With more than 30 years of travel experience and over 500 nights at sea, I have turned my lifelong passion for exploring the world into a career dedicated to helping others do the same. In 2016, I founded Travel Planning 4 U with the vision of creating personalized, stress-free travel experiences that go beyond the ordinary.

As a Verified Travel Advisor (VTA) with the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) and an Accredited, Master, and Elite Cruise Counselor (ACC, MCC, ECC) with Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), I bring a wealth of industry knowledge and certifications to every client relationship. I maintain specialized training with all major cruise lines—including AmaWaterways, American Cruise Lines, Carnival, Celebrity, Cunard, Disney, Holland America, Norwegian, Princess, Regent Seven Seas, Royal Caribbean, Viking, and Virgin Voyages, —as well as with resort brands and tour operators worldwide.

At Travel Planning 4 U, my role extends beyond mere trip planning; I serve as your personal concierge. From the initial booking to addressing any queries along the way, I'm readily available to refine itineraries, provide invaluable advice, and ensure a stress-free vacation of a lifetime. With access to exclusive promotions and pricing, I strive to deliver unparalleled value and unforgettable adventures tailored to your unique preferences.

Whether you seek relaxation, adventure, or cultural immersion, allow me to be your trusted guide as we embark on an extraordinary journey crafted just for you. With a deep passion for travel, extensive industry knowledge, and a commitment to personalized service, I'm excited to bring your dream vacation to life by doing the Travel Planning 4 U.

Travel has always been in my blood. With my dad working for Delta, hopping on a plane and exploring new places was a natural part of life from an early age, sparking a passion that never left me.

After a less-than-stellar experience with a travel advisor, I realized I could do better—and that moment became the start of a new career.

What began as a love for exploring the world has grown into a full-time profession. Today, I help clients turn their travel dreams into reality, whether it’s a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

I partner with trusted suppliers to provide exclusive experiences, insider knowledge, and seamless planning. Specializing in ocean and river cruises, all-inclusive resorts, and custom land itineraries, I design trips tailored to each traveler’s style.

My mission is simple: to make travel stress-free, exciting, and unforgettable.

Hi, I’m Betty—the friend who always planned the trips.

From color-coded spreadsheets to hidden gems and must-try restaurants, I didn’t just plan vacations—I created unforgettable experiences.

For years, I helped others discover their dream getaways. One day, I realized: this wasn’t just a passion—it was my purpose.

Now retired and thriving, I’ve turned that gift into something more:

A travel advising business built for moms who need a break, couples craving connection, solo adventurers, and families writing new stories together.

I don’t just believe in wanderlust—I live it.

Let me help you design the journey of a lifetime.

Ready to plan your next adventure? Let’s make magic.

I’ve always had a passion for travel. After more than 30 years in the criminal justice field, I turned that passion into helping others plan their dream getaways.

My family’s first trip to Beaches Turks & Caicos in 2006 sparked a love for Sandals and Beaches Resorts that continues today—we’re now proud Diamond Level members. That experience inspired me to become a Certified Sandals and Beaches Specialist so I could share the same unforgettable vacations with others.

From romantic escapes to family adventures, I help couples, families, and groups find the perfect resort and room category. Having personally visited multiple Sandals and Beaches Resorts, I offer insider tips, personalized recommendations, and stress-free planning—so all you have to do is relax and enjoy paradise.

At Sandals and Beaches, it’s never just a trip—it’s an experience you’ll treasure forever.
