Solo & All-Inclusive Group Travel Specialist

I love to explore and learn about other cultures, and I find great enjoyment in being immersed in a location that’s not my own. I am always on the go and seeking out new destinations. I visit Las Vegas at least three times per year, and generally visit two countries per year. I became a travel advisor to help others see and do more.

I live in Louisville, Kentucky, but I grew up in a beach town, so most of the locations I love to book are surrounded by water and nature. I especially love to book trips to Latin America and Caribbean countries. I am an explorer of the world, and have been to fourteen countries including: Barcelona, Canada, England, France, Netherlands, Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, the Bahamas, and the US Virgin Islands or USVI. My experience has allowed me to become an expert in each destination. I have even been to the Bahamas over 10 times by cruise and air. I am passionate about these destinations because I am an avid foodie, and I love their culture and cuisine. I also love that most of these destinations generally have amazing weather year-round!

As a travel advisor, I aspire to help create adventures that provide memorable moments for my clients. I am not satisfied until we craft the destination and itinerary that you can’t wait to embark on. I love helping a wide range of travelers including solo travelers, first-time travelers, millennial travelers seeking active and adventurous experiences, budget-savvy travelers, and those looking for adult-only all-inclusive cruises and resorts.

To better serve my clients, I am continuously participating in destination and supplier educational courses and webinars to stay informed on the industry. I am proud to be a Certified Travel Advisor (CTA) with the Travel Institute and a Certified Cruise Counselor (CCC) from the Cruise Line Industry Association or CLIA. 

As an avid traveler myself, I can recommend several places of interest since I have personally visited them. I also have established relationships in the area with suppliers and tour operators. One year for my birthday, I took 8 friends to St Thomas USVI. Many of them have never left the US mainland nor did they know they did not need a passport to visit the island. Some of them also did not know about flexible payment methods available when you work with an advisor. They appreciated knowing someone knowledgeable was planning the trip every step of the way. I was proud to be able to break down some barriers and myths they had about traveling!

I love helping my clients prepare for the unexpected. Once, I had a client purchase travel insurance and optional baggage protection through me for an international trip. Somehow, their luggage was lost along the way. Once informed, I reached out to my supplier, started the claim on behalf of the client and calmed them down, knowing that updates would be received periodically. They were assured that someone else was handling the issue, so it took pressure away from them, and allowed them to spend their time more freely. They appreciated me handling it, and I was happy that I was able to reunite them with their bags, and even took care of coordinating drop-off to the hotel with the airline.

When I’m not traveling or helping clients plan their dream vacations, I love to run and I participate in five 5Ks a year. I also love concerts, festivals, live events, amusement parks and volunteering for several nonprofit organizations in my community.

Mexico Travel Expert

Mexico Travel Expert

<p>Over the years, I've loved traveling to Mexico, exploring its various corners and soaking in its unique flavors. In 2019, I set sail to Cozumel, a tropical paradise in the Caribbean, and in 2021, I cruised to Ensenada from Long Beach, relishing the coastal beauty and the cultural richness that unfolded before my eyes. With over a decade of experience in the travel industry, I’m your go-to expert for all things Mexico. Let me take you on a journey through my love affair with this vibrant and diverse country. </p>
<p>My Mexican adventure began in 2007 when I decided to celebrate my birthday in the heart of Mexico City. It was love at first sight as the lively streets, rich history, and warm hospitality captured my heart. One of the highlights of that trip was my visit to Six Flags Mexico City, where I explored the park with my existing seasonal pass, setting the stage for many more Mexican adventures to come. </p>
<p>Cancun has become a familiar playground for me, having visited both by land and sea multiple times, and I love booking clients on trip to this beautiful destination. The ease of access from major US airports makes it a seamless experience, and the warm weather and luscious beaches will keep you coming back for more.  </p>
<p>Foodies will feel right at home exploring the local cuisine, indulging in delicious tacos, enchiladas, and burritos. For the adventurous at heart, hop on ATVs and through the treetops on exhilarating zip-lining excursions, and immerse yourself in the world of tequila with tasting tours that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for Mexico's iconic spirit</p>
<p>I love recommending one of Mexico’s many all-inclusive resorts to my clients. In 2022, I had the pleasure of staying at the Hilton Playa del Carmen, an all-inclusive adults-only resort that epitomizes luxury and relaxation. The experience was nothing short of enchanting, with the turquoise waters of the Caribbean as my backdrop and the finest amenities at my fingertips. I want you to have an experience just as life changing.  </p>
<p>Mexico is amazing not only for its beautiful beaches but because of its rich cultural tapestry. The proximity to the US and the ease of flights to popular destinations make it a top choice for travelers seeking a perfect blend of convenience and exotic charm. </p>
<p>As your dedicated Mexico travel expert, I am here to curate the perfect itinerary for you, whether you crave the excitement of adventure sports, the serenity of beachfront retreats, or the flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine. Let's turn your travel dreams into unforgettable memories! ¡Vámonos!</p>

Working with Anthony was phenomenal, he was able to put together a trip that was what I needed. Despite the last minute Destination change from the cruise line, working with Anthony was great. He insured that I will still enjoy my time, which I did. I enjoyed the ship very much. I wasn’t too keen on the cold destinations but it was nice to visit.

I called Anthony and asked him to get me a room at a hotel in Daytona Beach, Florida for the first weekend in June. It was my 50th high school reunion. He sent me several options. I chose the Marriott.
