My Background
I believe the key to a better world lies in travel. Bias, misunderstandings, differences - they are better understood when first hand experiences are gained. The more you travel, the more your soul is healed.
This belief is the reason I switched careers from being a professional mechanical engineer to a travel advisor.
As a mom of two young kids, I have experienced many types of travel and understand the complexity they both present. Whether an adults only retreat or a family vacation, each trip is unique and I will build an itinerary to fit your needs, wishes, and desires.
I can book trips all over the world, but there are a few places I have a little more knowledge and context around including Sweden, Germany, Canada, and two of my favorites, Australia and New Zealand.
When working with clients, I like to provide the best experience possible - remembering value and price are not always the same thing - and think of myself as meticulous, earnest and excited about every possibility.
