You've worked hard to reach this chapter of life. Whether your calendar is still packed or you've finally traded deadlines for departure gates, your travel should feel effortless, personal, and worth every moment.
At Explore With Monica, I help you skip the stress and savor the experience—by matching you with the right trip, the right itinerary, and the right travel style for you.
Welcome!
I'm Monica, and I turn travel dreams into beautifully lived journeys!
Start Planning Your Story
You've spent hours researching hotels only to book something that looked nothing like the photos. You've endured cruise ships packed with screaming kids when you wanted sophisticated relaxation. You've followed tour groups through overcrowded attractions, wondering why you're paying premium prices for a discount experience.
Those days are over.
Whether you're planning that long-overdue reconnection trip, coordinating a getaway with friends who share your taste, or finally taking that solo adventure you've been putting off—your travel deserves better. You want experiences that feel meaningful, not just Instagram-worthy. You'd rather spend your time soaking in spectacular scenery than drowning in travel research.
That's exactly where I come in.

"Monica is AMAZING!! She has become part of our family! She has taken care of 2 trips for us ... they were both amazing! She did so much work, got us what we needed. Always there to answer my questions! Wouldn’t use anyone else!!"
Dominika N.
"Monica was an absolute wonder. Not only did she make this trip hassle free but she also absolute rocked a situation of my own making. Decided to extend my trip, and she not only negotiated a better rate for me at the resort but also made my shuttle to the airport effortless. Cannot recommend her enough!"
Hillary P.
"Monica made everything so easy, from my flight to my [lodging] to my cruise; all of the details were available to me in one place so that the transitions were seamless! Without her help, I would have been lost."
