Hello! I am Tamira and I have been a travel agent for over four years. I have curated hundreds of trips and have traveled a lot myself. I've traveled with my husband, with my kids, and with large groups. I love to explore and go on different excursions when I travel, but I believe in tailoring each trip to what the traveler wants and needs. I am certified in luxury travel and I also provide itineraries for those on a budget. I am highly trained in group travel, couples trips, and solo travel. I want more people to experience all that the world has to offer, and I am happy to help make that happen! From my clients: From the initial stages of crafting an itinerary to the seamless execution of every detail, Dr. Tamira Butler-Likely exhibited a level of professionalism and expertise that truly enhanced our travel experience. Her attention to detail, prompt responsiveness, and in-depth knowledge of Belize made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. The personalized recommendations for accommodations, activities, and dining options were spot-on and perfectly aligned with our preferences. The suggested itinerary not only covered the must-see attractions, but also included hidden gems that added a unique touch to our journey. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tamira to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable travel professional. Thanks to her efforts, our trip to Belize became a cherished memory, and I am grateful for the exceptional service provided. Dr. Tamira is kind, accommodating, and so professional.

Going...
Lives in Chantilly, VA, USA
🌏 Solo travel, Culture enthusiast, English Teaching, Volunteer 🏕 Camping, Hiking, Roadtrips 🦋 Mindful travel, Budget-friendly Hello! My name is Izzy, I am DC based, and I have traveled to 14 countries + five continents in the last five years. My pursuit is to volunteer abroad, as it allows me to expand my horizons, gaining a profound insight into diverse cultures and their impact on our global community. Additionally, I find great pleasure in exploring various states within the US for my own personal enjoyment. (: Going... is meant to be filled in with the blanks of all of your travel desires! Where I am going and how I am doing it are frequent questions inquired of me from myself... but also by my family, friends, and co-workers.  I have a profound passion for mindful travel, where I wholeheartedly immerse myself in the local culture, while carefully considering country-specific requirements, managing my budget thoughtfully, and prioritizing the exploration of history, interactions with the local people, and appreciation of the natural beauty of the destination. My approach involves actively engaging with the people of my chosen location, as I am dedicated to savoring the essence of the country, city, and its inhabitants before bidding adieu. I gauge the success of my trips by whether I've enjoyed my accommodations, discovered amazing food (and coffee, of course!), engaged in meaningful interactions with locals, acquired new knowledge, and experienced a touch of nature's beauty. I decided to make this page to keep an online journal of my travels and to inspire others to make their leaps into their own adventures. The first steps are hard because you do not know what you don't know. I want to help you ask the right questions, prepare yourself emotionally & practically, and foster excitement in what is ahead! I would love to connect with you to help you meet your travel desires and curate the perfect trip!
