The VBH
Travel team

We are passionate travelers and researchers who understand how important your vacation time is to you. Our role is to help plan the best vacation for your needs, dreams and budget, whether you're looking to relax at an all-inclusive resort or travel independently on a multi-stop itinerary in Europe, Asia or South America. We also help clients looking for guided tours and cruises as well!

  • Heather Cross

    Heather turned her life-long travel bug into a business when she founded her travel agency in 2014 after years of travel writing. She loves the unfamiliar and nothing makes her more excited than visiting a new destination. This mother of two didn't let her (now teen) kids get in the way of traveling -- instead, she recruited grandparents early-on to join them on family trips creating unforgettable memories. She shares her first hand knowledge to take the overwhelm out of vacation planning to destinations near and far, from honeymoons to multi-generation getaways.

  • Holly Keith

    From studying abroad in Italy and Kenya to driving around Costa Rica and Belize without an itinerary, exploring the world's beauty and cultures has always been Holly's passion. Even before joining the VBH team, she spent hours reading about the latest hot spots and hotels, being sure to tuck them away in her travel file (or Pinterest board!) for future trips. Her friends will tell you that Holly "wants to be on vacation for the rest of her life" but the next best thing is bringing her first-hand experience to helping her clients create memorable experiences around the world.

  • Lauren Doyle

    Lauren has always been drawn to the thrill of discovering new places and immersing herself in diverse cultures. From the vast savannas of South Africa and Botswana to the charming streets of Europe, Lauren loves sharing her knowledge and experience with her clients. She also has a soft spot for leisurely beach vacations, where the rhythm of the waves and the warmth of the sun create the perfect backdrop for relaxation and rejuvenation. No matter the destination, Lauren is dedicated to collaborating on each journey with her clients to suit their unique preferences and desires.

  • Katy Collins

    Katy is a self proclaimed “Disney Nerd” specializing in crafting Disney experiences that are memorable for kids but also enjoyable for the adults. She has always loved researching and planning trips to Disney and Universal Studios for her own family and friends and she’s excited to share insider tricks and a personalized itinerary, tailored to meet the unique needs of your family when you work together. From the classic charm of Walt Disney World, the whimsical world of Harry Potter in Universal Studios, or the luxurious elegance of Aulani in Hawaii, she will ensure your trip is extraordinary.

  • Kelly Piccola

    As the Manager of Agency Operations, Kelly can often be found under a pile of travel documents or knee deep in details. This is where she excels. She enjoys making all of the pieces come together and supporting clients. Her favorite vacation was seeing U2 in Ireland and her favorite trip was to Turks & Caicos with her family. Don't know the difference between a trip and a vacation? Reach out to us and we will make sure that all your trips and vacations are memorable!

  • Sandy Murphy

    As Operations Assistant, Sandy focuses on the details of each trip to make sure our clients have wonderful experiences. She believes traveling can be enriching, expanding, fulfilling, relaxing and inspiring. Her most romantic vacation was traveling in Italy and Paris with her husband. Her most challenging was hiking the rim of Quilotoa in Ecuador. When not dreaming of traveling to places on her bucket list she is out and about volunteering with other Master Gardeners tending gardens, parks and growing produce for those in need.

Where We’ve Been

We love to travel and hope to fill this entire map. But for now, we’re about a quarter of the way through.
