I Don't Just Book Travel. I Advocate for Travelers.

There are endless websites that can sell you a hotel room, cruise cabin or vacation package.

What they can't give you is someone who gets to know you.

I want to know what you're excited about, what you're nervous about, what you've always wanted to experience and what would make you come home saying:

“That was one of the best things I've ever done.”

My job is to help you sort through the overwhelming number of choices, recommend experiences that actually fit you, coordinate all those moving pieces and be someone you can turn to throughout the process.

Because sometimes the most valuable part of working with a Travel Advisor isn't making the reservation.

It's knowing you have someone in your corner.

One of my favorite parts of being a Travel Advisor is experiencing destinations myself.

I've traveled to more than 25 countries and have experienced everything from wildlife encounters and tropical islands to European cities, cruises, jungles, deserts and some truly unforgettable adventures.

Some of my favorite travel memories include:

🐨 Meeting Australia's incredible wildlife

🤿 Exploring the Great Barrier Reef

🦭 Swimming with sea lions in Peru

🏜️ Experiencing Peru's desert landscapes and culture

🌴 Exploring Costa Rica's rainforests and wildlife

🛳️ Sailing on ocean and river cruises

🌎 Discovering destinations throughout Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America and South America

And I'm nowhere near finished.

The world is a really big place — and my list keeps getting longer.

Travel should be more than choosing a destination and booking a room. It should reflect what excites you, what matters to you, and how you want to experience the world.

Whether you’re dreaming of Australia, a wildlife adventure, a river cruise through Europe, a small-ship journey, or a meaningful bucket-list trip, I’ll help you sort through the options and find the experience that fits you.

Australia & South Pacific
Australia has been one of my greatest travel passions for years. From wildlife encounters and the Great Barrier Reef to New Zealand, Fiji, and the islands of the South Pacific, I help travelers experience this part of the world in a way that goes far beyond a basic itinerary.

Wildlife & Adventure Travel
For travelers who want the experience to be the reason for the trip. Think African safaris, Costa Rica, the Galápagos, Alaska, Antarctica, remote landscapes, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

River Cruising
Unpack once and experience Europe from a completely different perspective. I help clients compare rivers, cruise lines, itineraries, cabin options, inclusions, and the small details that can make a big difference.

Ocean, Luxury & Small-Ship Cruising
From resort-style ships to luxury yachts, destination-focused cruises, and expedition vessels, there is no single “best” cruise line. I help match the ship and itinerary to the way you actually want to travel.

Europe Your Way
Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Norway, Croatia and beyond. Whether you prefer a custom independent itinerary, guided vacation, rail journey, or cruise, I can help build a trip around the places and experiences that matter most to you.

Bucket-List & Celebration Travel
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons, retirement trips, family adventures, and those destinations you’ve been saying “someday” about for years. These are the trips worth planning thoughtfully.

Not sure where to begin?

You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Tell me what you want the trip to feel like, who you’re traveling with, what matters most, and your approximate budget. I’ll help you narrow down the possibilities and create a plan that makes sense for you.

Because planning an incredible trip involves more than clicking BOOK NOW.

When you work with me, you get:

✈️ Personalized Recommendations
Your vacation should fit you — not someone else's Top 10 list.

🌎 Firsthand Travel Knowledge
I travel, explore, learn and build relationships throughout the industry so I can better advise my clients.

🧭 Guidance Through the Choices
Hotels, cruise ships, tours, transfers, excursions, destinations — I'll help you determine what actually makes sense.

📋 The Details Handled
There are a lot of moving pieces behind a great vacation. I'll help keep them organized.

🤝 A Travel Advocate
Questions before you travel? I'm here. Something happens while you're traveling? You have someone to contact.

💡 Ideas You May Never Have Considered
Sometimes my favorite part of the job is hearing what a client wants and saying:

“Okay…have you thought about THIS?”

I don't believe every traveler needs the same vacation.

Some people want five-star hotels.

Some want to wake up at 5:00 AM for a safari.

Some want to snorkel with sea turtles.

Some want incredible food.

Some want history.

Some want adventure.

And some want to sit on a balcony with a cocktail and have absolutely nowhere they need to be.

There's no wrong way to travel.

There is simply the trip that's right for you.

You don't need to have everything figured out.

You don't even have to know exactly where you want to go.

Tell me what you're imagining, what matters to you and what kind of experience you want to have.

We'll figure out the rest together.
