Agent Specializing in Cruises & Beach Vacays

As a lifelong travel enthusiast, I’ve always found joy in discovering new places, cultures, and experiences. After proudly serving in the United States Air Force for 25 years, I knew it was time to begin a new chapter—one where I could channel my passion into purpose. That’s when I made the decision to launch my own travel business.

Although still new to the travel industry professionally after one year, I bring decades of leadership, discipline, and attention to detail with me—qualities that were honed during my military career and now fuel my commitment to excellence in travel planning. I believe that every journey should be meaningful, well-organized, and tailored to your unique interests.

Whether you're dreaming of a relaxing beach getaway, an adventurous expedition, or a cultural city escape, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. I prioritize transparency, outstanding customer service, and thoughtful planning, so all you have to do is enjoy the experience.Let’s work together to create a trip you’ll never forget—because you deserve more than just a vacation. You deserve a journey that inspires.

French Polynesia Pro

<p>Your French Polynesia Travel Bestie??</p>
<p>Ready to live your best island life? Whether you're dreaming of floating in an overwater bungalow, hopping from island to island, or cruising the South Pacific in barefoot luxury—I’ve got you covered.I specialize in planning unforgettable, sun-soaked adventures to French Polynesia, and yes—I’ve done it myself (and didn’t want to leave). From the moment your plane touches down in Papeete to the last dreamy sunset in Bora Bora, I’ll make sure everything runs smoother than a fresh piña colada.Here’s what I bring to your tropical table:</p>
<p>??? Windstar’s Star Breeze Cruise MagicThink luxury yacht vibes without the pretentious crowd. I plan Windstar Star Breeze sailings that feel like your own private floating island. Small ship, big adventure—plus amazing food, quiet beaches, and island ports the big ships can’t reach. I handle the pre-cruise hotels, post-cruise transfers, and all the “what-do-I-pack?” questions in between.</p>
<p>??? Hilton Overwater Bungalows = Main Character EnergyWant to wake up with stingrays swimming under your floor? I’ll book you in the famous Hilton Moorea or other stunning resorts with those dreamy overwater villas. Perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, or just escaping reality with a cocktail and a view you’ll never forget.</p>
<p>?? E-Bike Tours & Sunset Cruises -This isn’t just a beach trip—it’s an experience. Cruise the coast on an e-bike, float through a lagoon at sunset, snorkel with reef sharks, or take a guided cultural tour through local villages. I work with amazing local guides so you can experience real Polynesian magic—not just the touristy stuff.</p>
<p>?? Transfers? Handled.Planes, ferries, water taxis—oh my! Don’t stress the details. I book all your island-hopping transportation so your only job is to decide what bathing suit to wear. From airport pickups with flower leis to private transfers between islands, I make sure everything is smooth, reliable, and vacation-approved.</p>
<p>?? The Real DealThis isn’t just another spot on the map. I’ve experienced French Polynesia firsthand—so I know which resorts are worth it, the best times to travel, and where to find the most Instagram-worthy (and actually peaceful) beaches. I’ll help you avoid the common mistakes and get straight to the good stuff.</p>
<p>Whether you’re planning a bucket-list honeymoon, a “treat yo’self” birthday trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with your favorite people, I’ll turn your tropical daydreams into reality—with zero stress and a whole lot of fun.Let’s plan your escape to paradise.</p>
<p>????French Polynesia is calling… and trust me, you’ll want to answer.</p>

I wanted to take a moment to share a HUGE thank you to Amanda for planning what can only be described as the perfect girls trip to Italy! From start to finish, every detail was flawless—from the VRBO's, hotels, and charming local experiences, to the wine tasting @ De Ricci in Montepulciano, guided tour to the Vatican in Rome, to the absolute breathtaking charter boat tour along the Amalfi coast, and those once-in-a-lifetime moments that we’ll be talking about for years!!! You truly listened to what we were hoping for and somehow made it even better than we imagined! Every day brought something new and exciting, and yet everything flowed so smoothly. We never had to worry about transportation, tickets, or logistics—just soak in the beauty, the food, and the laughs with each other. You made this dream trip not only possible, but unforgettable. I’ve already recommended you to several friends, and I’ll absolutely be reaching out again for the next adventure! With sincere gratitude, Ki

Wow! The views were breathtaking! Three days on the restful island of Morrea. Amanda recommended e-bike rentals to see the island and a sunset boat cruise around the island. We found some great local restaurants Ruby’s is a must! Then headed to our cruise on the Star Breeze with Windstar! This was top notch! Most travel was a night while we slept. Staff was amazing! The food aboard was out of this world! The excursions were like being on another plant! We snorkeled for our own pearls, swam with black tip reef sharks, swam with sting rays, saw Nemo and Dori in their own habitat! Then on the ship lots to do, gym, shows, pool, whirlpool etc! This was a must do adventure! Take your spouse and some friends, then go see what life is about!
