Meet Your Travel Advisor

The story behind New Morning Mercy Travel and a passion for helping others explore the world.

Heather Honaker, founder and travel advisor

Hey there! I'm Heather!

I've always loved exploring new-to-me places, and I want to help you do the same. Speaking of exploring, my journey into travel advising began with my own love of discovering hidden gems and creating unforgettable experiences.

There's a meaning behind the name New Morning Mercy Travel: I love that every day brings a fresh start and a new chance to experience something wonderful. That's the spirit I bring to your plans — helping you discover new places and new adventures, and making the whole process feel exciting rather than overwhelming.

There's nothing I love more than helping others. Whether you're a first-time cruiser, planning a destination wedding, or looking for the perfect family resort, I'll treat you with genuine kindness and care every step of the way — handling the details so you can simply relax and enjoy the journey. My goal is simple: to create vacations that exceed your expectations and leave you with memories that last a lifetime.
