This past April, my husband and I, along with another couple we love to travel with, took an absolutely epic three-week trip to Italy. It was truly the trip of a lifetime, and so much of that is thanks to Modern Travel Works and, especially, our wonderful travel advisor, Anna Nash. From the very beginning, Anna was such a pleasure to work with. She took the time to sit down with us, really listen to what we wanted, and understand the kind of experience we were hoping to have. We shared the places we wanted to visit, the things we wanted to see and do, and the type of travel experiences we enjoy. She didn’t just hear what we were saying—she really got to know us. By the time our itinerary came together, it felt incredibly personal and tailored to our interests and personalities. Anna took care of every detail, from selecting wonderful hotels and arranging private drivers to planning unique excursions and experiences that made our trip so memorable. Everything was thoughtfully organized, and having those details handled gave us the freedom to simply enjoy ourselves and immerse ourselves in Italy without worrying about the logistics. One of the things we appreciated most was Anna’s knowledge and experience. Because she has traveled extensively herself, she knows so much about what is out there and can recommend experiences that you might never discover on your own. Her recommendations made our trip feel special and authentic rather than simply checking destinations off a list. Most importantly, Anna took the stress out of planning a complicated three-week international trip. There are so many moving parts when traveling for that length of time, especially with two couples, and she made everything feel seamless. We always felt like we were in good hands. We came home with incredible memories, amazing experiences, and countless stories that we will be talking about for years to come. We definitely plan to travel more, and Anna will be the very first person we call when we’re ready to plan our next adventure. We know she will once again help us create an unforgettable trip—and, more importantly, help us continue making beautiful memories together. We couldn’t recommend Anna Nash and Modern Travel Works more highly. If you’re considering a special trip, do yourself a favor and let Anna help you plan it. You won’t regret it!

My wife and I had a three week trip planned by Anna Duran through Italy with another couple. This trip started in Venice, then Florence, then Rome, ended in Sorento. We had 15 excursions booked and private drivers to get us to all the cities. Anna was fantastic and it was first class. Thanks Anna.
Anna Duran with Modern Travelworks did a fantastic job planning and organizing our 21day trip to Italy. She was also a big help to me regarding getting our airline check in done when we had a glitch in the airline App. I highly recommend her. Joe Chiavone

5-Star Review for Sheba & the RUI Ocho Rios, Jamaica Planning an overseas trip for 20+ family members is no easy task—but thanks to Sheba Matthews, our Spence Family Reunion in Jamaica was absolutely flawless from start to finish. From the very first conversation, Sheba was attentive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in making our reunion unforgettable. She guided me through every step—handling the initial details, securing bookings, managing payments, and keeping me updated on who had reserved. She even arranged transportation for every guest and ensured we had a private dining area for our reunion dinner. She also worked closely with the Riu Ocho Rios to secure a space for our meet-and-greet, which set the tone for the entire trip. The RUI Ocho Rios exceeded all expectations! The service was exceptional—from our sweet and attentive morning server Janette, to the warm and professional evening supervisor Roxanne, and the rest of the incredible staff who made us feel welcomed and cared for. Every interaction was filled with smiles, kindness, and true Jamaican hospitality. Sheba’s dedication allowed us to focus on what mattered most—spending quality time together. She checked in regularly, made sure every detail was handled, and went above and beyond to ensure every family member had a wonderful experience. We were in Jamaica for nine unforgettable days, and every moment was filled with love, laughter, and memories we’ll cherish forever. We were truly spoiled by both Sheba’s service and the Riu Ocho Rios team. Sheba, thank you for making our first family reunion such a success. We can’t wait to work with you again to plan our next adventure!

Traveling to Usha Village with Sheba was nothing short of transformative. From the moment I signed up for the trip, I could tell this experience would be rooted in intention, community, and deep healing. Sheba’s organization, communication, and care for each traveler made the entire process seamless—from pre-trip checklists to airport pickups to daily guidance once we arrived in Honduras. Usha Village itself is sacred ground—beautiful, peaceful, and deeply nourishing to the soul. But what made it even more powerful was experiencing it with the community Sheba cultivated. Our group was filled with like-minded, supportive, and spiritually curious individuals, and Sheba held space for us to connect with each other and ourselves in profound ways. Each day was a thoughtful blend of rest, detox, reflection, and spiritual connection. From the herbal steams and electric baths to the alkaline meals and evening discussions, every part of this journey was intentional. Sheba also arranged for us to have cultural experiences outside the village that gave a fuller picture of the beauty and resilience of the local people. What really stood out was Sheba’s leadership. She is grounded, wise, and full of grace—always checking in, offering insights, and reminding us of our purpose. She truly walks in alignment with Dr. Sebi’s legacy and honors the sacredness of Usha Village in everything she does. I’m feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to my purpose. If you’ve been feeling called to visit Usha Village, go with Sheba. You’ll be deeply cared for, surrounded by love, and forever transformed. —Melia D. 💫

I had a great experience with Sheba during the Usha Village detox retreat. She is very welcoming and made sure everyone who attended had everything they needed from knocking on doors and conversing about our health. Would give her 10 stars on here if I could.

I had the pleasure of working with Modern Travelworks and my specific travel agent, Anna. I was traveling with 13 other people to Disney and she made everything so easy for us! She helped us get our park tickets, booked shuttle service to the airport on our arrival and departure days, and everything in between. She also took the time to answer my emaiIs and phone calls all along the way. I will definitely utilize their services in my next trip!

Austin Mendez is simply the best for all your travel needs! My husband and I were not able to travel to Punta Cana due to medical reasons and Austin spearheaded our refund voucher to use at a later date along with rebooking us on a trip now that we are able to travel. His customer service and response time is impeccable. Austin goes above and beyond to make your travel experience more memorable. I highly recommend Austin to oversee a smooth transaction for all your travel needs. Thank you Austin for all you do and for the best customer service!

We have worked with Modern Travelworks for years! I cannot say enough good things about them but especially our personal travel expert, Anna. She is our valued travel advisor and we trust her recommendations immensely. We have always received the best service from Anna, and the team at the resorts we have visited have left us with wonderful vacation memories. It’s such a relief to have someone help and provide their insight. We have referred many friends to Anna who share our opinion that she is simply the best! We have enjoyed Cabo (2 times), Turks & Caicos, Punta Cana, and other parts of Mexico. Anna has become a friend over the years who continues to provide us with the opportunity to make priceless memories as a family. We look forward to working with her for many years to come! Thank you Anna + Modern Travelworks for the exceptional service over the years.
