Meet Marsha

Hi, I’m Marsha!

I’m a Texas-based travel advisor who helps couples and families plan all-inclusive resorts, cruises, river cruises, and European vacations that feel effortless and exactly right for you—so you can slow down, reconnect, and really enjoy your time away.

I grew up in a small town in Alabama, and even as a child I dreamed of seeing the world. Some of my favorite family vacation memories are the beach trips we took every summer and our visits to Disney World. My husband and I have been married for over 20 years, and we now live in Texas with our two dogs, Scout and Maggie—but we still make it back to Alabama and Florida often to visit family.

We’re always planning our next adventure—from all-inclusive resorts to cruises to unforgettable trips through Europe. And yes, we still love Disney and Universal too, because you’re never too old to enjoy the magic! 

I know from experience that with busy lives and limited time off, vacations need to feel special. I also know how overwhelming planning can be when you’re short on time or just not sure where to start. That’s where I come in. With expert planning, trusted industry connections, and a whole lot of heart, I’ll help you create a trip that feels effortless, personalized, and exactly right for you.

Whether it’s a multi-destination trip through Europe, a butler suite at Sandals, or an Alaskan cruise, I pour my heart into every itinerary because I know how important these trips are. Life is short—and I believe travel is one of the most joyful, meaningful ways to live it.

My Favorite Trip

One of my favorite trips was our 20th anniversary two-week cruise through Greece on Virgin Voyages’ Resilient Lady. We explored beautiful ports like Santorini, Mykonos, and Dubrovnik, and ended with a few amazing days in Athens. While we checked off bucket list destinations, that trip was absolutely incredible and showed us which places we’d love to go back to for a longer stay.

My Dream Vacation

These days, my dream vacation is a small-yacht cruise along the islands of Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast!

"Hi Marsha! It was an unbelievable trip! We all had a wonderful time. The Moana show on the Treasure was every bit as magical as people have said online - definitely Broadway level talent! The Bingo, parties and movies on the main deck, food, and drinks were excellent, but the people working on the ship are what makes Disney exceptional, in my opinion. Everyone on that boat went out of their way to make our trip worthwhile, and we made many new friends (particularly our dining staff) that we will forever hold dear in our hearts. Thank you for all of your help in planning our perfect family vacation!"

"Thank you to Marsha for our recent trip to Orlando, Disney World and Universal Studios! We had the most epic adult vacation for our anniversary trip! We had last minute to plan and Marsha really came through with a romantic getaway and resort accommodations with express and lightning passes to skip the long lines and all the advice and tips you can only get from an experienced planner. She made it super easy on us with less hassle of choosing and we were so happy. She really hit it on the mark!🫶🏻💕"
