Africa and Ireland Travel Specialist

In 1994, while studying law in Europe, I took my first major trip abroad with a backpack on my back. Before my classes started in Ireland, I traveled to London, Greece, Italy, Austria, Germany, France, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Ireland, and the Czech Republic. After twenty years, I was able to go back to Europe, and my passion for travel was reignited when I went to Italy in 2014. Since then, I have loved planning and researching vacations and the travel bug hit me hard. I started doing all my own research and decided to become a travel agent while planning my daughter's senior trip to Greece in the spring. I crystallized the idea while spending time in Mexico with my family in June. That's when On a Whim Travel, LLC became a reality. I am now an independent contractor with RSVP Events & Travel (https://rsvpeventsonline.com and http://stlouismo.vacation.travelleaders.com) and have been certified as a South African, Ireland, and Mexico travel agent. I am always learning and expanding my knowledge base. Helping people plan their adventures sounds incredible to me and is a passion!!

Zimbabwe
As we set out for Zimbabwe it wasn't the trip we had hoped for..our bush plane couldn't fly due to the rain, so it was a long overland journey first in a bus and then in a safari car with Bee our guide. A safari car has "African Air conditioning" and as they like to say "African massages". We also got treated to our Ferrari Safari since the Hwan...

Rwanda....It touched my Soul
Rwanda...It touched my soul
We were greeted after almost 24 hours of traveling by Aimable who met us at the gate and was so gracious and escorted us through immigration. He delivered us to the capable hands of Herbert who has been wonderful.  I learned about Herbert and his history. He was 13 in 1994. His father fled because he was a Hutu and he did not want to be forced t...

Ireland and the traffic circles
I can never decide if I could live anywhere else if it would be Ireland or Italy.  They are my two favorite countries to visit.  Ireland holds a special place in my heart.  I studied there in 1994 for my summer abroad in law school and watched the slow speed chase of OJ Simpson at a pub named O'Neils in Dublin answering all kinds of questions ab...

    Belize Adventures
    Reviewed By Kerry - Aurora, CO | Traveled to Belize ~ Central America
    I traveled to Belize during the pandemic and Mary was knowledgeable about how to navigate and all the requirements for travel. Belize was amazing and met every "ask" I had for the destination. Travel was easy and the accommodations Mary arranged were absolutely perfect! If you want an agent who listens and delivers, Mary is your best bet!!
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
