About
Hi, I’m Ericka
Owner of Unveiled Explorations & Travel
​
I’m an educator, mental health professional, and travel advisor who believes travel is most meaningful when it’s intentional and aligned with your needs and the season of life you’re in.
​
I’ve always loved the logistics and organization of travel. Even as someone who enjoys the details, there were times when I wished I had support during my own trips. That desire to help others feel guided and cared for in their planning is what shaped Unveiled Explorations & Travel.
​

WHY I STARTED UNVEILED EXPLORATIONS & TRAVEL
The turning point for me came during my first escorted tour. I already loved traveling, but that experience revealed something new: I could travel on my own while still being surrounded by others. It gave me independence, connection, structure, and space all at the same time.
Seeing how many people thrive when they feel both supported and free inspired me to help others experience travel with that same balance.
More than anything, I love watching people enjoy the trips they’ve dreamed about. Trips that become exactly what they needed.
WHO I HELP
I work with a wide range of travelers, including:
-
Busy professionals who want a well planned trip without the mental load
-
Solo travelers who want structure, community, and confidence
-
Groups who are celebrating milestones
-
First-time cruisers who feel overwhelmed by choices
-
Seasoned cruisers looking for new or elevated experiences
-
Anyone wanting a trip that matches the pace and purpose of their life
If you want travel that feels aligned with who you are, you’re in the right place.
WHAT I SPECIALIZE IN
Cruising
I help new and seasoned cruisers choose the right ship, itinerary, and experience based on how they want their trip to feel.
​
Escorted Tours
A great option for travelers who want a blend of structure, support, community, and independence.
Group Travel
Perfect for celebrations, reunions, or hosted trips. I handle the details so you can enjoy the experience.
​
Intentional Travel Planning
Whether you need clarity, rest, adventure, or something meaningful to look forward to, I help create trips that reflect what you need.
​
MY APPROACH
My background in education and mental health shapes the way I work. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help people feel understood, especially if they aren’t sure where to start.
​
My planning focuses on:
-
Understanding your travel style
-
Matching experiences to your interests and needs
-
Clear communication at your pace
-
Support without pressure
-
Thoughtful, organized details
​​
When we work together, you’re not just booking a trip. You’re gaining a partner who genuinely cares about the experience.
​
A BIT ABOUT ME
I’ve traveled solo, with family and friends, and in groups of all sizes. I’ve explored Europe, sailed the Mediterranean, visited Disney many times, and traveled through mountain towns and coastal cities.
​
What has remained the same is this: every destination reveals something new. Sometimes about the place, and sometimes about yourself.
​
That’s where the name Unveiled Explorations comes from. There is always something new to discover.
Stay Connected
Not everyone is ready to plan their next trip right away, and that’s perfectly okay. If you’re in a season of gathering ideas, exploring possibilities, or simply enjoying inspiration, I would love to stay connected.
​
My monthly emails include:
-
Destination ideas
-
Cruise and tour recommendations
-
Travel style tips
-
Early access to hosted group trips
​​
No pressure and no sales. Just helpful guidance at your own pace.
