About Me

Blue Footed Booby - Cooling in the heat
Blue Footed Booby - Cooling in the heat

After 37 wonderful years as an educator and 13 as an Agency Director, I’ve had the good fortune to travel the world with the help of educational grants and a serious case of wanderlust. For years, my journeys had a scientific twist — exploring the planet through the lens of biology.

These days? It’s all about pure, unfiltered joy. Travel has evolved a lot since 2020, and honestly, there’s never been a better time to say yes to new adventures.

Picture yourself sailing to sun-drenched islands, sampling decadent local dishes, snapping way too many selfies in front of epic views, and getting delightfully lost down charming cobblestone streets. I believe travel is about collecting memories, not just passport stamps. Whether it’s listening to live music in Vienna, savoring fresh Swiss chocolate in Lucerne, or sipping German wine while floating past fairytale castles on the Rhine — these are the moments that stay with you.

And while I might not have stepped foot in every corner of the world (yet!), I’ve got a treasure trove of resources, insider tips, and trusted travel connections to help plan trips that match your style, budget, and sense of adventure. Whether you’re newly married and dreaming up a perfect honeymoon, gathering the whole family for a long-overdue reunion, organizing a friends’ getaway, or wrangling a group trip for any reason at all — I’m here to make it easy, memorable, and maybe even a little magical. From group cruises to all-inclusive resorts, luxury cruises, or European tours, I love helping people plan experiences worth reliving.

At the heart of my business is one simple philosophy: travel should make you happy. I’m not about cookie-cutter packages — I’m about crafting journeys as unique as you are. Because let’s be honest: travel isn’t a luxury anymore… it’s a lifestyle. So whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a family vacation, a big group adventure, or a spontaneous weekend escape — I’d be honored to help you turn those travel dreams into unforgettable memories.

My Recent Trips in 2025

After years as an educator and travel agency director, I’ve explored the world from the Galápagos to the British Isles, the Southern Caribbean to Italy.

Each destination has taught me that travel isn’t just about seeing new places — it’s about collecting stories. Whether standing beside giant tortoises, wandering Irish cliffs, relaxing on Caribbean beaches, or savoring pasta in Tuscany, I’ve learned that joy is found in every journey.

I design travel experiences that are personal, seamless, and unforgettable — because travel should make you happy.

Our Fabulous Carribean Cruise
Reviewed By BoilerDLM - Indiana | Traveled to Amber Cove | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
First, our transfers to and from the airports were great! We chose to fly into Ft Lauderdale from Indianapolis the day we were to set sail, so I was a little nervous. So much could happen (weather, emergencies, etc). But we were very fortunate that we arrived in Florida approximately 10:30am, got our luggage and found Celebrity Transfers easily. We then loaded up the bus to go to the ship, a short distance and what a beautiful site seeing Celebrity Reflection waiting for us! We were getting so excited! The bus pulled up, unloaded our luggage and it was headed to our room before we even knew it. We were able to board with our passport, tickets and personal bags. We then headed to our room on Deck 11! It was a nice room with wonderful decor, a king bed, full bathroom with shower, and small living room area with sofa, table and tv. Built ins to unpack our things, a small refrigerator and a safe! We freshened up then headed to take care of responsibilities. We had to go through a Safety/Health check and know where to go should a real emergency occur. Now it’s time for some fun! Deck 15…the Mast Grill & Bar! Our first Pina Collada! Yum! Our bartender was fabulous too!! So outgoing and nice! We hadn’t realized while we purchased a drink package, we weren’t going to have good drinks unless we upgraded our package to the Premium! We did..and it was worth for the amount we imbibed on the 9 day trip! Wines, Bourbons, specialty drinks, Lattes, Premium bottled water…we had it all! Another perk of our Aqua Class room was being able to dine in the Blu Dining Room. Outstanding! Excellent wait staff! We traveled to St. John/Antigua, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Dominican Republic, & St. Thomas. We did 2 excursions. One on St. Kitts (Grill & Chill) & St Lucia (Tour, lunch and Catamaran ride). Sun time on Deck 14 by the pool! Or on 15! We had beautiful weather! The trip ended with disembarking. Headache…take your luggage!! Or pay to check it all the way through to your destination!
