I love to travel and sharing my experiences with others to amazing travel destination adventures. I believe in creating travel experiences for you to enjoy the unique beauty of each destination's; culture, cuisine, and people. Travel has always been a highlight in my life and I always look forward to experiencing new adventures, along with visiting places I love and feel at home in.

I have lived/worked within several destinations around the world, cruised on several different types of cruise lines and traveled to various destinations around the world - giving the insight to what fits well with my guests' personalities & travel desires. I have enjoyed African Safaris, dog sledding on an Alaskan Glacier, helicopter ride over the Hawaiian islands, traveling/touring in St. Petersburg, Russia and so many other wonderful world adventures & experiences.

I welcome sharing my travel experiences and knowledge with you. By getting to know you - I can provide you with a personal made-for-you custom travel experience. I want to make your next travel destination adventure an amazing travel experience - full of wonderful lifetime memories!

I have to say you are an amazing guide and we are so lucky to have the chance to connect with you!
Douglas C. - Paris ~ France ~ Europe
Being the Global Reservations &amp; Business Development Manager for the Waldhotel Fletschhorn Saas-Fee, Switzerland hotel, it was wonderful to receive a prompt response from a travel advisor, not to book a trip ... but Red was very responsive to my communications. So I know she is a great agent for those looking to book a vacation.
