I love to say that challenge, experience and creativity play a large part of designing a successful vacation.
With over 30 years as a travel advisor, I have always enjoyed arranging custom tours and have loved creating countless personalized itineraries (my clients trust me to help complete their bucket lists!) Some clients prefer to travel independently, some prefer a car and driver, others opt for a private villa while many enjoy the variety of cruise options – including river cruises – that I can arrange for them.
Interesting itineraries I have worked on include a wonderful four-part itinerary in Europe (combining a Mediterranean cruise, a private guided tour in Spain and a river cruise followed by a stay in Amsterdam). Another was a customized tour of India with private car and driver incorporating the historic city of Varanasi, a tiger viewing safari, the Taj Mahal and magical Jaipur and Udaipur.
I am proud to say that I have built a solid relationship with many luxury hotels, cruise lines and tour companies over the years and can provide valuable insights and tips on them. My clients especially enjoy many of the finest companies in the world including cruise lines such as Silversea, Seabourn, Regent and National Geographic Expeditions and tour companies Abercrombie & Kent and Tauck, most of which I have experienced personally.
I love this business because no two days are ever the same and I thrive on that! I will be here for you before, during and after your vacation. I look forward to working with you!
