MY STORY
Hello! I’m Debbie, and I live in Ellicott City, Maryland. Travel has always been a part of my life—from family road trips to European adventures and unforgettable cruises. Now I have turned that lifelong passion into my second career as a travel advisor, helping others plan their own memorable journeys.
After retiring from a 40-year career in government, much of which included management responsibilities and international travel, I decided to combine my professional experience with my love of exploring the world. I enjoy planning trips just as much as taking them, and there’s nothing more rewarding than helping someone create lasting travel memories.
Like many travelers, I have a bucket list of destinations I’m working my way through. Every trip expands my knowledge of destinations, cruise lines, transportation, accommodations, and unique experiences, allowing me to provide thoughtful recommendations and personalized vacations tailored to your interests.

What My Clients Have to Say
Cruise from Greece to Rome
My family had an amazing experience on a cruise to Greece and Rome in July thanks to Debbie’s cruise expertise! She recommended many excursions that were a perfect fit for the various interests in our family, from a wine tour in Tuscany to tours of ancient sites in Greece. Her detailed itinerary kept us on track throughout our trip. We especially appreciated how she helped us sort out an issue with a vendor and checked in with us during our trip! We are looking forward to working with Debbie on our future vacations!
Thanks Debbie!
Spent a week in the Costa Rican rainforest with numerous excursions and transfers. It was paradise! Everything went exactly as planned, the Lost Iguana resort was beautiful and the staff was great!!!!
We highly recommend Debbie and will Definitely use her help again in the future!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Debbie! She helped us plan our trip to Rome, including booking our flights and an amazing hotel that was perfect for our family. She arranged our Vatican tour and Colosseum tour, and everything went so smoothly.
What really set Debbie apart was how helpful and attentive she was throughout the entire process. She checked in on us during our trip, answered all of our questions, and made sure everything was going well. Having someone so knowledgeable and caring took so much stress out of planning and allowed us to simply enjoy our vacation.
Thanks to Debbie, our trip was truly unforgettable, and we are so grateful for all of her help. We highly recommend her to anyone planning a trip!
Celebrity Apex Cruise
I just returned from a relaxing week aboard the Celebrity Apex. Our cruise began way before last week when we engaged Debbie Marcelli to plan our vacation. Her suggestions for specialty restaurants, entertainment and drink packages was spot-on. She told us not to miss the show in Eden and she was right! Most impressive were her recommendations for our cabin and excursions which saved us money. Our vacation was better because of Debbie.
