About Me

With a passion for luxury travel and over 20 years of experience, I specialize in creating unforgettable travel experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Whether it’s river cruising in Europe, snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, or unwinding on the stunning beaches of Mexico’s Riviera Maya (my 29th visit!), I’ve traveled to some of the most beautiful destinations around the world. My love for food, fine accommodations, and attention to detail means that I can craft a vacation tailored specifically to your preferences.

As a self-proclaimed foodie and hotel enthusiast, I know that the right dining experiences and luxurious accommodations can elevate any trip. By carefully listening to your needs and incorporating my extensive knowledge of top destinations, I can help plan your dream vacation or destination wedding.

Most recently, I enjoyed an unforgettable girls’ trip to Paris and London, where I immersed myself in the vibrant cultures, historic landmarks, and, of course, the local cuisine. This trip solidified my belief in the magic of exploring iconic cities with loved ones, and I’m eager to help you experience something just as memorable.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to be planning a trip to Greece for the summer of 2025. From the ancient ruins to the sun-drenched beaches, Greece promises to be an incredible adventure—and I’d love to help you explore it too when you’re ready.

If you’re considering a river cruise along the Seine River in Paris or dreaming of an elegant getaway to Europe or beyond, I’d be thrilled to help plan your next vacation. Let’s make your travel dreams a reality, with a personalized touch that ensures every moment is extraordinary.
