About Me

I’m Val, the founder of Val‑id Occasions. As a home‑based travel advisor, my mission is simple: help you travel more while worrying less. I believe a thoughtfully crafted itinerary is the key to an effortless vacation—and that’s exactly what I deliver.

After more than 15 years planning my own family’s adventures, I now specialize in creating stress‑free escapes to the Caribbean and Mexico. I handle every detail for couples and families, transforming what could be a planning headache into a smooth, seamless journey. Your only job? Enjoy the sun, sand, and serenity.

When I’m not planning trips or scouting the best beaches, you’ll usually find me camping with my husband of 37 years and our sweet chihuahua—because I believe every kind of travel, from sandy beaches to campfires, should feel just right.
