Vacations I've loved

DANIELLE Garrett
FOUNDER OF planit travel designs

My insatiable love for travel began during my one year wedding anniversary trip to Europe. As my husband and I explored London and Paris, it was as if I had discovered a hidden secret. The excitement and passion for exploring beyond my small world became a persistent desire in my life. Over the last 25 years, I have traveled to many countries throughout Western Europe, the Caribbean and the United States.

I grew up with an entrepreneurial father who consistently nurtured a “you can do anything” attitude within me. He was my best friend and his passing left me feeling adrift for many years, but ultimately his passion for life gave me the resolve to follow in his entrepreneurial footsteps. He was a dreamer and his spirit, along with my knack for planning, helped launch PlanIt Itineraries in 2013.

My husband, Matt and I live in Atlanta with our 3 kids. We have made traveling to new places (and back to favorites) a lifelong priority. Seeing the world through the eyes of our kids has always brought us pure joy!

The best things in life are the people you love, the places you've been and the memories you’ve made along the way. Throughout our marriage, my husband and I have prioritized traveling both alone and as a family with our three children. From Alaska to Florida and the Caribbean to Europe, our travels have given us the gift of adventure and taught us how to embrace the treasures the world has to offer us. My husband says I enjoy planning our trips almost as much as going on them :) St. Petersburg, Russia is our most unique travel destination …..the architecture and history were truly incredible!

One of my favorite parts of visiting new places is immersing myself in the culture and appreciating the language, the food and the people. Also, I have loved watching my children learn to navigate new territory, communicate with people who speak a different language and gaze with wonder at awe-inspiring architecture and landscape.

As an empty nester, I am thrilled to join PlanIt Travel Designs and partner with other families to create memories of their own.

travel designer

My early career was spent in corporate finance with Wachovia Bank. After 22 years at home raising 2 children and watching them begin their own lives, I was ready to re-enter the professional world.

My interest and passion for travel ultimately led me to a local travel agency where I gained experience as a travel professional. Traveling with my family was always a priority and now as an empty nester, I enjoy spending even more time traveling to different destinations and immersing myself in new cultures.

A few of my favorite trips include Hawaii, the Caribbean, and Italy. We most recently traveled to Scotland, where many of our ancestors descended from. A highlight was securing a reservation for my husband to play golf on the St. Andrews Old Course.

Through my professional travel experience, I’ve discovered a passion for the process of planning trips. I care for each client's trip as though I were planning it for my own family. Creating memorable and unique experiences for others is my ultimate goal! 

I’m excited to join Danielle’s team at Planit Travel Designs and I look forward to playing a part in broadening the world for future clients.

Traveling has always been a priority in my life. As a former teacher, I would spend my summers traveling and enjoying different adventures. I've always been passionate about planning our trips, finding joy in researching new destinations and creating exciting itineraries. My family loves the outdoors and we have hiked hundreds of miles in National Parks throughout the United States and Canada. We treasure discovering the distinctive wonders that each park has to offer. We have also traveled throughout Europe, Central American and, most recently, Croatia! 

As much as I enjoy planning our family adventures, I find it equally rewarding helping others make their own travel dreams come true. I truly believe travel can change lives, and so I keep chasing new adventures while encouraging others to do the same.
