Carrie Van Bruwaene
Mexico/Caribbean Travel Agent Specialist
I am a romance and family travel expert dedicated to the creation of amazing and memorable travel experiences. It is extremely important to me to be able to provide you with exceptional service and attention to every detail.
I have been planning travel my entire life, starting with family trips when I was very young. I would always contact the visitor's bureaus and tourism boards in the cities and countries that we were going to travel to in order to get as much information as I could about our upcoming destination. This passion continues with me today as I strive to design unique and memorable travel experiences for my clients with the best resources possible.
I have previously lived in Mexico and have traveled extensively throughout the country. I have expert knowledge of the country's people, language, culture and beauty. I am a Mexico Travel Expert through the Mexico Tourism Board, as well as a specialist for many destinations and resort properties within Mexico. It is an amazing country with everything to offer for any type of travel. The beauty of the beaches, mountains and countryside, the richness of the culture, the warmth of the people, the availability of adventure and the value that you can get for your money make it an outstanding destnation.
I have traveled extensively throughout the USA, Caribbean, Europe and the South Pacific. All are wonderful destinations. The proximity of the Caribbean to the United States and the beauty and diversity of the islands make it another wonderful choice for destination weddings, honeymoons and family getaways. I am a One Love Jamaica Travel Agent Specialist, a Certified Sandals Specialist and also a specialist in many of the Caribbean island destinations and resorts.
I am a member of the Destination Wedding and Honeymoon Specialist Association (DWHSA). I am also a Certified Romance Travel Professional and have completed the Love Mexico and Mexico Romantico Programs. I am a Hard Rock All-Inclusive Resorts WOW Wedding Specialist and a Palace Resorts PRO and Wedding Specialist.
I am fortunate to travel often for business and pleasure. Regardless of the purpose of my travel, every journey that I am able to take provides me with a wealth of knowledge and experience that I am able to pass on to my very valuable clients. I visit Mexico and the Caribbean a minimum of 6 times a year to get first hand experiences in the destinations and to visit as many resorts as I can to be able to give the best information to my travel clients. I also stay current on destination, resort and cruise certifications to be sure that I have the most up to date information possible.
I would value the opportunity to work with you on your travel plans! If are interested in a Destination Wedding for just the two of you or with a group of dozens or hundreds of your family and friends, a romantic honeymoon that you will remember for your lifetime or a family vacation to enjoy some time away, please contact me and I will be happy to begin designing a memorable experience for you.
