Never Just A Trip Travel
At Never Just A Trip Travel, we believe travel is more than flights and hotels—it’s about experiences, connection, and memories that last a lifetime.
This business was built from a shared love of learning, exploring, and creating meaningful moments—both as individuals and as a family.
Meet Samantha & Alex
Samantha is a former educator with an undergraduate degree in Geography and a minor in History, and has a master’s in education. Long before becoming a travel advisor, she was passionate about understanding the world—its cultures, landscapes, and stories—and helping others see how places connect to the bigger picture. Travel has always felt like an extension of her classroom: learning through experience, curiosity, and discovery.
That background plays a huge role in how trips are planned at Never Just A Trip Travel. Every destination has a story, and Samantha loves helping travelers experience places in a way that feels meaningful—not rushed or generic.
Alex has proudly served in the United States Air Force since graduating high school and will be retiring in the coming years. His military career and Dominican roots have shaped a deep appreciation for travel, adaptability, and seeing the world from different perspectives. As retirement approaches, the vision for this business grew even stronger—creating a life where travel is intentional, flexible, and centered around experiences that matter.
Together, Samantha and Alex built Never Just A Trip Travel with a shared dream: to travel more, slow down, and help others do the same.
Travel Is Personal to Us
We’re a blended family with four kids—two each, and some of our favorite memories have been made traveling together. From road trips and weekend getaways to bigger adventures, we believe travel creates core memories—the kind that shape kids, strengthen families, and stay with you long after the bags are unpacked.
That belief is at the heart of our business.

We specialize in:
- Girls’ trips and weekend escapes
- Couples and milestone travel
- Family travel and memory-making vacations
- Group trips, hosted experiences, and special events
- But Mexico and the Dominican Republic are where we’ve traveled the most
From local excursions to bucket-list destinations, every trip is planned with intention, care, and a deep understanding that travel looks different for everyone.
More Than a Travel Agency
Never Just A Trip Travel is about helping people say yes to experiences—without stress or overwhelm. We offer personalized planning, honest guidance, and access to exclusive group trips, events, and VIP experiences through our community.
Because travel should feel:
✨ intentional
✨ meaningful
✨ exciting
✨ and truly worth it
It should be more than just checking a destination off a list.
It should be Never Just A Trip.
Welcome—we can’t wait to help you create memories that matter.
