I have been a travel advisor for more than 10 years and an active traveler for much, much longer.  As a lover of history, there are no destinations that I don't have some appreciation for but I especially love the way that European river cruises drop you right into the center of history and help you understand how wars and migrations have molded the cultures of each country you visit.  I've luxuriated on wonderful cruise ships or at elegant resorts but I've also hiked some of the beautiful National Parks here in the U.S. and camped for days in a two person tent.  I've been close to glaciers, crawled through caves and seen whales, dolphins and desert bighorn sheep.  We live in such a great and beautiful world and I absolutely love introducing my clients to new destinations, foods, cultures and people. As a Certified Sommelier, I can also help you find new wine regions to explore and appreciate.

Let me help you discover our world.  Everyone needs to travel as often as they can for as long as they can.  Otherwise, you'll look back one day and wish you had.

We are also U.S. veteran owned and operated and we delight in taking great care of our fellow veterans and first responders!

<p>After 10 years in the Air Force, I became an avid traveler. Much of my travel experience was encouraged by my interest in history and anthropology. Cultures, foods, wines, history of other countries have always fascinated me. Being a travel advisor allows me to introduce others to the many wonders of our planet. My reward is having clients return from a trip and say, "I never knew...." and hearing the excitement in their voices over things they learned while traveling. You're never too old to learn or too old to experience the wonder of new places. When you call me, I will probably ask you many questions in order to learn your interests so I can match you to a memorable experience. I've heard it said many times and I truly believe that "Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer".</p>
