Dallas, Texas · Fora Pro Travel Advisor
I'm Erica — a travel-obsessed advisor who has been dreaming up itineraries since my first cruise at age nine. Let me turn your wanderlust into an unforgettable escape, with all the perks and none of the stress.
My Story
I've been a travel enthusiast for as long as I can remember — it all started with my first cruise at nine years old. Since then I've traveled all over, and my passion for planning has only grown.
I love being a travel advisor because it combines two things I genuinely adore: exploring the world and helping others create unforgettable memories. Uncovering hidden gems is one of the most satisfying parts of the job.
My ideal vacation? You'll find me anywhere the sand is warm and the water is blue—with a book in one hand and a drink in the other.
🏆 Fora Pro Advisor · Trusted & VerifiedWhat I Do Best
My happiest clients aren't bargain hunters. They want a trip built around them. I focus on getting the most out of your investment: better rooms, exclusive perks, and experiences that stay with you long after you're home.
Unpack once and let the rest take care of itself. I'll match you with the right resort — every meal, drink, and excursion covered — plus exclusive perks you can't get booking direct.
Trips the whole family will actually love. From cruise ships with kids' clubs to beach resorts, I specialize in stress-free family travel where everyone goes home happy.
Honeymoons, anniversaries, or just because. I curate escapes with the right mix of luxury and intimacy — including those little surprises that make a trip feel truly special.

Working with a travel advisor is easier than you think — and completely free for most trips.
Share your destination ideas, travel dates, group size, budget, and anything that matters most to you. No idea is too vague — I love helping people figure it out.
I research, compare, and book the best options for your trip — hotels, transfers, excursions, and more — while unlocking perks you can't get booking on your own.
Arrive with everything sorted and me in your corner if anything comes up. I'm your point of contact before, during, and after your trip.
What Clients Say
Don't just take my word for it — here's what travelers say after booking with me.
★★★★★ Rated 5.0 on Fora
"We've booked two all-inclusives through Erica and each one has been better than the last. She knows which resorts actually deliver and steers you away from the ones that don't. We'll never book a trip without her."
"Erica did an incredible job planning our family cruise from start to finish. She handled every detail with care and made the entire process stress-free. We had an amazing time creating memories together."
"Erica planned our anniversary trip to Sandals and it was more than we could have hoped for. She thought of details we never would have — room location, welcome amenities, excursion timing. Felt like having a personal concierge."
"Erica truly made all of our planning so much more enjoyable. Making every decision easier and more streamlined from the beginning — I'll definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help planning."
Preferred Suppliers & Partners
Good to Know
Yes — for premium economy and higher cabin classes. If you're looking to fly up front, I can help with that as part of your overall trip.
For most hotel bookings, my services are completely free. I earn a commission from the hotel or supplier — at no extra cost to you. For more complex custom itineraries, a planning fee may apply, and I'll always be upfront about that before we get started.
I specialize in all-inclusive resorts, family vacations, couples getaways, cruises, and domestic travel — especially destinations like Mexico, the Caribbean, and the USA. If you're not sure whether your trip fits, just ask. I'm happy to help figure it out.
The earlier the better, especially for peak travel seasons, holiday travel, or popular destinations that book up fast. That said, I can often pull together last-minute trips too — don't hesitate to reach out even if your dates are close.
Yes! You pay with your own credit card and earn your rewards as usual. On top of that, booking through me often adds perks like resort credits, room upgrades, and free breakfast — value you can't stack when booking direct.
That's exactly when having an advisor makes the biggest difference. I'm your advocate — not a call center. If anything comes up before, during, or after your trip, I'm here to help sort it out quickly.
I book through Fora Travel — a modern travel agency that gives advisors like me access to exclusive hotel perks, room upgrades, and preferred partner rates you simply can't get booking direct. It's how I'm able to add real value beyond just finding you a great trip.
It starts with a short intake form so I can capture the basics — who's traveling, when, and what you have in mind. From there we'll hop on a quick discovery call to dig into the details: travel style, budget, must-haves, and dealbreakers. I'll take that and build a tailored proposal for your review. Once you're happy with the plan, I handle all the bookings and VIP arrangements. As your trip gets closer, I'll follow up with add-ons like tours, restaurant recommendations, and anything else that'll make the experience feel effortless. Then you just pack your bags.
A lot of advisors can book a trip. What I focus on is making sure the right trip gets matched to the right family. Before I recommend anything, I learn how you actually travel — your pace, your priorities, what's worked before and what hasn't. From there, my preferred partnerships unlock perks that most people can't get on their own: complimentary breakfast, resort credits, room upgrades, and more. I also stay involved from first conversation through checkout, so you're never left managing logistics on your own.
