Nothing makes me feel more alive, inspired, proud to be myself, and to love the world more than travel! This has been true my entire life and I believe this should be part of your life too. 

This love for me began in my youth traveling everywhere in the USA and once to Finland with my family. During the 1970s and 80s, I have fond memories flying from Pasco, WA to Iowa to visit grandparents in a bright yellow DC9 called Hughes Airwest almost every year and then driving North to Upper Michigan. I love the way planes, ships, resorts, places, people, and experiences sound, smell, and feel. I remember in my youth through college, my family always booked our trips with a travel agent at Creative Travel who would make us so incredibly excited and prepared for our trip that I have always wanted to do this myself! 

Everything has become reality for me by graduating from International Air Academy in Vancouver, WA in 2005 and later completing the training program of Travel Leaders of Tomorrow in 2019. I enjoy learning and maintaining annually my Certified Travel Associate Credential from The Travel Institute.  I love cruises so much that I am involved with CLIA Cruise Lines International Association  to make me your top choice when planning and booking cruises. I am pleased to say, that I am living my dream each and every day as a travel advisor. I am blessed to have lots of happy, dedicated, and regular clients that plan and book their vacations with me. 

I'm also an experienced and regular traveler to Mexico including Cancun/Riviera Maya, Cabo San Lucas, and Puerto Vallarta. I have also enjoyed myself in Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Sint Maarten, and Aruba in Caribbean. I consistently love ocean view rooms at Riu Resorts whenever possible because they are so awesome for me as a solo traveler and to watch the fun families and couples all enjoying themselves at these resorts. 

In July of 2015, my love for cruises was born. I went on Norwegian Pearl to Alaska from Seattle and I've been in love with it ever since. To date, I have enjoyed cruises on Celebrity, Princess, and Royal Caribbean to Caribbean and all over the Americas including Hawaii. I am a single, solo female traveler who has a strong preference for my balcony stateroom so I can watch everything the ship does at sail aways and when docking into port. Makes me so happy! 

The best part of travel for me is meeting so many people on my travels and learning about what makes them happy and unique. This makes my ears so good at hearing and understanding the unique preferences, ideas, and desires of my customers and I'm so creative at finding the right vacation for unique memories. 

Outside of traveling you'll find me painting, gardening, playing with my cat Zoe, watching Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, University of Washington Huskies, and Iowa State Cyclones football when I get the chance.
