I strive to serve my clients by listening to your travel vision and incorporating the details that will create a vacation worthy of anticipation, so that you can travel with confidence, relishing the experiences and forging memories you’ll savor for a lifetime.
I believe travel can be a part of that abundant life, which includes exploring, discovering, caring for, and enjoying God’s beautiful creation we call Earth.
My desire to be a travel advisor was born from my love of seeing the world with the people I love. It is my pleasure to make other people’s travel dreams come true. Travel is about discovering nature, art, history, food and culture; developing and celebrating relationships with those you already know and love, and making new connections as well.
Take a look at some of the customized vacations that I've planned for others.

My top recommendation for honeymooners is a tropical all-Inclusive resort in order to budget wisely and relax fully! However, if Europe is calling, I'll plan the details to balance adventure, down-time and romance.
Dreaming of traveling "abroad"? But need some help with logistics? Where is a safe place to stay? How do I get from point A to point B? Do you know a good private tour guide in Italy?
This destination is on nearly everyone's bucket list, but there are lots of decisions to make before you go...cruise? land only? both? It's a large beautiful state that deserves attention to detail!
The most popular European rivers are the Danube, Rhine and Seine, but the Duoro of Portugal, Christmas markets, Tulip Time and the Pyramids along the Nile are also worthy destinations.
If you are looking to take a walk on the wild side without sacrificing luxury, Costa Rica has a beautiful coastline and an adventure-filled inland with tropical rainforests, volcanos and wildlife.
Should you visit by land or sea? Some of both? Which islands? How to island hop? Where to stay? What are the "don't miss" activities on each island? Click below to see one of my personal favorite vacations...

...and also terrific kindness and a desire to bless our marriage and not just our honeymoon. Couldn’t have asked for a better agent!
She was extremely helpful in finding a perfect destination/resort for us, telling us exactly what we needed to have for our travel, and even answered the phone at 4 am...She is so caring and helpful and we couldn’t have done it without her!! Will definitely ask her for assistance with any future travel :)
She checked in on us through the week making sure things were going smoothly and helped us in the late hours of the night rebook our last minute canceled flights.
Attentive, responsive, with great attention to detail. I will definitely use her when planning our next trip!
...She took care of all the small and big details so that we could enjoy our trip. The folder that she put together with all of our vouchers was so very helpful.
