Aloha, I'm Cheri! As a Colorado native, my career journey has taken some interesting turns, from the fast-paced world of real estate and the skies as a Flight Attendant to my current passion: crafting incredible getaways as a Vacation Consultant with Expedia Cruises and Sol Escapes Travel. With added expertise in Hawaiian adventures, Maui holds a special place in my heart, and I love sharing its magic with others. My journey as a Flight Attendant provided me with a unique perspective on travel frustrations. I often encountered passengers whose much-anticipated vacations were derailed before they even truly began. Hearing countless stories of miscommunication and inadequate customer support from DIY travel sites – leaving travelers stranded and forced to navigate email claims while their holidays evaporated – deeply resonated with me. It sparked a desire to offer a better experience, one where travelers felt valued, supported, and knew they had a dedicated advocate. This is why my journey as a travel coordinator came to life: to ensure your escape is seamless and stress-free, with personalized support every step of the way. When I'm not busy planning personalized escapes, you'll find me enjoying life in Colorado or Maui with my amazing husband, John. My downtime is filled with catching up with our 4 children (two each), snapping photos, soaking up live music – especially cheering on my husband's bands, loving on my lime green Jeep, and hanging out with our fur babies (a dog and 2 cats) and any other animal I may find (anything but spiders and scorpions!) I'd love to meet you and chat about your travel dreams! Let’s plan an escape you'll never forget!
