Independent Travel Advisor - Direct Travel Mequon
800-874-2358

My love for travel began at a very early age traversing the National Park system-experiencing Old Faithful erupt for the first time and I was sold. At that moment I knew there was a big world out there and I wanted to see as much of it as I possibly could. 

I am honored to be entrusted with my client's travel dreams and love making them come true- like gorilla trekking in Rwanda, a five star Grand Tour of Europe or glamping in Morocco. I enjoy curating a memorable experience that will stay with my clients forever.

I have many multigenerational clients and adore working with the different age groups to create the perfect balance. I have designed many successful trips including cruising the Galapagos, scouting polar bears in the Artic and booking extended family members to explore their roots in Ireland. 

I'm an Aussie Specialist and I am wowed by the diversity of the continent as well as the wildlife that is endemic to the nation. It's so important to map out a trip to Australia so you can expereince as much of the sprawling country as possible. 

My clients have described me as enthusiastic, professional and knowledgeable. I would welcome working on your trip in the future.
