“I have been a leisure travel agent for over 25 years. My passion for travel and learning about other countries and cultures began at an early age. In high school, I was an exchange student in Finland, and later I spent my junior year of college in Sweden. During that year I was able to travel extensively throughout Europe. That is when my love of travel really blossomed. I have continued to travel over the years, and I have visited close to 40 different countries. My husband and I went to New Zealand and Tahiti on our honeymoon, and we have cruised and traveled internationally with our two children. In my years as a travel agent, I have worked with tour companies and other vendors in the United States and around the world. I have experience planning it all. From honeymoons and group cruises to customized European trips and weekend getaways. While I am experienced in planning all of these types of trips, I have an additional specialization in planning travel to Australia and New Zealand. I love helping clients cross off their bucket list destinations. My many past clients speak with praise and satisfaction for the cherished memories we helped to create on the vacation trips we planned together. I listen to my clients to turn their travel dreams into reality. Also, if you want to travel but are not sure where to go, I can help you figure out the best destination for you.”

"An adventurer and budget traveler in my youth I have aged into the belief that after 45 years, I am worth hassle free travel, and so are my clients.

To that end I concentrate on doing everything in my power to insure that your trip is all that you want it to be and more. I am a people pleaser. Research, keeping current, and knowing where to turn for good advice are ingrained.

 My parents were in the hotel business, and so was I from the age of 2, so experience was my firsthand teacher, since then I have been fortunate enough to continue my education to all 7 continents experiencing almost every type of travel from camps to castles.

That fills me with some magnificent memories, and I would like to help you find and cherish yours.

 Some of my favorite memories include Machu Pichu, Mont St. Michele, Nairobi, The Nile and the Valley of the Kings, Bali, Capri, the Falkland Islands, Biarritz, the Louvre, The Hermitage, leisurely river cruises, Club Med, Windstar, and joining family and friends on the big ships."
