I have been a travel advisor since 1985 and fortunate to work with many of the same amazing people since 1992. I enjoy assisting both my leisure and corporate clients.
I am always looking to expand my knowledge through travel and education. I've studied to receive specialist training in many destinations including South Africa, Disney, Hawaii, Peru, Italy, and river cruising to name a few. I love to share what I've learned but also to get feedback from other travelers. We all love different things so it always fun to hear what made a trip special to someone else.
The travel bug has taken me many places, some of my favorites are South Africa, Kenya, Ireland, Italy and Brussels and of course coming from Wisconsin you can't beat a beach getaway to Mexico or the Carribean! My wanderlist is getting longer every year but I'm always up for the adventure. I've had the opportunity to travel independently, with groups, by ocean or river cruise and I know there is something for everyone, the joy is finding just the right thing to make many happy memories.
Near or far, short or long, alone or with all the family - every stop on your wanderlist is special and important to YOU. Bringing the travel journey to life together, helping you experience new destinations, cultures and expand your world view is what I love most about what I do. I'm a lucky girl!!
