I savor travel, seek out adventure and believe that experiences are much more valuable than things. Specifically, travel experiences with our loved ones are the BEST way to live life to the fullest! In 2019, I decided to act on this passion when my husband and I sold our home and cars, purged things we didn’t need, stored the few remaining things that brought us joy and departed with one suitcase each for a one year journey around the world with our two sons, ages 7 and 9.

It was a trip of a lifetime that took my family to five continents, twenty countries and hundreds of new destinations, exposing our children to new cultures, ways of life, world history, social lessons and incredible experiences all along the way. My favorite places include: the Atacama Desert of Chile, Fox Glacier in New Zealand, the Karst mountains of Vietnam and the Algarve beaches of Portugal.

Not only was our world journey life-changing for me personally, it has been remarkable for me professionally, as a travel advisor. I can offer a unique perspective to my clients with my first-hand experiences in destinations all across the world.

My goal is to leverage this expertise, make insightful recommendations and work with my clients to embrace new adventures, indulge in immersive experiences, and inspire them to explore beyond the typical tourist haunts. Each trip I design for my clients is one-of-a-kind and I feel fortunate I get to spend my days dreaming about travel on behalf of my clients and help them create special memories with their loved ones -- I truly love what I do!
