Meet Your Travel Expert
As a travel advisor and Sales Manager with 417 Travel, I believe the best travel advice comes from a combination of professional training and firsthand experience. I continually invest in destination education, cruise line training, and industry certifications to stay knowledgeable about the ever-changing world of travel. I’ve been fortunate to explore incredible destinations, from the breathtaking glaciers of Alaska to the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean and the rich culture of Spain. These personal experiences allow me to share genuine insights, trusted recommendations, and those special details that can turn a great vacation into an unforgettable one.
As part of 417 Travel and the prestigious Signature Travel Network, I have access to an incredible network of travel partners, exclusive benefits, valuable amenities, and resources that can enhance my clients’ vacations. But what truly sets my approach apart is my commitment to personal service. I believe booking your vacation is just the beginning of our relationship. From our first conversation to the moment you return home, I focus on communication, attention to detail, and consistent follow-up so you feel informed, confident, and cared for every step of the way. My goal isn’t simply to plan one amazing vacation—it’s to become your trusted travel advisor for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started, and is my vacation quote free?
417 Travel offers free vacation quotes. Start by completing our website inquiry form, calling 417-633-7890, or visiting our Springfield office. Share your travel dates, number of travelers, approximate budget, and any destinations you are considering. You do not need to have every detail decided before reaching out.
What types of vacations do you plan?
Call, Email, text me or fill out a quote request. I would love to help.
Why book with 417 Travel instead of booking everything online?
Working with 417 Travel gives you a team to help compare options, coordinate details, and answer questions before, during, and after your trip. Our advisors combine firsthand travel experience with an understanding of your preferences. We help you look beyond the advertised price to consider the itinerary, accommodations, inclusions, and overall experience.
Do you help plan luxury vacations and bucket-list trips?
Yes. We help plan luxury cruises, African safaris, European vacations, and other special journeys. We start by understanding what would make the trip meaningful to you—whether that is a particular destination, exceptional accommodations, a more personal experience, or celebrating a milestone. Your preferences guide the recommendation, rather than a luxury label alone.
Can you help me choose the right river cruise?
Yes. We help you compare river cruise brands, itineraries, ships, cabins, excursions, and what is included in the price. Members of our team have personally sailed with our leading river cruise partners. We use that experience to help you choose a cruise that fits your interests, preferred activity level, and budget.
Do you plan Alaska cruises and cruise-and-land vacations?
Yes. 417 Travel helps plan both Alaska cruises and vacations that combine a cruise with a land tour. We can help you compare routes, cruise lines, accommodations, and land extensions. Your advisor will help you decide which approach makes sense for the places you want to experience and the time you have available.
Can 417 Travel help me plan a personalized vacation to Europe?
Yes. We help clients explore Europe through personalized land itineraries, guided tours, river cruises, and Mediterranean cruises. Our team’s firsthand travels include Portugal, France, Greece, and Finland. We can help you compare different ways to travel and build a vacation around your interests, whether that means food, history, scenery, or time to explore.

Thanks to Amity at 417 Travel we had the best time in Alaska! We had never traveled by air and survived the airports! The Royal Princess was amazing. We were treated with respect and kindness during the whole trip. Plenty of activities to do during the day and night. Once again thanks Amity and 417 Travel!

Amity was fun to work with and did an amazing job coordinating travel to the Dominican Republic for my work family! We loved Secrets Royal Beach, Punta Cana. Amity even came to our office to provide travel/resort tips for all of us prior to our departure. We would definitely work with Amity and 417 Travel again.

Wow! What a vacation! Amity did a fantastic job of covering our trip details. Travis and Michelle knocked the extras out of the park! If you want agents that will work to make it your best vacation experience this is the group to check out! Thanks again for hosting a wonderful group trip of strangers that felt like long-time friends by the end of the trip!

We used Amity at 417 to plan our wedding at Cancun. To say everything was wonderful is an understatement. From the very beginning Amity led us through the process so smoothly
We heard nothing but the best from our guest that used Amity to book their trip. She was with us and guided us through the whole process. We will definitely be using 417 Travel and Amity again. 5 STARS for sure!!!
