Carie and Bill are co-owners of Dream Vacations, a full-service travel agency started in 2014 that provides clients with the highest level of personal service for all their travel needs. Their passion is creating “travel experiences” and helping make lasting memories for their clients and their families.
While raising her three young children and going on the typical family vacations — road trips, Florida, Disney, etc. — Carie learned firsthand the challenges and work involved in planning vacations and instilled a passion for travel. Now, as an empty nester, she follows that passion and travels to places around the globe. Some of her favorite destinations are in Europe, and her favorite cities include Rotterdam, Paris, Bruges, and Barcelona, to name a few.
She is also a consummate cruiser, traveling on many cruises throughout the Caribbean, the West Coast (next stop: Alaska 2022!), and river cruises through Europe. She enjoys spending time with her extended family, who are spread out across the U.S. and Europe. She visits them often and always tries to explore new places and destinations along the way.
She is looking forward to helping you make your next travel destination a pleasurable and memorable experience!
