About
Yanitza N Betancourt-Cruz
Independent travel advisor, Next Stop Adventures LLC.
Hello
Next Stop Adventures
A travel advisor who writes about the places she plans
Certified travel advisor and travel media storyteller focused on culturally immersive, authentic travel.
I started Next Stop Adventures in 2019 as a travel blog about real places, hidden history and slow adventures. Over the years it grew into a boutique travel agency, and in 2025 I became a travel advisor so I could plan the trips I used to only write about.
I am based in North Georgia and work as an independent advisor in the WorldVia Travel Network and as a Travel Leaders Network associate. I am a member of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and hold a Puerto Rico Destination Specialist certification.
How I work
What to expect
01
Your pace comes first
Some travelers want every day full. Others want three days in one place. I plan around how you like to move.
02
Honest recommendations
If a trip is not the right fit, I will say so and suggest something better.
03
Details handled
Flights, transfers, partners and timing are arranged, so you can enjoy the place.
