Hi, I’m Tamara Elliott, founder of Dream Explorations. Let’s make your travel dreams a reality!

I help travelers like you create unforgettable journeys, whether it’s a bucket-list adventure, a relaxing escape, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Since I plan so much travel for myself, family and friends, I decided to become a travel agent and help people experience their dream vacations, without all the hassle of planning themselves. I specialize in cruises, resorts and bucket list international trips.

📣 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT!‼️Earlier this year, my client and her daughter celebrated milestone birthdays in a truly unforgettable way.

Rather than a traditional party, they gathered family and friends for a journey to West Africa. In the end, 18 travelers joined the adventure. Half of the group began in Senegal before meeting the rest of the travelers in Ghana for the second half of the trip. 🇸🇳 🇬🇭

Together, they explored vibrant cities, visited historic sites, connected with local culture, and celebrated in style. As a special gift, custom clothing was made for members of the group, creating a shared connection and some incredible photo opportunities along the way. From meaningful moments of reflection to lively nights filled with music, dancing, and celebration, the trip struck the perfect balance between culture, connection, and fun.

One of my favorite things about this journey was seeing family and friends come together to celebrate two remarkable women while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of such a special celebration and for trusting Dream Explorations with your adventure. 🙌🏾❤️

An award arrived on my doorstep yesterday, but what I really saw was a reminder of the journey behind it.

I was recognized with a Gold Pinnacle Award for my sales performance last year, and I'm incredibly grateful. 🙏🏾 As someone who built Dream Explorations from the ground up, milestones like this mean a lot.

Thank you to every client who trusted me with your vacations, celebrations, and bucket-list adventures. Your support made this possible. 🙌🏾

Here's to helping even more travelers explore the world. ✈️🌎

Our time in Prague was exceptional! 🇨🇿 Nicknamed the City of a Hundred Spires. Castles, churches, breathtaking views, and delicious food were around every corner. We'll be back! ❤️

We spent a couple of extra days in Budapest after our Riviera Travel river cruise. This city is breathtaking! 😍 From Buda Castle to St. Stephen's Basicilica to the Hungarian Parliament to Heroes' Square and the amazing bridges connecting the Buda and Pest sides of the city. 🇭🇺

There is so much history to get engrossed in. And, history was made during our time there, as the citizens voted in new leadership after 16 years. 🗳 Wow!

The best part, we were joined by our friends Mascha and Patrick, who drove up from Serbia to hang out with us. 🥰

We are already trying to figure out when we can return! ❤️🤣🤷🏾‍♀️

The Chef's Signature Dinner last night was unforgettable! It was followed by a string quartet performance. 🎻

There were so many fun moments throughout the night with the Riviera Travel sales directors, team members from KHM, the other great travel advisors on this trip and the team taking care of us on the ship. ❤️

When we arrived in Austria, we started off with two stops: Dürnstein and Melk. In Durnstein, we hiked to the Dürnstein Castle ruins and explored the town. Next stop was Melk to visit Melk Abbey, where 22 Benedictine monks currently reside.

Both areas are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, as part of the Wachau region of Lower Austria. 🇦🇹
