Solo TravelerTwo amazing trips to Australia
As a senior solo traveler, working with Dawn was an absolute game-changer. She has designed two amazing trips to Australia for me and took all the stress and uncertainty out of planning. Both turned into the most enjoyable travel experiences I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, Dawn listened carefully to what I wanted and crafted detailed, personalized itineraries that allowed me to simply relax and enjoy the journey. All I had to do was follow the itinerary! Her attention to detail is incredible. Every day was planned out in a way that balanced sightseeing, relaxation, and unique experiences, all tailored to my interests. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed—just perfectly guided. Whether it was the timing of transfers, the smooth check-ins at hotels, or the thoughtful suggestions for tours and dining, everything flowed seamlessly. What gave me the most peace of mind as a solo traveler was knowing I had Dawn’s support behind the scenes. She anticipated my needs before I even thought of them and was always quick to respond if I had questions, even when I was out of the country. It felt like having a trusted friend looking out for me every step of the way. Beyond her expertise and professionalism, Dawn’s passion for creating memorable travel experiences shines through in everything she does. She genuinely cares, and that personal touch turned my trip into something truly special. I cannot recommend Dawn enough. If you want a travel agent who is not only highly skilled and organized but also thoughtful, kind, and dedicated to making your trip unforgettable, Dawn is the one. I can personally guarantee that 100%!

DeLora WalkerExpert Advice - Australia and New Zealand
Dawn always goes above and beyond to provide excellent service with her vast knowledge. I relied on her expertise to provide many once in a lifetime experiences for my clients in Australia and New Zealand.
Jenn HillThe Best Travel Agent EVER!
Dawn is one of the most knowledgable, personable, seasoned and detail oriented travel agent I've had the pleasure to work with. She has handled both my national and international travel for years, both personally and professionally. I've become so spoiled by her knowledge and experience, I find it very hard to book anything without her help! She is fantastic, dependable, and so nice to work with. Five stars! Won't find anyone better.
Barbara MAn extraordinary travel planner
I am a travel agent partner who has worked with Dawn many times. Each itinerary was unique and intricate. Dawn is a one in a million travel partner. She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and patient. She puts her all into travel planning. She is an excellent listener, enabling the agent and the clients to be completely confident in putting their trip in Dawn's capable hands. She leaves no stone unturned. My most challenging and discriminating clients were always wowed by her talent in planning travel. And Dawn was always willing to spend time conferencing with me and clients in order to really understand their wishes. Call Dawn for sure!

Anna JamesBest in the West
Dawn offered my family the integral help and assistance anyone would want when a planned vacation goes awry. As we were in Kaanalpali when the Maui fires happened in August of 2023, and we needed to evacuate the island. I called Dawn in a frenzy. She was quickly able to make on the spot adjustments for us, source new flights and alternate hotel availability, and gave us more reassurance than even a mother could offer. Because of her excellent response and service, my family and I were able to feel relaxed and supported during such an emergent and unsure time. We left the island quickly and easily without having to sit on phones while wasting our precious battery power, wait in long lines for assistance, or feel anxious in any way. Dawn was our superhero on this unforgettable and unfortunate vacation which was cut short due to the tragedy of the Lahaina fire. If you want to feel fully supported at any time of your travel, Dawn, hands down, is the agent you want at your side.
KateEasiest Beach Planning Experience for Best Time!
Dawn was great! She made planning our trip so easy. She helped to find a resort that accommodated our group of 7, appeased our ocean view suite wants, and included all inclusive while staying within our budget. She was helpful in figuring out transportation to & from the airport for a group leaving at various times.
LBOur Dream Honeymoon
We spent 8 days on the north island of New Zealand and 6 days in Fiji, and it couldn't have gone more smoothly or have been a better trip, thanks to Dawn. I have never used a travel agent prior but did not want to plan such a huge trip after our wedding, and I am so glad we did. We loved every single activity Dawn suggested and organized, and she took a lot of stress away. It was so hard to narrow down what to do in New Zealand in a short amount of time, so Dawn was really helpful in coming up with an itinerary that met all of our wishes without us exhausting ourselves. I highly recommend working with Dawn!
hoffelhouseChristmas Market Cruise
Dawn was very helpful in planning the pre and post cruise itenerary. Also, with coordination with the cruise line. She took care of transfers, hotels, and excursions (finding, allowing us to choose, and booking). We were a large group with some strong personalities and opinions, but Dawn was able to keep everyone happy. I had an issue that will require me to submit a claim to travel insurance, and Dawn has already initiated the process for me!

JeremyAndEvaVery special 30th anniversary vacation!
Dawn took all the hard work and stress out of making our 30th anniversary vacation, our first to Australia, an unforgettable experience. She took our feedback to plan the perfect trip so all we had to do was follow the itinerary and enjoy ourselves. She was immediately available when we needed her during the trip to help with last minute changes. Will definitely get Dawn's help to plan our next vacation and have already recommend her to others.
mariarwShe unravelled the mystery of my trip.
Dawn was wonderful. I was very intimidated about all the details of what felt like a complicated trip, but Dawn simplified it, while still giving me many options. She was sweet, friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
Kiwi fanFABULOUS FIRST TRIP TO NEW ZEALAND
Dawn was outstanding to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to visit New Zealand. She quickly responded when I first reached out to her, noting the importance of planning well in advance. She communicated clearly during countless e-mails, and provided so much insider'smknowledge, due to her prior travel and work experience with companies in New Zealand. She drew up a detailed itinerary with excellent lodging and guided tour options. She showed infinite patience and grace in coordinating with my needs for a 2 part month-long trip that involved a different family member for each half. Her detailed itinerary allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves with very little to figure out after arrival in this spectacularly beautiful country. She also provided invaluable advice once back in the US, when I had to make a claim for a delayed bag. I am so happy that I chose Dawn and encourage any traveler to contact her for their needs to fly down under!
