AMBER FREEMAN
Growing up traveling to small beaches is where my heart found a love for traveling! I work full time in professional development and homeschool our son, which brings attention to detail when it comes to planning. I love researching the perfect location for my clients who eventually become family friends. I specialize in allergy friendly locations and also, any special need that needs to be accommodated. Some of my favorite places to visit is Key West, Orlando and bring on the Caribbean! I look forward to helping you take the perfect vacation!
LAUREN TURNER
I am a wife and mother of two little ones who believes in creating a life that you love and living it to the fullest. Travel not to escape life but to rejuvenate. There is nothing that rejuvenates the soul more than taking a break from the daily humdrum and exploring a different terrain, tasting a different cuisine, learning about and appreciating a different custom, or just being pampered for a while. I look forward to going on adventures anywhere and everywhere. Want to travel in leisure? I am here to serve you with everything you need. Let’s travel the world!!
ALICIA PUGH
As a wife + mom to a busy family, I know how hard it is to get uninterrupted time with your family! As a travel planner, I love to help families ‘press pause’ on their busy, daily lives and soak in memories with each other. Watching my kid’ s face light up when they visit a new place is one of my great joys – and now I love bringing that experience to other families.
KRISTIE GOLDEN
Kristie is a gymnastics mom, teacher wife, pharmacist, and lover of all things travel. She was inspired to travel more and not let the moments pass her family by in 2015 when her husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. The experience of an unexpected diagnosis made her family realize just how quickly life could change. After surgery and 12 rounds of chemotherapy her husband was cancer free. With her husband and kindergarten daughter by her side, they decided they needed memories much more than things. They went to Walt Disney World to celebrate daddy being cancer free and haven’t stopped since. Her family loves disney, cruises, and all inclusives. They have an ongoing travel bucket list and her daughter’s ultimate goal is Australia-a big dream for a tweenager!
Kristie likes to research and help you be prepared for your vacation. She always told her travel agent she should be her assistant. In May of 2015, her agent said hey come join me, so she did. Krisite is constantly researching new destinations and doing trainings to learn all that she can. She can help you make the plans that make the memories. She believes that memories are the greatest gifts and memories are better than stuff. She is not wasting her Golden years, when she is not behind the pharmacy counter taking care of patients she is busy traveling. As a busy mom herself she understands the need to be ready to travel but leave all your worries behind.Let her help you not miss the moments and make the best of your golden years too.
SEAN GOLDEN
Sean is a father to a very busy teenage daughter, a husband, and a teacher who loves to travel. After undergoing surgery and treatment for cancer, Sean and his family decided that they would like to travel and make memories, rather than buying physical things. Since then, they have traveled and cruised to many beautiful places. There is nothing like experiencing these places while making memories with the family. He would love to help your family plan and create memories of your own.
SPENCER IVY
I believe that inclusivity is always of utmost importance, and travel is certainly no exception. Travel should be accessible to ALL people. Still new as an agent, I bring over 12 years in the hotel industry to my planning. I am passionate about having the best experiences for my travels, and strive to provide that same level of excellence to my clients when booking their vacations. While I enjoy all types of travel, on most vacations you will find me doing Disney related activities. No matter the destination, I look forward to helping my clients book their trip of a lifetime (over, and over again).

KATHY & MIKE BIGGS
Hi fellow travelers! We are Mike and Kathy Biggs, married “tag team” travel advisors. I’ve been planning wonderful vacations for my clients for 6 years, and Mike has just joined me on our travel planning adventures. Did we tell you we LOVE what we do?
We’ve met so many wonderful people across the United States and other countries, and it never gets old helping families and couples plan magical vacations and taking some of the pressure off so they can enjoy the journey without the stress. I am originally from England but have lived in the US for most of my life, so when you meet me you get a combination of Tennessee twang with a twist of “proper” English. Mike just retired from teaching and was in the US Navy with most of his time spent in Bermuda as a weatherman.
Between us, we have 5 children and 3 adorable grand-babies, with whom we travel frequently. Of course, that makes Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line as well as Universal Orlando some of our top destinations to book! Mike loves cruising is a pro at finding the best cruise for you and your family!
We love ocean cruising, river cruising, guided and self-guided tours, and all-inclusives. I truly love Ireland and England—the villages, beautiful scenery, and friendly people are the best, although I have to admit I am partial. Mike and I love to take road trips and visit quirky roadside attractions, so if you have ever wanted to travel the US and see Roadside America, we are here to plan it for you!
We will treat your vacation as we do our own—with thoughtful consideration of your needs and wishes. Remember, travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer!

GAYANE GAVIN
Hi My name is Gayane Gavin (guy-an- eh) I live in Michigan with my husband and our 3 kids.
Last year my best friend passionately asked me (she’s Italian) to turn my love for traveling into a career. My husband was quick to support and encourage me to pursue this path. So I did.
Traveling for the past 21 years with my husband Jim has been an amazing journey. I consider myself fortunate to have traveled different countries and learned about their cultures, traditions, and experienced unique adventures. Not to mention the glory of trying new foods on those travels (grilled stingrays was not something I ever intended to eat and enjoy so much).
We also have taken our kids on numerous trips and vacations with us, Disney World and Royal Caribbean Cruises in particular, are their favorites. The educational value travel has brought to our kids has been truly rewarding.
Europe has been a frequent destination for us, especially Portugal’s Azores Islands. It holds a special place in our travel memories, 7 out of 9 islands explored since 2018. Nature, hiking, and ocean views bring me peace and joy.
Leveraging my knowledge and experience in international travel, cruises, couples and family travel planning – I’m excited to be part of your vacation planning process and assist you with your travels/getaways. Being a seasoned traveler allows me to add a personal touch and a unique approach into your own travel experience.
The best reward – would be hearing that you had such a fantastic vacation that you’re practically bursting with excitement to have me plan another trip for you
Leaving you with the wise words of Jackie Chan, “Travel – your money will return, your time won’t.”
