My passion for travel led to my career in the travel industry beginning in 1985 when I opened Odyssey Travel. From the very beginning it has been a pleasure working with my clients and making their travel experiences something special.

For me, travel is an opportunity to learn about the world and create connections with the people we meet. I especially remember a private visit to the Great Wall of China in the countryside. I arranged for our group to meet local people in a nearby village who escorted us up the wall. We were greeted with champagne, a gourmet lunch and rose petals strewn on the ground.

By using our resources at Virtuoso, I am able to provide the upgrades, private access and special amenities that make your travel experience one of a kind. Let me help you create those memories of a lifetime.
