Vacation planning shouldn't feel like a second job.
You work hard. You deserve a vacation that actually feels like one, from the moment you start planning to the second you get home.
- Endless browser tabs, contradicting reviews, and zero clarity on what's actually worth it
- Overpaying for the wrong resort because you didn't know what questions to ask
- Arriving exhausted before the vacation even starts because planning drained you
The EKJ solution
One conversation with us replaces 40 hours of research and gets you a better trip than you would have found on your own.
At EKJ Travel & Beyond I am a full service travel advisor helping families and couples turn dream trips into effortless, memory filled adventures. You share your travel wish list, I handle the details, taking the stress out of planning so you can focus on what really matters, making memories that last long after you’re home.
I turn vacation planning from stressful to effortless for families and couples. As a mom who's traveled with my own family, I know what makes or breaks a vacation - whether it's your first cruise or a milestone anniversary trip, I create personalized experiences where everything just works. The right resort for your kids' ages, restaurants you'll actually love, and zero last-minute surprises. You get the memories; I handle the logistics, so you can actually relax and enjoy the journey, not just survive it.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
The right resort or ship for your exact vibe, not just what's popular
We do the research, the calls, the logistics; you just show up
Real support before, during & after, not a chatbot at 2am
Deep expertise in the trips most people get wrong on their own
Access to deals, amenity credits & upgrades you can't get booking alone
Former teacher of 18 years, I bring that same patience, organization, and care to every trip I plan.
Does it cost extra to use a travel advisor?
Not always. While many hotels, resorts, cruise lines, and tour operators include travel advisor compensation in their pricing, I do charge a professional research fee for custom itinerary design and vacation planning. This allows me to provide personalized recommendations, expert guidance, and dedicated support before, during, and after your trip.
Why do you charge a planning fee?
My research fee reflects the time, expertise, and personalized attention that go into creating your vacation. From researching options and designing custom itineraries to managing reservations and providing support throughout your journey, I'm dedicated to making your travel experience seamless from start to finish.
How far in advance should I reach out?
The earlier the better: especially for peak season, popular resorts, or cruises that sell out fast. That said, we've worked miracles with tight timelines too. Reach out now and let's see what we can do.
What if something goes wrong on my trip?
This is where having a real person in your corner matters most. Unlike booking through an app, you have a real human advocate — me — who will get on the phone, fight for you, and fix it. That peace of mind alone is worth everything.
Heading to Savannah? Ever wondered just how to make a wonderful tasting mojito without working your way through a mint salad? Interested in staying in haunted hotels or avoiding them? Give EKJ travel some consideration. Thoroughly enjoyed a recent trip. Filled some down time with several excellently curated experiences courtesy of EKJ travel. 5 out of 5. Would recommend.
Huge shout out to EKJ Travel & Beyond for curating such a solid list of activities for our guys trip to Savannah! We ended up doing a mojito making class in a speakeasy (10/10 vibes) and a haunted pub crawl. Everything was smooth, fun, and way easier thanks to the solid recs. Highly recommend if you want your trip to be a good time without the planning headache!
Went to Savannah on a trip with some close friends. EKJ helped us select activities to do including a mojito class and a ghost tour. The mojito class was amazing!!! The ghost tour was really good as well. I highly recommend using EKJ services!!
