MEET CHERYL

A Gig Harbor Travel Advisor With Firsthand Experience

I’m Cheryl, the owner and travel advisor behind Impulsive Escape Travel, based right here in Gig Harbor, Washington. I work directly with travelers throughout the Puget Sound area and across the country to plan personalized vacations and trips around the world, with professional guidance, firsthand experience, and one-on-one support throughout the planning process.

Travel is a huge part of my own life. In the last five years, I’ve visited 22 countries and territories and experienced 21 cruise ships through sailings and professional ship inspections. That firsthand experience, combined with ongoing industry training, helps me give you context you won’t get from a booking engine.

Most planning is handled conveniently by phone and email, but if you’re local and would rather meet in person, I’m happy to meet by appointment somewhere convenient.

HOW IT WORKS

My Process Is Simple:

Step-01

Tell Me About Your Trip

Share your travel dates, destination ideas, budget, who is traveling, and what matters most to you. I’ll use those details to start narrowing down the right options.

Step-02

I Research Your Options

I compare destinations, resorts, cruises, tours, routes, and suppliers based on your trip, then narrow everything down to the options I think fit you best.

Step-03

I Handle the Details

Once you’re ready to book, I take care of the reservation details and stay involved with important deadlines, travel preparations, changes, and questions along the way.
