My career in hospitality and tourism spans over 25 years, most of those as a travel advisor. I’ve also worked in the hotel industry, private jet service, and for an international university with branches in Europe and the Middle East. My love for travel began at a very young age when I took my first flight to Louisiana with my mother. I have always felt traveling to be a special privilege and a unique opportunity to learn something new about another place, or myself. My lifelong interest in world geography, and learning about different cultures, coupled with my desire to help others live their best lives through seeing the world, is what makes being a travel advisor my dream career.

My specialties:

I’ve traveled extensively (but never enough!)- including adventures through Europe, Egypt, Jordan, Mexico, Thailand, Canada, Hawaii, Central and South America and the Caribbean. Brazil is a very special country to me -with warm, friendly people, natural beauty and electric cities. Hawaii has been a long-time favorite of mine for rest and relaxation. Other memorable travels include trekking to Machu Picchu in Peru, white water rafting in Costa Rica, riding bicycles around the Netherlands and camping under the stars in Wadi Rum, Jordan. I've also traveled to Thailand where I practiced yoga, and had fun playing with my very limited cooking cooking in a Thai cooking class, and interacting with the most friendly Thai people. I am a lover of active vacations and being outdoors, and always try to incorporate some form of activity wherever I go, even if just a short run on the beach, exploring a new city by foot (or bicycle), or greeting the day with morning yoga at sunrise.

My style:

I thrive on creating customized itineraries to faraway lands as well as beach, active and wellness-oriented getaways. Each client is unique, so asking the right questions and taking the time to understand what is important to them is key to ensuring a most memorable experience.
