Erica Barker
Owner & Senior Travel Advisor | Magnolia + Palm Travel Co.
Hey there! I’m Erica, founder and co-owner of Magnolia and Palm Travel Company.
As a busy professional, your time is valuable—and planning an incredible vacation can be overwhelming. That’s where I come in. With over a decade of experience in the travel industry, I specialize in curating seamless, stress-free, and highly personalized itineraries that let you focus on the experience, not the logistics.
From luxury stays in iconic cities to private vineyard tours in the countryside, I craft one-of-a-kind trips tailored to your preferences. Whether it’s securing exclusive access to top attractions, booking Michelin-star dining, or arranging private transfers and guides, I handle every detail—so you don’t have to.
My background in problem-solving and customer service means I anticipate challenges before they happen, ensuring smooth travel from start to finish. And if something does come up? I’m just a message away, offering white-glove support while you’re on the road.
While I still love planning Disney and family vacations, my passion lies in crafting unforgettable European experiences—from sipping wine in Tuscany to uncovering hidden gems in Portugal and Scotland.
When I’m not planning trips, you’ll probably find me baking sourdough or hanging out with my rescue dog, Zion.
From first idea to final itinerary, I’ll craft a trip that’s as seamless as it is unforgettable.
