About me
I'm a management & planning expert that is very passionate about how authentic travel changes perspectives & lives.
Why I love my job
We learn so much when we travel if we open ourselves to new experiences. My goal is to help people realize their dreams and also get beyond just seeing the sights to have authentic experiences that will last them a lifetime.
Favorite Destinations
I have traveled to France often. Just like the US there is so much there to discover-- from Monet's gardens at Giverny, the Loire Valley castles and Vineyards, and the Roman footprint in Lyon to of course the beauty and vibrancy of Paris where I lived and studied.
About my most memorable vacation
We just got back from Egypt and it was the most unique travel experience I have ever had. We didn't just see the Pyramids, which are taken alone astonishing. We did yoga while sailing in a felucca on the Nile, we watched the sunrise over the Valley of the Queens in Luxor, we dined with an Egyptian family and played with the village children. We rode donkeys and camels and got real citizen's opinions on politics, economics, love, ambition and community. Even now I am processing the impact of this trip on my life.
