Travel Advisor in Reading, Massachusetts
Professional Travel Planning in the Greater Boston Area
Planning a great trip isn't about finding more options. It's about knowing which ones are right for you.
I'm Brianna Hawes, founder of Adventures by Brianna and a professional travel advisor based in Reading, Massachusetts. I work with travelers throughout the Greater Boston area and across the country to plan custom vacations, cruises, and travel experiences around the people taking them.
Whether you know exactly where you want to go or you're still trying to figure that out, I'll help you make sense of the options, understand what fits, and put all the pieces together for a well-planned trip.
A Travel Advisor Who Starts With You
There is no single best destination, hotel, cruise, or itinerary for everyone. What matters is finding the right fit for you.
That's why I start by getting to know the people behind the trip. I want to understand what you've enjoyed about past travels, what you haven't, what you want to experience, how you like to spend your time, and what you're hoping this trip will be.
From there, I help you sort through the options, introduce ideas and possibilities you may not have considered, and make recommendations based on what actually fits.
Then I put the pieces together, coordinating the details and working with trusted travel partners around the world to create a well-planned experience you can actually enjoy.
What I Help Clients Plan
My clients travel for all kinds of reasons and in many different ways. Some want to explore several cities or countries, some want the ease of a cruise, and others are looking for a trip that balances exploring with time to slow down and enjoy where they are.
I plan:
Custom vacations and independent itineraries designed around your interests, priorities, pace, and travel style
River, ocean, and expedition cruises, with guidance on choosing the right cruise line, ship, itinerary, and experiences
Multigenerational and family travel, particularly trips bringing together multiple generations or families traveling with older teens and adult children
Couples and milestone trips, from anniversaries and celebrations to the trips you've been talking about taking for years
Active and soft-adventure travel, combining experiences and exploration with the right amount of downtime
I plan travel throughout Europe, Hawaii, Alaska, Costa Rica, Australia, and beyond, with a particular focus on destinations such as Italy, Portugal, Greece, Switzerland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, and Peru.
Not every trip fits neatly into a category, and it doesn't need to. What matters is understanding what you want from the experience and putting together the right combination of destination, accommodations, activities, and pace.
Why Work With a Professional Travel Advisor?
You can find thousands of travel options online. What you don't always find is the context to know which ones will actually work well for your trip.
I help you look beyond ratings and “best of” lists to understand the differences between destinations, hotels, cruise lines, experiences, and itineraries, and why one option may be a better fit for you than another.
As your travel advisor, I also manage the details that come after those decisions. I coordinate the pieces of your trip, work with trusted travel partners, keep track of the logistics, and remain a resource before and during your travels.
You still make the decisions that matter. You just don't have to figure out everything on your own.
