Want a truly unusual Italian experience? I keep a library of off-the-beaten-path excursions from Venice to Sicily, can arrange opera or soccer tickets, and have something for every taste. If you need a guide, I can arrange for my personal favorites to accompany you-from a visit to the mostly uninhabited island of Torcello, to your own private tour of Pompeii. Peruse my personal reading list to help you transition into La Dolce Vita and hone in on exactly what you'll want to see and do. With over 50 Italy vacations planned in the last year alone, I've satisfied even the most exacting request, including arranging a private bike tour of Puglia on custom-built bicycles. Follow my recommendation for an authentic slice of Tuscany and stay at an agriturismo-where travel and farm-fresh cuisine get to comingle. And no visit would be complete without a taste of the Tartufo at a particular Roman cafe I visit every time I am there.

If you've read this far, you'll think that I am all about Italy, but the truth is that I'm well prepared to assist you in middle and eastern Europe (Europe in general), and Southern Africa, as well as all of the Americas. I am very interested in European River Cruises, Jewish Heritage travel, and European History, particularly the years between the two world wars, and Plantagenet and Tudor England as well.

I'm a Virtuoso Voyages Specialist and can help you navigate all the wonderful cruise choices and Virtuoso benefits to help you select the right cruise line and the right itinerary for you.

A travel consultant since 1996, I've worked on Capitol Hill, in Bethesda, Maryland and now in Alexandria, Virginia. I specialize in designing custom vacations, honeymoons, and exotic adventures. I'm a Travel Institute Certified Travel Associate (CTA): a designation conferred upon travel professionals who complete a rigorous certification program, demonstrate essential industry knowledge and experience, and maintain high standards of professionalism. I served for several years as a Board Member of the Greater Washington Area Caribbean Tourism Organization. In addition to that volunteer service, I am also a 23 year Volunteer at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and lead tours of special exhibits there. I live in an historic home on Capitol Hill with my husband, Dan and two fabulous tuxedo cats, Spanky and Bongo.
