Working with
Alpas Travel, LLC

Dreaming of a romantic cruise through Europe? A sun-soaked escape aboard the Brilliant Lady? A custom culinary adventure through Japan? I'm here to turn those dreams into reality.

Here's the thing: travel should feel exciting, not overwhelming. That's where I come in. I guide you through every step of the planning process with clarity and care, offering expert insights, personalized options, and support you can count on from start to finish.

My Approach

I start by getting to know you. Your travel style, your preferences, what makes a trip feel like your trip. Then I craft an itinerary that brings your vision to life, working with trusted cruise lines, tour operators, and global partners to deliver exceptional experiences tailored specifically to you.

Experience You Can Trust

I'm a Certified Cruise Counselor (CCC) through CLIA and run an LGBTQ-owned business that combines professional expertise with real-world travel experience. I've explored six continents—solo, in groups, on cruises, and leading adventures for family and friends. This breadth of experience means I understand what works (and what doesn't) for different types of travelers.

Solo explorer? Romantic couple? Group celebration? I've got you covered. At Alpas Travel, LLC, it's not just about where you go. It's about the freedom to explore, the memories you'll make, and the experiences waiting to unfold.

Investment in Your Journey

Travel planning isn't just about booking flights and hotels—it's about creating seamless experiences, avoiding costly mistakes, and having expert support from planning through your return home. When you work with Alpas Travel, LLC, you're investing in peace of mind, personalized service, and the kind of insider access that DIY planning simply can't provide.
