Travel Expert

Emily Hinojosa

Hi, I’m Emily — founder of Maison Marie Travel, a boutique travel agency based in La Porte, Texas. I specialize in helping busy families, couples, and curious explorers “explore beyond ordinary” with custom-planned vacations that are as effortless as they are unforgettable. With a professional background in business operations and a passion for planning, I bring both heart and precision to every itinerary I create. I’ve built my agency from the ground up — officially establishing my LLC, securing top-tier industry affiliations like Avoya Travel, and partnering with trusted suppliers to provide access to exclusive rates, perks, and first-hand experience. Travel has always been more than just a hobby for me — it’s been a way to reconnect, recharge, and rediscover what matters most. Whether it’s a weekend road trip, a once-in-a-lifetime cruise, or a luxury escape abroad, I believe every trip should reflect your personality, your pace, and your priorities. As your personal travel advisor, I’m here to simplify the planning process, advocate for your needs, and bring your vision to life — all while saving you time, stress, and money. Let’s build your next journey together.

From chasing Disney magic to road-tripping across the Southwest, I’ve turned wanderlust into a lifestyle. I’ve explored everything from the deserts of Arizona to the bayous of Louisiana (where I once called home), camped along Arkansas rivers, and wandered through the hidden gems of Mississippi and Alabama. From the neon glow of Las Vegas to the quiet charm of small-town Illinois, my travels have taken me coast to canyon — and now, deep into the heart of Texas, where I’ve crisscrossed the Lone Star State discovering its best-kept secrets. If there’s a scenic route, I’ll find it — and if there’s a way to make your next trip unforgettable, I’ll plan it.
