It’s not enough to love travel to be an effective travel advisor. I am organized, informed, available, and well-connected. I bring all of this and, yes, my love of exploration, to your travel experiences. My own wide-ranging travels have taken me throughout the African Continent, the South Pacific, the Americas, and Europe, making valuable contacts and learning wherever I go.  

Whether you are drawn to high adventure or looking for a little piece of it within a more relaxing trip, an authentic beach getaway on a remote island, or my favorite, an eco-adventure in a remote corner of the globe, I will think through every detail of your travel, striving to seamlessly brings you the experience that you prioritize. I am there for you not just from the beginning until final payment, but through your travel, being there for you personally but also supporting you from a distance through my wonderful and long-standing in-country partners around the world. 

The world is constantly changing. Hotels, restaurants and tour companies rise and fall in quality. Political situations change. I work to remain informed via trade events and daily updates, research, training classes, and networking. I often tap into my contacts for updates on a destination for a client and always have someone to call on for assistance, if needed. 

Before becoming a travel agent, I did intensive research to plan a family trip to Peru. Nevertheless, I wanted to use a travel advisor who knew the area; I was realistic that traveling with my family meant I wanted safety and surety in a changing climate.  I chose someone knowledgeable about sustainability and eco-tourism as well as Peru, and she turned out to be a good match for my interests. Soon, she was planning our next trip to Fiji. 

When she realized I was thinking of a career change, she introduced me to the travel industry, training me and bringing me into her company, and we have now partnered together for years, supporting our clients, one another, and our additional office team to provide the best support for our travelers.

I'm passionate about what I do, to a fault, and committed to showing my clients the path to meaningful, perspective-changing travel.

If you are the kind of traveler who is looking for personalized itinerary planning and an expert travel adviser who takes the time to understand your wishes and to work diligently to make those wishes your reality, then I am here for you.
