I do all the work so all you have to do is enjoy your vacation.
About me
I have been fascinated with travel ever since my 6th grade social studies teacher gave us a budget and told us to plan an international trip with it. I planned Peru and Easter Island and have been hooked ever since then.

I became a travel agent in 2007 after a brief career as a lobbyist. As a mom with young children, I started out focusing on travel with kids. I now have expanded to all forms of family - families with children, honeymooners, multi-generational travel, romantic travel, LGBTQ and more.

Professional development is important to me and I am always striving to expand my knowledge. In addition to my certifications and specializations, I am a Certified Autism Travel Professional and a Certified Accessible Travel Advocate. No one should ever let special needs prevent them from traveling.
Why I love my job
I love being able to introduce people to the world.
Favorite Destinations
It's so hard to pick a favorite destination. Disney is my happy place - a place where I can go and just be a child again. But, my all time favorite country is probably Greece. I love everything about it - the food, the culture, the people, the beauty. Following that is Kenya - nothing adequately describe the sheer beauty of the nature and the people. It's extraordinary.
About my most memorable vacation
I think my most memorable vacation was the first time we took our kids to Europe when they were 3 and 6. That is truly the trip that hooked them on travel. We took them to Spain which is a fantastic country to visit with little ones. It was so much fun seeing the country through children's eyes. We were forced to slow down, and just go with the flow. And nothing beat seeing their reactions to the monkeys on Gibraltar!
