Experienced Living in Italy

I have been in the Travel industry for more than 30 years with experience in many different facets. I began as a tour group leader and then graduated to Tour Manager. During my time exploring the world, I started planning the trips which eventually led me to getting certified as an Agent. I truly believe in the motto "Explore, Journey, Discover, Adventure". Making your heart want to return. Everyday is different. Every trip is different. I am well travelled and I use my experience to create those extra special memorable vacations. Don't Be a Tourist -- Be a Traveler.

<p>  Travel Industry Veteran | Agency Owner | Cultural Enthusiast</p>
<p>With over 30 years of experience in the travel industry, I have dedicated my life to exploring the world and sharing its wonders with others. Starting as a travel coordinator, my career has taken me through roles as a group captain, group leader, tour manager, tour director, travel planner, and travel advisor, ultimately leading me to become a proud travel agency owner.My journey has been defined by an insatiable curiosity and a deep appreciation for the diversity of our world. I have traveled extensively, living and working in various countries, including seven transformative years in Italy. My adventures have taken me on a true African safari, up the ancient steps of the Great Wall of China, soaring in a hot air balloon over the Serengeti, breathing in the fresh air around the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, and spending an unforgettable month in Tunisia.These experiences have not only enriched my life but have also fueled my passion for helping others discover the magic of travel. I believe that travel is more than just visiting new places; it's about connecting with people, embracing different cultures, and creating memories that last a lifetime.Whether it's planning a dream vacation, organizing a group tour, or simply sharing travel tips and stories, I am committed to guiding others on their own journeys of discovery. I am proud to have been recognized with the Gateway to Excellence award for my outstanding achievement in Nexion preferred supplier sales and continue to strive for excellence in every aspect of my work.Let’s embark on your next adventure together!</p>
