Happy 2024! 🤩

As we begin our next journey around the sun together, I wanted to take the time to re-introduce myself and what I do professionally.

My name is Stefanie Van Aken, and I am a Travel Agent. I work with families, multi-gen families, small groups, celebratory groups, couples, solo travel, you name it, I can plan it!

My favorite places to book: Africa, London, Paris, Italy, Hawaii, Cabo, Costa Rica, Peru

But I love booking: All over Europe, the Caribbean, Pacific Islands, Cancun/Tulum/Mayakoba, Central America, and any new place you present!

I also enjoy booking the USA- so many unique places to discover and explore in our own country. 🇺🇸

My agency now consists of 2 partner agents, and they can also help make your wildest travel dreams come true!

Katy Paterson manages our Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Japan, and Korea journeys.

Carrie Wells Raho is our Disney expert in all things Disney: World, Land, Cruises, but do not forget Disney has a vast array of products that include NatGeo adventure trips and also their small group tours, Adventures by Disney. Carrie also specializes in VIP tours in the parks and helping you navigate your app and time!

We also book mid to high-end ocean and river cruises: Regent Seven Seas, Explora, UniWorld, Royal Caribbean, Disney and Viking to name a few.



Booking your trip with a travel agent may or may not cost more than booking it yourself, the benefits of using a travel agent can be priceless. Ask anyone who’s been stuck in an airport because of a mix-up or canceled flight how invaluable the expertise of a travel agent can be.

If you choose RSMLV Travel as your travel designer, please know that:

We are always available for all of your travel needs, from booking an airline ticket or hotel to planning your most exotic vacations. Also, I often have access to complimentary amenities at hotels and resorts because of my industry connections.

RSMLVTravel has exclusive access to many hotel brands such as Four Seasons, Auberge, Rosewood, Belmond, and Bonvoy STARS/Luminous properties, as well as any Virtuoso property, where you automatically get daily breakfast for two, a room upgrade (if available) and an added value amenity worth $100 (usually food and beverage or spa credit)

If something goes amiss when you’re on your trip, we are available to help you. Please call or email us immediately so we can fix it. Don’t be shy and say you didn’t want to make a fuss. You’ve paid money for this vacation and RSMLVTravel is your advocate. Little things that can mar your experience can typically be fixed quite easily and that’s what we are here for.

Our favorite part of our job, and something that the internet can’t do, is talk to you and listen to your wish list and trip priorities. We take into account your preferences and needs and match you to your perfect vacation.

I have spent the last 6 years building personal relationships with hotel managers and staff, giving me leverage to get you things you can’t get on your own, such as that “sold out” room or the connecting rooms that the online sites say are unavailable.

If you are travelling with a group, we can be the go-to person to coordinate everything so that you can just enjoy your trip.

Do make travel a priority in your life. Every moment is precious and if you keep putting off that family vacation or that couple’s getaway, you may never do it and only end up with regrets.

Let RSMLVTravel design a trip for you that will create many wonderful experiences and fabulous memories! 💜
