About

"What is your favorite destination?" When I couldn't name just one, I knew that I had found my calling - sharing the world with others.

I've been organizing and planning getaways for clients since 1999. My career in travel started with an internship at Kahala Travel in San Diego, which turned into a full-time position immediately after graduating from Point Loma Nazarene University. I took my love of travel one step further in 2013 when I decided to start my own travel consulting business - For Love of Travel.

My passion is for working with leisure travelers. From girlfriends' getaways to St. Lucia to 7-month around the world adventures covering five continents, I have extensive experience in crafting custom itineraries suited to my clients' interests, desires, and budgets. With all the information that is available online, I've found that my job is more important now than ever as I help my clients wade through the endless choices available and hone-on on their ideal getaway.

My destination specialties include Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, the Cook Islands, New Zealand, St. Lucia, Jamaica, Antigua, Curacao, Grenada, the Bahamas, Mexico, France, Italy and Spain. I am also a Certified Sandals Specialist. My other certifications include:

  • Tahiti Tiare Agent
  • Fiji Matai Agent
  • Cook Islands Specialist
  • Saint Lucia Specialist
  • Curacao Destination Specialist
  • Grenada Specialist
  • Honeymoon & Destination Wedding Specialist
  • Sandals WeddingMoons Specialist
  • Certified Sandals Specialist - Gold Agent


I look forward to sharing my expertise with you to create a an incredible travel experience so that you, too, will experience the love of travel!

All the best,

After doing weeks of honeymoon research and finding ourselves no closer to a decision on what destination to choose for our honeymoon, let alone which type of resort or experience we wanted to have, I knew it was time to call in an expert. Becky was the third travel agent we reached out to (after not getting anywhere with the first two companies we tried...), and she is FABULOUS! She really listened to what we were looking for in our honeymoon, and took our budget into consideration as she made her recommendations. She went above and beyond researching different locations and resort options and presented us with a variety of choices that helped us zero in on our perfect trip. She was quick to respond whenever we had questions - and we had A LOT of questions! She was able to book our flights to our destination wedding for us as well, so we can transfer from wedding to honeymoon and back home seamlessly. I would highly recommend Becky to take the stress out of planning all your wedding and honeymoon travel!!

I can't thank Becky enough or say enough wonderful things about how she helped us plan our honeymoon. We kinda knew what we wanted, & kinda knew when, and Becky was an absolute saint with my 1,001 questions and ideas, walking with us through every option until it was just right. She listened to everything we said (and heard everything we didn't say but meant), always gave us the information we needed without EVER pushing into anything or selling something that wasn't right for us or out of our budget. And even after everything was booked, and I had 200 more questions, she was just as helpful (if not more) with helping me work through every single little detail ahead of time so I could relax 100% & never worry about a thing on our trip. Everything worked out as good if not better than we planned, & even without the special note from the resort saying she'd been in touch & I have a feeling that the extra care and attention from Becky made some things even more perfect than they already were.

I've already recommended Becky to my friends and family, and we're already starting to plan for the next big trip. I'd gotten so used to trying to pull together trips all by myself on-line, I'd forgotten how much better it is to have a true professional who truly knows what they're doing (and clearly loves what she does!) to help make everything just right.

I never usually write reviews, but this time I felt it absolutely necessary to share the more then wonderful experience I had with Becky Gillespie. First off, she is the most professional and knowledgeable travel agent I have ever come across, and honestly feel ever will come across. I did quite a bit of research beforehand. Nobody else seemed to know nearly as much as she did, and since the initial e-mails, Becky was the most eager to want to help us. She actually made me more excited, if that was even possible! The location Becky recommended was absolutely incredible! She has been everywhere over the world, so her recommendations are very accurate.
This vacation was a little different than the norm since I was planning this proposal, and Becky was there every step of the way. Over the course of the 10 months we must have exchanged at least 100 emails, and she always responded immediately! Communication was flawless at all times. At one point I was stressing myself out, and I think I asked WAY too many questions, and Becky was always patient and answered every single one.
From A-Z Becky took care of it all, literally. Everything was already setup upon our arrival. For the proposal, she set me up with the wedding manager who had the most wonderful ideas for proposing, which my now fiancé was completely blown away by. After I proposed she kept saying "This feels like a dream", and it absolutely was.
I can honestly say that this vacation would not have been the same without Becky. If you don't choose Becky as your travel agent you are making a big mistake. This was our first trip we have booked through her, and it most definitely will not be the last!
We are looking forward to working with you, and planning some more relaxing, fun, and extravagant vacations in the future! You really are the best. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Becky, for everything! It was absolute bliss and perfection. This was a vacation we will never forget. Thank you!

Becky was our travel agent for our honeymoon in French Polynesia. We were unsure where we wanted to travel at first and she helped us narrow down our options and created several different itineraries for us. She was very easy to work with and promptly responded to all our emails and phone calls. She was very patient with us and open to all our suggestions and answered our questions. Becky sent us our travel documents quickly and made sure we had a contact person in French Polynesia in case we had any problems. I would definitely recommend Becky for your travels/honeymoon.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
