Yuri "Yudi" Pross

Owner, travel planner

Hi there! Thank you so much for stopping by my travel planning site.
My name is Yuri (pronounced Yudi) and I am a proud wife, Mom, and Mimi. As the daughter of a US Marine, a former Marine myself, and the wife of a Marine, travel has always been a prominent part of my life. With years of extensive travel experiences under my belt, I decided to turn my passion into a profession and became a travel planner in June 2019 once our kids ventured out on their own. After more than 20 years in Virginia, my husband John and I made a move to just east of Cheyenne, Wyoming three years ago, embracing new adventures and fresh surroundings.

As an avid cruiser, I have personally embarked on 31 voyages with 11 different cruise lines, making me a true expert in the field. While I have cruised on some of the largest ships available, some of the oldest as well as some of the newest, I have recently discovered the pleasure and intimacy of small-ship cruising; I’d love to offer opportunities for others to experience the enjoyment they offer. In addition to cruising, I am well-versed in all-inclusive resorts and am also very familiar with Rocky Mountaineer luxury rail vacations.

From living in Japan, both as a child and an adult, as well as my travels to various destinations in Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, and beyond, I bring a wealth of first-hand experience to assist both seasoned travelers and novices alike. With over 25 years of military experience, as active duty, spouse, and parent, I am particularly supportive of our military community and always strive to find applicable military discounts for my clients.

When it comes to planning trips for my clients, I am genuinely enthusiastic because I simply love to travel. Caribbean cruising holds a special place in my heart, but my bucket list trip to the Society Islands – Tahiti, Bora Bora, and the like – was absolutely unforgettable. Portofino, Italy captured my heart, and experiencing the wonders of Alaska for the second time reaffirmed its timeless beauty. I am eagerly awaiting my return to Japan, especially after recently sending clients there to explore its unique wonders.

Once again, thank you for visiting my website! I am thrilled at the prospect of working with you and turning your travel dreams into stunning realities.
