A Boutique Travel Agency
Hi, I’m Heather — Founder of Purple Suitcase Travel 💜✈️
I plan trips for people who love to travel but don’t want to manage the planning, decisions, or details.
My clients enjoy travel — they just don’t have the time or desire to:
• research every option
• compare endless hotels or cruise itineraries
• juggle logistics and personalities
• or worry about whether they made the “right” choice
That’s where I come in.
I act as a travel decision partner, not just a booker. I narrow the options to one or two strong recommendations, explain why they work, and handle everything it takes to make the trip happen — from flights and hotels to transfers, cruises, excursions, and pacing.
I stay responsible for the experience from takeoff to the ride home.
A few important things to know about how I work:
• I don’t plan budget-first trips
• I don’t manage trips by committee
• I don’t book experiences I wouldn’t take myself
• I value quality, feasibility, and how a trip actually feels once you’re there
Travel should be enjoyable — not stressful, rushed, or filled with regret. I believe the best trips come from thoughtful planning, realistic expectations, and having someone in your corner when things don’t go exactly as planned.
If you want a vacation where you can show up and enjoy it, trust the recommendations, and know someone has your back — we’ll likely be a great fit.
If you’re looking to price shop, DIY, or control every detail, I’m probably not the right advisor — and that’s okay.
📩 Message me or book a consult if this sounds like how you want to travel.
