Years ago, as a young woman, I headed off the college not quite sure what direction my life was headed.  I spent about a year and a half doing what I had to do in school but honestly was always looking for something more.  Someone suggested I explore the Travel and Tourism program. 


That was one of the best piece of advice I was ever given! 


Learning about all the wonderful places on our beautiful planet was simply exciting!!  I graduated with my degree in Travel and Tourism and never looked back. 


38 years later - I own Wilcox Travel Leaders!!


Every aspect of travel planning excites me.  From corporate travel to vacation travel.  I take pride in getting the corporate traveler from point A to point B with efficiency and cost effectiveness.  At the same time, I get excited helping in the planning of a vacation of a life time. 


No matter what your travel needs - I'm here to help you get it done with expertise and knowledge.

All Inclusive Vacation Specialist

As an All Inclusive Vacation Specialist at Wilcox Travel Leaders, I have had the pleasure of experiencing some of the top all-inclusive resorts in the most stunning destinations across Mexico and the Caribbean. From the white sand beaches to the lush tropical landscapes, I've personally visited a variety of all-inclusive resorts to immerse myself to truly understand what makes these vacations so special.

All-inclusive resorts offer unparalleled value, convenience, and peace of mind, with meals, drinks, activities, and entertainment seamlessly bundled into one exceptional price point.

I would be delighted to share my firsthand knowledge and insights to help you plan the all-inclusive escape of a lifetime.

Memorable trip to Greece.
This was our first time working with a travel agent. Maria communicated with us professionally and promptly through all aspects of planning the trip. We were extremely pleased with her choice of hotels and arrangement of transportation (ferry and taxi) in each location. We would highly recommend Maria and Wilcox Travel to anyone considering a trip to Europe and beyond!
