✈️ A Little About Me & What I Do
For those new to Vacations by Celeste, here’s a quick look at what I offer:
✨ Luxury & Custom Travel Planning
From dream vacations in Thailand to curated city escapes in Singapore to luxury getaways in Dubai, I create personalized itineraries that fit your travel style, wishlist, timeline, and budget.
✨ Cruise Planning & Group Travel
Cruises are one of my favorite ways to explore — especially MSC Yacht Club. I also love helping couples plan destination weddings at sea, family cruises, and European itineraries.
✨ Travel Content Creation
On TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube, I share hotel walkthroughs, food recommendations, excursion reviews, and real experiences from the places I visit. Through TikTok’s Creator Rewards, TikTokGo, and brand partnerships, I also get to turn my love of travel into content that helps others.
✨ Real Travel, Real Experiences
I don’t just plan travel — I live it. Every destination I visit, every hotel I tour, and every excursion I try becomes part of the knowledge I use to help my clients travel better, smarter, and with more intention.

January Reflections: Ending the Year on a High Note & Looking Ahead
As we step into January, I find myself reflecting on a year that exceeded every expectation—both personally and professionally. This past year truly ended on a high note, filled with meaningful travel experiences, incredible clients, and milestones that remind me why I love what I do.
A Year of Exploration
In 2025, I explored 13 countries outside of the United States, with Greenland standing out as an unforgettable highlight. Visiting in August allowed me to truly absorb the culture, connect with the people, and witness the breathtaking scale of the icebergs up close. Seeing nature in such a raw and powerful form was humbling and awe-inspiring—one of those experiences that stays with you forever.
Closer to home, the United States offered no shortage of magic. From schooner rides along the coast of Maine, to a private tour of Radio City Music Hall in New York City—complete with meeting the iconic Rockettes—every destination brought its own story. I soaked in the energy of Nashville, enjoyed food tours through Richmond, Virginia, wandered Washington, DC at sunset, and, of course, indulged in unforgettable meals at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Sometimes, the most memorable adventures are right in our own backyard.
Planning Dreams for Clients
One of the greatest joys of my year was welcoming new clients and designing curated travel experiences tailored just for them. I had the honor of planning incredible journeys to Iceland, Singapore, and Thailand, while also sending returning clients off to Istanbul, Greece, and Paris.
And that doesn’t even begin to cover the multitude of cruises I booked—ranging from destination weddings and honeymoons, to bachelorette trips, family vacations, and everything in between. Cruises continue to be an amazing way to celebrate life’s biggest moments, and I’m grateful to be trusted with them.
A Record-Breaking Year
2025 was officially a record-breaking year for my business. On top of travel planning, I also became a paid travel content creator on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook—a goal I worked toward for a long time. Sharing destinations, experiences, and travel tips while inspiring others to explore the world has been incredibly rewarding.
Thank You
To my clients: thank you. Thank you for trusting me with your vacations, your celebrations, and your once-in-a-lifetime trips. You truly make my dreams possible, and I never take that trust lightly.
Looking Ahead: January Focus in the Travel World
As we move into January, this is one of the most important planning seasons in travel. Now is the time to:
- Plan 2025–2026 vacations
- Lock in cruises, destination weddings, and group travel
- Take advantage of early booking promotions
- Start dreaming about bucket-list destinations
The best trips aren’t last-minute—they’re thoughtfully planned.
2026 is only getting better, and I can’t wait to help you bring your travel dreams to life. If this is the year you finally say “yes” to that trip, I’m ready when you are.
Here’s to new adventures, new memories, and another incredible year ahead. ✨
