Cruise & Escorted Group Travel Expert with 25+ years of experience.
As a seasoned travel advisor with over 25 years of experience, I am proud to say that I’ve decided that the great outdoors is what I am truly drawn to. From expedition cruising to walking tours of the cobblestoned streets of Europe, I love getting off the beaten path. And I like nothing more than a challenge – like the client who came to me for help planning a trip comprising a trans-Pacific cruise with stays in Australia, New Zealand, Asia from south to north, and an Alaskan cruise! The trip went off without a hitch and the family continue to rely on me for their travel arrangements.
My personal travel experiences range from South Africa to a European river cruise, Costa Rica to Alaska. Lots of Alaska as I used to work for a small ship which went into the smaller ports of call. Bliss!
My clients would say I am thorough, detail-oriented, efficient. And I like to say, “Tell me what you want and I can improve it.” I look forward to hearing from you and working to create your next memorable vacation
