Meet Courtney

FOUNDER / OWNER / TRAVEL ADVISOR

Hi, I’m Courtney Fontenot, founder of Breezy Travel & Destinations, travel whisperer for midlife adventurers, and your go-to guide for stress-free, unforgettable escapes.

Before launching Breezy, I spent years working full-time as a crisis manager for a law enforcement agency, where I led the department’s victim services unit. It was all about helping people through tough moments and it taught me how to stay calm in chaos, solve problems on the fly, and show up with empathy no matter what’s unfolding.

At the same time, I was also running a successful wedding and events business, planning everything from elegant celebrations to milestone gatherings. Juggling both roles taught me how to manage logistics like a pro, stay detail-focused without losing the big picture, and create experiences that feel both seamless and meaningful.

Now, I bring all of that to the world of travel, helping midlife travelers trade stress for sunsets, and to-do lists for bucket-list bliss.

Whether it’s a luxe cruise through the Mediterranean, a culture-rich river journey, or a perfectly paced island-hopping adventure, I specialize in crafting elevated experiences for those of us who’ve earned a little (okay, a lot of) comfort with our adventure.

My clients are curious, seasoned, and craving travel that feels as effortless as it does extraordinary and that’s exactly what I deliver. I believe you should never have to stress over logistics, apps, or airport chaos. Your only job? Show up and soak it all in.

At Breezy Travel & Destinations, I take your bucket list and turn it into a well-orchestrated reality with a little sparkle, a lot of heart, and a personalized touch that makes all the difference.

Let’s make your next chapter your most adventurous yet.
