Vacation Planning Help for First Time & DIY Travelers

Whether you’re planning your very first adventure or you’re a seasoned DIY traveler, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by endless options and hidden pitfalls. I’ve seen first-time travelers book “dream” hotels that turned into nightmares, and even the most independent explorers get tripped up by tricky layovers or unreliable info online. That’s why I created Life, Love & Travel—to help both first-timers and DIY adventurers skip the rookie mistakes and travel with total confidence.

You’ll get a custom itinerary that feels effortless, personal, and totally you.

Avoid common travel mistakes

Travel planning can feel like a second job — hours of Googling, endless tabs, and constant second-guessing. I’ve been there. The difference? I’ve already done the trial runs, tested the hacks, and uncovered the hidden gems so you don’t waste your time.

When you work with me, you’re not getting cookie-cutter advice — you’re getting honest, personal guidance that fits your style. I’ll help you dodge tourist traps; spend your money where it actually counts and you avoid these common travel mistakes:

  • Not leaving enough layover time for customs (especially at ATL without Global Entry)

  • Skipping transfers or excursions with trusted vendors
  • Missing out on cultural immersion or volunteer opportunities

Planning a group trip can be tricky, but Bee made it so easy! She took care of the logistics for our entire group of eight, from transportation to coordinating a surprise birthday cake delivery at our hotel. The cultural immersion experiences in Jamaica were incredible, and we felt like locals. I can’t recommend her enough.

- Mark & Friends

My solo trip to the Dominican Republic was everything I dreamed of, thanks to Bee. She arranged local guides who took me to places I would’ve never found on my own. The FAQs Bee provided helped me navigate the cultural differences with ease, and she even surprised me with a private dinner on the beach. It was pure bliss.

– Rachel S.

Our family’s voluntourism trip to Costa Rica was a life-changing experience. Bee found the perfect balance between adventure and giving back. We helped with wildlife conservation in the mornings and enjoyed afternoons exploring the rainforests. Everything was so well-organized, and the surprise scavenger hunt for the kids was the cherry on top.

— The Williams Family

Bee planned the most amazing honeymoon for us in Hawaii! From the private beach picnic to the surprise cake waiting for us at our hotel, she went above and beyond to make it magical.
