Travel Planning
Rooted in Care
Bloom & Co. Travel Booking was created to bring clarity, calm, and confidence to the travel planning process. We work with travelers wherever they’re based, offering thoughtful guidance for trips around the world.
While our roots are in the Texas Hill Country and greater Austin area, our approach is simple: turn travel ideas into well-organized, supported vacations without the overwhelm.
We believe planning should feel just as relaxing as the trip itself, and we guide you through every step with care, simplicity, and a human touch.

Our Approach to Travel Planning

We start by listening. Every traveler has a unique pace, comfort level, and vision for their ideal getaway. We learn what matters most to you, including your preferences, travel style, and the type of experience you want, and then curate options that fit effortlessly.
From choosing a cruise line or resort to coordinating flights, transfers, activities, and timing, we simplify the details and provide clear recommendations you can trust. Throughout the process, you can expect honest guidance, organized communication, and a planning experience designed to feel calm and supportive.
Our goal is simple: make sure you feel fully prepared, well taken care of, and excited long before you leave home.
The Story Behind Bloom & Co. Travel Planning
The name Bloom & Co. reflects what we believe travel can do for people.
To bloom is to grow, to step beyond what’s familiar, experience new perspectives, and engage more deeply with the world around us. Travel invites us out of our comfort zones and into moments of discovery, connection, and reflection. Through new cultures, landscapes, and shared experiences, we often come home changed in subtle but meaningful ways.
At Bloom & Co. Travel Booking, we see travel as more than a destination or an itinerary. It’s an opportunity for personal growth, expanded understanding, and a more open, compassionate view of the world. Our role is to support that journey with care, clarity, and thoughtful planning so you’re free to focus on the experience itself.

I bring years of experience delivering white-glove support, thoughtful communication, and consistent follow-up for clients who value clarity and care. My background centers on guiding people through complex decisions and making sure every detail is handled with confidence—an approach I carry into every aspect of travel advising.
Known for a warm, steady style and an ability to simplify overwhelming choices, I founded Bloom & Co. Travel Booking to help travelers feel supported from their very first question to the moment they return home.
Personally, I’m drawn to trips that leave room for unplanned moments, such as wandering through neighborhoods, sharing meals, and engaging with local culture through genuine curiosity and connection.
