I like to say I have two areas of expertise: crafting personalized itineraries to reflect your interests and dreams, and working with members of the LGBTQ+ community. Needless to say, I often plan vacations where these two interests overlap!
My experience in this industry goes back to the 1980s, when things were a lot simpler, but just as exciting. Whether it was doing hotel inspections for a tour company or working in crew scheduling for an airline, I loved every minute of it.
Today I specialize a few areas: Europe (a first love!); Alaska; and upscale cruising with such lines a Azamara, Cunard, Windstar and Paul Gauguin. My clients aren’t always looking for over-the-top experiences, but they tell me they love sailing on ship with personality and meeting interesting and interested fellow passengers. I also love to put together groups (as few as 10 and as many as 110, and regularly for train enthusiasts), often acting as the “Pied Piper” since so many clients tell me they don’t care where I am going next, they just know it will be a ton of fun to be a part of one of my groups!
I am a total people person, always enjoying meeting new faces and making friends. Whenever I can – even now – I love nothing more than exploring a new city or an off-the-beaten-path village, walking the streets and soaking up the vibe, sipping a pina colada on a new beach or relishing being on a cruise where we wake up to new destination every day.
If all this sounds good to you, I’d love to hear from you so we can start planning your next vacation!
