River, Ocean & Expedition Cruising/Safari

Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and for more than 16 years, I've had the pleasure of turning that passion into a career helping others explore the world. As the owner of The Point of Travel, I specialize in creating bespoke vacations and thoughtfully curated travel experiences that reflect each client's unique interests, personal style, and travel dreams.

Having traveled to all seven continents, I bring more than just destination knowledge to the planning process. I bring firsthand experience, trusted industry relationships, and a genuine understanding of what makes a vacation extraordinary. From sailing through the breathtaking landscapes of Antarctica and exploring the Galápagos Islands to discovering the cultures of Japan, wandering through charming European villages, and enjoying the beauty of French Polynesia, my own travels have given me invaluable insight that I love sharing with my clients.

Luxury Cruises, River Cruises & Expedition Adventures. One of my specialties is cruising, whether it's an intimate European river cruise, an elegant luxury ocean voyage, or an unforgettable expedition to some of the world's most remote destinations. I've personally sailed with many of the world's leading luxury, river, ocean, and expedition cruise lines.This firsthand experience allows me to curate exceptional cruise experiences, from selecting the ideal cruise line and itinerary to recommending the right ship, stateroom, and pre- or post-cruise adventures. I believe the perfect cruise isn't necessarily the most expensive one. It's the one that best matches your expectations and travel personality.

Bespoke European Vacations & Worldwide Adventures. Beyond cruising, I love designing bespoke land vacations throughout Europe, Asia, and beyond. Italy, France, Japan, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, and the United Kingdom are among my favorite destinations to plan.Whether you're dreaming of a romantic Italian getaway, a luxury European escape, an immersive journey through Japan, or a combination of iconic sights and hidden gems, I enjoy bringing every detail together into a seamless, personalized experience.

Through my relationships with trusted travel partners around the world, I carefully curate accommodations, private guides, exclusive excursions, transportation, and authentic local experiences that elevate an ordinary vacation into something truly memorable.

Group Travel & Special Celebrations. Some of my favorite travel memories have been created while bringing people together. I have extensive experience planning and coordinating group vacations, including multi-generational family adventures, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, couples' getaways, special-interest groups, and luxury cruise groups.I also enjoy creating curated group experiences centered around shared interests such as food and wine, Mahjong, pickleball, and other activities that bring friends and families together. Having personally hosted groups internationally, I understand the importance of balancing shared experiences with individual preferences, ensuring everyone feels well cared for.

Personalized Service From Beginning to End. What truly sets The Point of Travel apart is the personal attention I give to every vacation. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all travel planning. Every journey begins with a conversation about what matters most to you.My approach combines the attention to detail of bespoke travel planning with the personal relationships and firsthand knowledge that come from years of exploring the world. From our initial conversation through the final details before departure, I strive to make the planning process organized, enjoyable, and as stress-free as possible.I coordinate the many moving parts of travel, provide practical guidance, and prepare my clients with the information and resources they need to travel confidently.

My goal is to create an experience where you can focus on enjoying the journey while knowing the details have been thoughtfully considered.Many of my clients return year after year, and some of my most rewarding relationships have grown from helping families celebrate life's special moments through travel.

Why I Love What I Do. For me, travel is about so much more than visiting a destination. It's about the people you meet, the cultures you experience, the unexpected discoveries, and the memories you bring home.After visiting all seven continents, I'm still discovering new places and finding inspiration for my clients' next adventures. I believe there's always another remarkable experience waiting just around the corner.Whether you're planning your first European vacation, celebrating a special occasion, exploring the world aboard a luxury cruise, or finally taking that once-in-a-lifetime trip, I would love to help create a journey that's uniquely yours.The Point of Travel | Creating Memories Around the World…Together!
