About me
From a very young age, I have been traveling with my family and always have loved to travel. In fact, my first international trip was as a toddler on a transatlantic flight to Turkey with my parents. I clearly caught the travel bug during that fateful journey, as I since have visited 40 countries (and counting!), as well as 46 states (including Alaska and Hawaii), and have been on countless cruises. I am a huge Disney enthusiast (Minnie forever!). Cruises, luxury travel, and family vacations are among some of my favorite things (in addition to coffee, wine, and chocolate). I also love to blog about my travels and am a bit of a photog (check out fotogenictravel.com for the latest on those fronts). Whether I’m staying in a fine hotel or chatting with a call center agent on the phone, the experience of superb customer service absolutely delights me. In addition, I am passionate about details and know how to read the fine print (proven by my law degree). Superior service and attention to detail is what sets me apart as a travel advisor. I elevate your travel planning experience through a premier level of service. I handle every detail on your behalf and save you from all the hassles that a person typically experiences when planning a vacation. For example, you no longer have to spend days or even weeks investigating itineraries: I will do all that research for you, or I already may have a perfect vetted and customizable itinerary available. What about those confusing cancellation and refund policies? I am here to translate and advise on booking terms, putting your mind at ease. There's no need to wait to actually travel to begin relaxing. From the moment we first interact, I will alleviate any planning stress and will design the perfect getaway, serving as your quintessential wanderlust resource all along the way.

Why I love my job
I relish in the details of planning a trip and love it when I can help my clients create memories with their families.
Favorite Destinations
Too many to count, but Italy, the Canadian Rockies, Hawaii, and Alaska are definitely at the top of my list! Every destination has its own unique vibe, and I never have been to a place that I have disliked. I truly love to explore and enjoy every aspect of a new place and culture.
About my most memorable vacation
I have been so lucky to have had a plethora of travel memories, as I have been traveling my entire life. From visiting the beautiful ruins of Pergamon and Ephesus in Turkey to watching a glacier calve into the water in Alaska, I could go on and on about all the fantastic places I have visited!

Gunes was so patient with me! We planned one vacation over a year in advance, then changed the dates, then cancelled and rebooked a different vacation. She was fabulous in making sure we knew all our options and helped every step of the way. I can_`t thank her enough for a brilliant vacation.
