Fueled by wanderlust, driven by connectionYou deserve more than just a trip — you deserve a partner who makes every journey effortless and unforgettable.
Hi, I’m Dawn Makowski, founder of Throttle Travel. My own love of adventure began on the open road. Riding motorcycles gave me a sense of freedom, connection, and discovery that I’d never felt before — and it sparked something deeper: a passion for exploring new places and sharing those experiences with others. As the miles rolled on, so did the dream of helping more people find that same joy. That dream became Throttle Travel — a full-service agency built on the idea that travel, like riding, isn’t about how fast you get there, but about the experiences and memories you collect along the way. |
Of course, a love for travel isn’t enough when you’re planning other people’s bucket-list adventures. That’s why I’ve invested in professional training with The Travel Institute (Certified Travel Associate), completed ongoing supplier certifications, and dedicated myself to hands-on learning through conferences and familiarization trips. When I recommend a destination or a resort, it’s because I’ve walked those cobblestone streets, tasted the food, or sailed those waters myself — not just because I saw it in a brochure.
But Throttle Travel is more than certifications. It’s personal. I know what it feels like to juggle work, family, and community commitments while longing for time away to reconnect, celebrate, or simply breathe. That’s why I plan each trip with care, as if it were my own — so you can focus on the laughter, the sunsets, and the people by your side, while I take care of the details.
And when I’m not planning escapes? You’ll find me cheering on my granddaughter, supporting local community events, or still chasing freedom on two wheels — because adventure is what fuels me, both in life and in business.
Because for me, travel isn’t just about where you go. It’s about living fully, connecting deeply, and coming home with stories you’ll tell forever.
