasant surprise. I can’t wait to have her book our next trip 😊”

YOUR TRIP DOESN’T HAVE TO FIT A CATEGORY
The places you see here are only a starting point. If there’s a destination, experience, or trip you’ve been thinking about, tell me what you have in mind. I can help bring the hotels, transfers, experiences, dining, and other details together around the trip you actually want.
DON’T SAVE IT FOR SOMEDAY
There will always be another reason to wait. Work gets busy. Calendars fill up. Life keeps moving.
But the moments we remember usually happen because we decided to show up for them.
Someday doesn’t have to stay someday.
