About Me

"Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life." – Michael Palin

Growing up as the daughter of an airline employee, I caught the travel bug early—and it has never let go. My passion for exploring the world led me to a career in the travel industry, which began in 1997. With decades of hands-on experience, I’m dedicated to helping others plan unforgettable, personalized travel experiences that go far beyond the ordinary.

Over the years, my journeys have taken me across the globe—from close-to-home escapes in Mexico, Hawaii, Canada, and the Caribbean to far-flung adventures in Thailand, Hong Kong, French Polynesia, and South America. As a cruise specialist, I’ve sailed on some of the world’s most luxurious cruise lines including Silversea, Regent, and Crystal, as well as explored Europe’s rich history and charm through river cruising.

More recently, my passion has shifted to expedition travel. One of my all-time favorite trips was to the Galapagos Islands, with Machu Picchu, Peru coming in as a close second. I’ve explored iconic destinations across Europe—England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Greece, the Netherlands, Belgium, Turkey, Montenegro, and Croatia—and embarked on unforgettable adventures like zip-lining through rainforests, riding elephants in Thailand, cruising the Amazon, and camel trekking across the deserts of East Africa.

Skiing is another love of mine, and I’ve hit the slopes in Canada, Utah, New Mexico, Lake Tahoe, Wyoming, and throughout Colorado.

But the most transformative journeys I’ve taken have been to East and South Africa. Staying in both tented camps and luxury lodges, I experienced the raw beauty and soul-stirring magic of the African wilderness. It’s a trip I recommend to anyone seeking a truly life-changing experience—it will forever change how you see the world.

Whether you're dreaming of a relaxing escape, a cultural deep dive, or an epic adventure, I’m here to help turn your travel dreams into reality.
