Polynesia, Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii & Cruises

I have been in the travel industry for many years and enjoy helping others experience what our world has to offer.  Travel is about immersing yourself in the destination.

As a travel specialist I love to travel in order to see history, try different foods, learn about different cultures and try activities that are in the area. I enjoy sharing my experiences with others in order to help them experience great locations for themselves. I also enjoy having folks travel with  me in groups.

I have traveled extensively in the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaiian Islands, South America and Europe.  I led a Girl Scout Troop to Costa Rica on an educational adventure. I helped lead a school group to many areas in Italy.  I have also traveled to many states within the USA.  I have cruised to Alaska, the Caribbean, Hawaii Islands, and Cuba. I have also done some extensive travel to the French Polynesian Islands such as Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, etc.

Travel is my passion!  When I have free time I spend my time traveling and exploring the world.

I can assist with all facets of your trip, in turn, providing you with the greatest travel experience imaginable. Traveling is all about getting out and experiencing what the destinations offer.  My recommendation is to focus on the experience to ensure wonderful memories!

I am experienced with family vacations, group travel, destination weddings, romantic getaways, guided vacations and ocean/river cruising.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Hawaii

Hanauma Bay

Hawaii

<p>The Hawaiian Islands can be visited individually, paired together or via ship.  You can visit 4 of the islands and get a more all inclusive experience by sailing the Norwegian's Pride of America.  It is the only cruise line that specifically sails the Hawaiian islands. I traveled this way and it was the best way to see all 4 islands plus sail by the Napali coast line.</p>
<p>Oahu is known for Hawaii's diverse population.  It is the third largest Hawaiian island. You can experience Pearl Harbor, Waikiki Beach, Polynesia Center on the north shore, and much more.</p>
<p>Maui is known for its beaches, the views of the humpback whales during the winter, the sunset and sunrise of Haleakala, and don't forget the farm-to-table cuisine.</p>
<p>Kauai is known as the "Garden Island." It is the oldest island with emerald valleys and jagged cliffs.</p>
<p>Hawaii is the youngest island and largest known as the "Big Island." You can enjoy the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, beaches and much more.</p>
<p>Let me help you with your vacation to one of these beautiful islands or all of them.</p>

We absolutely loved the resort. The employees all knew some English. And they understood perfectly. We made so many server friends that they would give us the low down on all the activities & happenings. Walking on the beach was beautiful and not like any other beach in the world ( breath taking ) <br/>Whale watching was fun & relaxing. <br/>I’m so glad I was a part of this group. I enjoyed the time. I didn’t wanna leave .<br/>Thank you Tina.

Tina is amazing! She booked us an incredible trip and had it entirely organized. There was minimal stress especially since she was always a phone call away to assist us with our travel needs. We are looking forward to planning our next trip with her in the future!
Dallas - Hawaii ~ USA
Thank you so much for your help and patience with us. Secrets Resort in Cabo was awesome. The travel packets you put together for us came in handy. We had not traveled in such a long time, we were new to doing everything on our phones! Secrets staff were great. Loved the swim-out pool and all the pools the resort provided. the Swing bar was a lot of fun. Drinks and food just kept coming! Resort had a lot of great activities. We all want to go back. We will definitely reach out again.<br/><br/>Thank you again.
