I started Brandstetter Travel & Hospitality because I love learning, exploring, and discovering what makes each destination special—and I wanted to share that experience with others.

Travel Has Always Been Part of My Story

As a native Floridian, travel and tourism have always been part of my world. I grew up with Walt Disney World practically in my backyard, and that early exposure to hospitality and vacation experiences helped shape my love of travel.

Today, some of my favorite ways to explore are cruising, discovering a new city on a great city tour, and escaping to an all-inclusive resort where everything feels easy. I’m also a lover of great food, wine, and bourbon, so I believe some of the best travel memories happen around a table—or while discovering something you simply can’t experience at home.

Why Alaska Is Special

Alaska isn’t just a destination I love recommending. It’s part of my own story. I married my husband at Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, making one of the world’s most spectacular destinations the backdrop for one of the most important moments of my life.

That personal connection is one reason I love helping travelers experience Alaska’s glaciers, wildlife, mountains, ports, and unforgettable sense of scale for themselves.

My Travel Philosophy

Make Getting There Relaxing—and Being There Exciting.

Whether your perfect vacation means watching glaciers from a cruise ship, wandering through a European city, relaxing at a Caribbean resort, or discovering somewhere completely new, my goal is to take some of the overwhelm out of planning while keeping all the excitement of dreaming about what comes next.
