Ahoy!

World wide travel has provided me with first hand knowledge of some of the most incredible destinations and their little known gems that you must try!

While sailing the beautiful turquoise Caribbean, cool drink in hand, I helped catch our fish of the day on an 8 person catamaran. It was prepared fresh as a tuna sashimi appetizer. These bi-annual sailing trips started my adventure.  Little did I know where it would lead me. 

After a long day of meandering the cobble-stone streets in hidden Italian towns I'd stumble into a new cafe' filled with locals smiling and sharing stories. The freshness of the seafood and pasta dish passed down for generations are not to be missed.

Ah, but it was a cool creamy Limoncello on the mountainous Isle of Capri that caused me to want to permanently be on vacation. There is nothing quite like being immersed in the culture, sightseeing, and learning about favorite spices from the local chefs firsthand. From tequila tasting in Mexico, meeting local fishermen in New Zealand, sailing the warm waters of the Caribbean, devouring the freshest seafood in Santorini, and learning to cook in Thailand, to wherever our future culinary adventures take us... won't you join us on our next great feast?

These are just a few of the many memories I've made over the years. Merging my passions for travel and cooking, I created Culinary Latitudes Travel while working at a CPA firm during my short stay in south Florida. An agency focused on crafting explorations for the enthusiastic traveler and the "foodies" at heart.

My "white glove service" allows you to take a break from hours of travel research. I guarantee my value and rates on trips to all seven continents of the planet!  Our group trips are where you'll find some of the best opportunities to save money.  

Outside of work, and besides traveling, I enjoy music, hiking, and trying new dishes. I raised two beautiful children in Louisville, Colorado where fresh air and beautiful mountains offer amazing scenery and opportunities to hike with our doodles. My husband and I have a blended family with 6 adult children and 7 grandchildren.  

I'd enjoy making your travel dream come true.  Please reach out to [email protected] or call 303-919-8727.  

Travel with taste,

Rhonda

Rhonda has been great! We've been able to get in contact any time and she has been able to not only find comparable prices but also provide cash back or credit perks on top of the lowest prices!
Brandon - Jamaica ~ Caribbean
It was our very first cruise she made the process so easy and guided us through what we needed to do. She was always a phone call or text away from answering any concerns we had.
First timers - Caribbean
Rhonda was attentive, honest, and made sure we got the staterooms we wanted and the best pricing available! She even sent additional information that helped us feel like this was really the trip for us. It's a pleasure to work with Rhonda!
Julie - Tahiti ~ French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
