Hi, I'm April — luxury travel advisor and founder of The Vacay Way. I specialize in the trips that matter most: honeymoons, anniversaries, and milestone getaways for couples who want the experience to actually match the moment. In under 15 months, I planned over 200 romantic trips and crossed almost $1 million in sales — not because I had some big marketing budget, but because couples kept coming back and sending their friends. That kind of trust doesn't happen by accident. It happens when someone actually does the work. What I do is personal. I'm not handing you off to a portal or a checklist. I learn what you want, I build something around it, and I stay in it with you from the first conversation to the moment you get home. I know these destinations because I've been in them. I know the properties because I've stayed in them. And I know the difference between a resort that photographs well and one that actually delivers. If you've been putting off that trip because planning it feels like too much — that's exactly why I'm here.
I didn't get into travel because I love spreadsheets. I got into it because I saw how quickly excitement turns into overwhelm — and I knew I could fix that.

I believe the best travel experiences balance beauty, ease, and intention. I’m drawn to places that feel relaxed but refined, experiences that don’t feel rushed, and itineraries that leave room to actually enjoy being there. That perspective shapes how I plan every trip, from pacing to property selection to the small details that make it feel personal.

How I Work
I take a limited, high-touch approach to travel planning so every trip gets the attention it deserves. That means you're not one of fifty clients on a list — you're one of a few, and I know your trip. Honest recommendations over crowd-pleasers. Thoughtful pacing over packed itineraries. And clear communication at every step so you always know what's happening and what's next.
What sets my approach apart.
I didn’t start planning travel because I loved spreadsheets or comparing options. I started because I saw how overwhelming it had become for people who just wanted to enjoy something meaningful. Too many choices, conflicting advice, and the pressure of getting it “right” can take the joy out of the experience before it even begins. My goal is to make travel feel calm, clear, and well-supported. I guide the process, manage the details, and help couples make thoughtful decisions so they can focus on enjoying the experience instead of managing it.
Why thoughtful planning matters to me and the reason behind the way I work.

Too many couples spend months planning the most romantic trip of their lives and arrive exhausted. The research, the tabs, the conflicting reviews, the pressure of getting it right — it takes the joy out before the trip even begins. My job is to take that off your plate entirely. You bring the excitement. I'll handle the rest.
