Hi, I’m Debi - and I’m all about downtime done right.
I created Downtime Destinations for travelers who want their vacations to actually feel like a break. Not rushed. Not overplanned. Just easy, relaxing travel that lets you slow down, breathe, and enjoy the moment.
I specialize in stress-free cruise vacations, helping travelers plan relaxing cruises that balance beautiful destinations with plenty of time to unwind - whether that’s a quiet morning on your balcony, a peaceful sea day, or a thoughtfully chosen port that doesn’t feel overwhelming.
From our first conversation to the day you return home, I take care of the details so you don’t have to. My goal is simple: to make travel feel calm again, so you can focus on enjoying your downtime.
Ready to plan a relaxing cruise vacation without the stress?
Let’s create your perfect escape - I’ll handle the planning, and you can focus on the fun.

Excursions I’ve Personally Experienced
I don’t just research tours-I’ve been there. Here are a few excursions I’ve personally taken and loved, and I’m always happy to share what made them special (and who they’re best for).
Cozumel: Mexico’s Iconic Elements - Chocolate, Honey & Tequila
A relaxed and fascinating cultural tour that blends history with hands-on tastings. This experience offered a wonderful look at local traditions without feeling rushed—and yes, the tequila tasting was a favorite!
Best for: First-time cruisers, culture lovers, and anyone who prefers a slower-paced day with flavor.
Alaska: Glacier & Fjord Scenic Tour
A peaceful and breathtaking excursion showcasing Alaska’s glaciers, towering fjords, and untouched wilderness. This experience was all about slowing down, taking in the views, and appreciating the sheer beauty of the landscape - camera very much required.
Best for: Nature lovers, photographers, and travelers who want a memorable Alaska experience without a strenuous pace.
I may specialize in helping you slow down, but behind the scenes, I’m backed by some incredible partners
that help keep your vacation planning effortless.
