Travel isn’t about escaping life—it’s about making sure life doesn’t escape us.

I’m an independent travel planner with Imagine Cruise & Travel, known for my practical approach, honest advice, and deep love of being out in the world.

I don’t just plan trips—I travel. My recent journeys have taken me through Europe, the Mediterranean, Mexico, Vietnam, Thailand, and Africa, experiencing destinations by land and sea. From wandering historic cities and enjoying memorable food and wine to sailing on ocean and river cruises, my recommendations are grounded in firsthand experience—not marketing promises or guesswork.

That real-world insight allows me to focus on the details that matter most and shape trips around what my clients truly enjoy, ensuring each experience feels right in real life.

Three years into the travel business, I’ve built a loyal base of repeat clients who trust me to simplify the process, think ahead, and keep things running smoothly from start to finish. I’m especially valued for my calm problem-solving style, clear communication, and ability to make travel planning feel manageable—even enjoyable.

My specialties include river and ocean cruising, solo travel for women, small group adventures, active and adventure-focused trips, and sun-and-beach getaways. I work with a trusted network of tour operators and cruise partners, including G Adventures, Intrepid, Collette, Globus, AmaWaterways, Avalon Waterways, Azamara, Oceania, Princess, Holland America, and other leading small-ship and experiential travel brands.

To me, travel is about discovery, connection, and moments that stay with you long after you return home.

Real adventures. Smart planning. Stress-free travel. That’s what I do best.
