The name Adjournia means, “to be on a beautiful journey” and I must admit, I have truly lived up to its meaning.
My love for travel started when I was a little girl. Road trips with my family during the summer are some of the fondest memories of my childhood. That love for travel continued into my adult life and it has allowed me to visit some of the most beautiful, sought after places on earth. I’ve had the joy of traveling to parts of Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, with countless cruises under my belt.
I specialize in Cruise and Caribbean Vacations (individual and group bookings). I’ve had the pleasure of traveling on multiple cruise lines and visiting numerous destinations on multiple occasions including Mexico and Jamaica. This allows me to be able to share my vast experience and leverage established relationships for the benefit of my clients.
My love for travel has evolved into a passion to help others discover the beautiful world around us. What are you waiting for? Let's plan your next trip!

Wanderlust-a strong desire for or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world.
Wanderlust describes me; an enthusiast, an avid traveler with a strong desire to travel and explore the world and the beauty it has to offer. What intrigues me most about travel is culture.

I attribute my passion for travel to my previous job as a ticket lift agent for American Airlines at Chicago's O'Hare airport. It was there that I was introduced to the world of travel, and I knew then that it was something I wanted to pursue. Since then, I have had the privilege of traveling to many destinations, such as Ecuador, Costa Rica, Italy, France, Scotland, Japan, Hawaii, Mexico, and numerous Caribbean islands. My love for travel has only grown stronger with each new adventure, and I'm constantly seeking out new and exciting places to explore.
As a bilingual travel specialist fluent in Spanish, I understand the importance of being able to communicate effectively with locals in foreign countries. This skill has allowed me to immerse myself in different cultures and gain a deeper appreciation for the unique experiences each destination has to offer. Additionally, I am a certified cruise specialist and Walt Disney vacation expert, which has allowed me to specialize in those areas and provide my clients with exceptional service and advice.
Of all the places I've traveled, Italy and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic are my favorite vacation spots. Italy's rich history, art, and cuisine are simply unparalleled, and the laid-back atmosphere and stunning beaches of Punta Cana make it the perfect place to unwind and relax.
When I'm not traveling or helping my clients plan their dream vacations, I like to participate in autocross races. This hobby allows me to let loose and have fun while also satisfying my need for adventure and excitement.

“Jobs fill your pocket, Adventures fill your soul.”
Jaime Lyn Beatty
Growing up, one of my favorite subjects as a child was Social Studies. It was always fascinating to learn about different, cultures, history, architecture, geography, and daily living. So, I started creating a travel bucket list, which has changed dramatically over the years.
Through travel, we learn to embrace and celebrate both our similarities and differences by encountering different cultures and ancient traditions. Our travels teach us about humanity and give us an appreciation for, understanding, and respect for different cultures and ways of life. Other reasons to travel include:
• Travel for personal growth
• Travel to relax
• Travel to escape the pressures of daily life.
• Travel to make the world a better place
• Travel to fulfill your bucket list
• Travel to be transformed
• Travel to eat
• Travel to explore
• Travel to learn
As much as I love traveling with family and friends, there is nothing more exhilarating and challenging than solo travel!
As a registered nurse, travel has become an integral part of my self-care regimen. I love a good beach vacation! I have traveled to the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Barbados, and cruised the Caribbean.
If the pandemic has taught anything, it’s that life is short. Time is precious and so are the people we love.
I look forward to assisting you in creating new, meaningful, and lasting memories with your loved ones. Let’s explore the world together!!
