About Go All Places Travel
Dream Vacations
Travel means something different to everyone. For some, it is a quiet beach at sunset. For others, it is standing in a European plaza with centuries of history at your feet. For many here in Port Charlotte and Englewood, it is finally taking that cruise you have talked about for years. At Go All Places Travel – Dream Vacations, we believe every trip should feel personal, purposeful, and completely tailored to you. That belief guides everything we do.
We are a locally owned travel agency serving Southwest Florida and clients nationwide, dedicated to crafting exclusive travel experiences that go far beyond clicking “book now.” Our role is to design vacations that reflect who you are, how you like to travel, and what memories you want to create.
A Mother-Daughter Team
With a Shared Passion
Go All Places Travel is led by co-owners CJ and Kate Austin, a mother-daughter duo who turned their shared love of travel into a full-service travel planning business. CJ brings a strong corporate background, which means attention to detail, organization, and strategic planning are second nature. Kate previously owned and operated a successful pet grooming business before selling it to launch this venture, bringing hands-on customer care and entrepreneurial energy to the team.
Together, we combine business expertise with genuine enthusiasm for exploring the world. As a mother-daughter travel team, we treat every trip like it is our own. We know what it feels like to save for a big vacation, coordinate schedules, and want everything to go smoothly. That personal perspective shapes how we plan and support our clients.
Cruises, Resorts, and Bucket-List Adventures
Living in Port Charlotte means being within reach of major cruise ports like Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Cape Canaveral. We frequently plan cruise vacations for Southwest Florida residents, whether it is a quick Caribbean escape or a longer Alaska cruise adventure.
We also love planning luxury travel experiences and unique adventures. As travelers ourselves, we understand the thrill of scuba diving in crystal-clear waters or discovering hidden gems beyond typical tourist routes. If you have a bucket-list destination in mind, we are ready to help make it happen.
Travel Designed Around You
No two travelers are alike, and no two trips should be either. Whether you are dreaming of a serene beach escape, a romantic European holiday, an adventure Down Under, or an enriching cruise port city tour, we take the time to understand your goals before recommending options.
We specialize in:
- Ocean and river cruises, including family, adults-only, and luxury world cruises
- All inclusive resort vacations
- Custom trips and guided tours
- Group travel planning and destination celebrations
- Family reunions and milestone events
- Adventure travel, including scuba diving and off-the-beaten-path destinations
Our approach is hands-on and customized from start to finish. You share the vision. We handle the research, coordination, and logistics to bring it to life.
More Than Just Booking a Trip
In today’s world, it is easy to believe that booking travel online is enough. However, what you do not see on a booking website often matters most. We understand cancellation policies, cabin categories, resort layouts, seasonal pricing patterns, and itinerary logistics that can significantly impact your experience.
As your travel agent, we:
- Compare options across a broad network of trusted travel partners
- Identify added value opportunities and competitive vacation package deals
- Clarify fine print before you commit
- Coordinate details across flights, transfers, cruises, and resorts
- Provide ongoing support if plans change
Instead of spending hours researching and second-guessing, you gain a dedicated travel advisor who knows your trip inside and out.
A Personalized Planning Experience
Every trip begins with a conversation. We want to know where you want to go, what you want to experience, your budget, and your travel style. From there, we research routes, resorts, itineraries, and available offers to create a tailored proposal.
Once you decide, we secure reservations, coordinate confirmations, and provide documentation guidance. Before departure, we offer reminders and preparation tips. If something unexpected arises during your travels, you are not navigating it alone. You have real advisors who know your itinerary and can step in when needed. This level of service is what transforms a trip into a smooth, stress-free experience.
Rooted in Southwest Florida, Serving Travelers Everywhere
Although we are based in Englewood and Port Charlotte, our travel planning services extend nationwide. Through virtual consultations and digital coordination, we help families, couples, and groups across the country design meaningful journeys.
At the same time, our Southwest Florida roots give us insight into the travel habits of local residents. Whether you are escaping summer heat or planning a winter cruise, we understand how to align travel timing with Florida’s unique rhythm.
Why We Do What We Do
At the heart of Go All Places Travel – Dream Vacations is a simple mission: to help you discover your world with confidence and excitement. Travel is not just about destinations. It is about shared experiences, personal growth, and memories that last long after you return home.
As a family-run travel agency, we value relationships. We celebrate when our clients send photos from a long-awaited vacation. We feel pride when a family reunion comes together flawlessly. We love hearing that a trip we planned became someone’s favorite memory.
When you work with us, you are not calling a generic booking center. You are partnering with a mother-daughter team who genuinely cares about the outcome of your journey and is committed to designing travel experiences that are thoughtfully planned, personally meaningful, and truly unforgettable.
