Meet Your Travel Advisor

Bringing My Passion for Planning to Your Next Trip

Hello! I’m Tracy.

I’m based in Minnesota and work with travelers across the U.S. to plan Alaska vacations, ocean cruises, river cruises, and group travel.

For years, I was the person in my family handling all the details for trips, researching options, keeping track of reservations, and making sure everything came together. I remember wishing someone would just hand me a clear itinerary so I could relax and enjoy the trip too. That experience is what led me to become a travel advisor.

Before working with clients, I committed to learning the industry the right way. I’ve completed training with cruise lines, destinations, and travel suppliers, including a two-week virtual Alaska Boot Camp with Princess Cruises. I continue to build on that knowledge through ongoing training and certifications so I can better serve my clients.

I am also a Certified Autism Travel Professional (CATP), which allows me to better support travelers with autism and their families when planning travel experiences.

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a getaway with friends, a group cruise, or the Alaska trip you’ve always dreamed about, my goal is to make the planning process feel simple, organized, and enjoyable.

Everything in One Place

Your Trip at Your Fingertips

I know travelers want to feel informed and organized throughout the planning process, not disconnected from their own trip details. That’s why I provide a travel app that keeps your proposals, itineraries, confirmations, and important travel information all in one convenient place, making it easy to access everything before and during your trip.

  • Offline Access: Your itinerary stays on your phone even without internet connection.
  • Easy Navigation: Quickly access your itinerary, lodging details, activities, and important travel information.
  • Real‑Time Updates: Access itinerary updates and important trip information in one convenient place.
  • Convenience: Everything you need for your trip is organized in one place.

Everything You Need for Your Next Trip

From trip details and confirmations to personalized itineraries and updates, I help keep everything organized and easy to access throughout your vacation.

Stuck in planning mode?

Most travelers start planning online, but many end up more confused than confident.

You open a ton of tabs, read reviews until your eyes cross, compare prices, and still wonder which cruise, resort, or itinerary is the best fit for you.

Planning your trip should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I help travelers sort through the options with clear guidance and organized planning so they can feel confident about what they’re booking.

I get where you’re coming from

If you’re anything like most of my clients, you’re excited to travel, but you don’t want to spend your nights doing deep-dive research and still feel unsure. Cruises and all-inclusive vacations come with a lot of choices, and it’s hard to know what actually fits your trip goals until you’ve spent way too much time comparing. I built NextStop Travel for people who want a fun trip that feels like a great decision, not a stressful project. You stay involved, you stay informed, and you never have to wonder what’s going on with your plans.
