Hi, I’m Angela Ratigan.

This is more than just a business—it’s where my love of travel and curiosity get to run wild. I’m here to make your trips smoother, more meaningful, and a lot more fun. Let’s plan something that actually feels like you, so you can slow down and enjoy every minute. Hit “Get In Touch” and let’s make it happen.

I’m based in Ridgecrest, California.

Based in Ridgecrest, I currently operate as a remote-first business, allowing me to serve clients both locally and across a wider region with flexibility and ease. While I’m proud to support my immediate community, my remote capabilities mean I can connect and collaborate wherever you are. As I continue to grow, I’m actively seeking the perfect storefront to establish a dedicated in-person space—but until then, I’m fully equipped to deliver the same high-quality service from anywhere.

I’m a certified travel advisor through Fora Travel. I have an IATA number, a License to Sell Travel in California, and a doctoral degree in Archaeology. I have 14 years of experience traveling and developing itineraries in Greece, Italy, and Germany. I love traveling, and I want to share that passion with you.

When you contact me, you are contacting a professional agent who is plugged into a worldwide network of partnerships that get you excellent rates with preferred partners and amazing perks, recommendations, and upgrades.

No trip is too big or too small. I can book you for a weekend away with your gal pals, a romantic anniversary trip, a safari with a vetted destination management company, or an adventure expedition cruise. The sky is the limit.

Simple ideas

Through every step, I’ll focus on what you want to do on the trip, and when there are gaps, I’ll research your best options through my professional networks and offer solutions.

Lasting impact

When we work together, we’re building a relationship that lasts. I will capture your likes, dislikes, allergies, mobility issues, and even your height.

And this basic service is free to you.

As a travel advisor, I am paid on commission by the vendor, not by you, and commission rates are already built into the costs of those rooms, flights, and excursions, whether you use an agent or not. My host agency handles payment from the hotel, airline, or DMC.
