About Me

Safari, Expedition & River/Ocean Cruise Specialist

Hello!

I’m Lynelle, and I’ve been passionate about travel since 1994 when I began my journey as an international flight attendant. The first time I landed in London, I was hooked! That role gave me the unique opportunity to explore destinations worldwide and a desire to share my experiences with anyone who would listen.

With over 30 years in the travel industry, I’ve planned countless vacations, from exhilarating safaris in Africa to luxurious cruises and unforgettable family adventures. I particularly enjoy working with clients who are looking for culturally immersive vacations, families eager to show their children something beyond theme parks, honeymooners dreaming of exotic locations, and solo travelers seeking safe, unique and enriching adventures.

My personal favorites include:

  • Antarctica, the polar regions & other expedition-style trips.
  • Africa for animal safaris, wine regions and beautiful beaches.
  • River cruising for cultural, culinary, ancestry trips.
  • French Polynesia for turquoise lagoons and soft white sand perfect for snorkeling and diving.
  • There is so much more!

As a member of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) and CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association), I am certified by travel partners such as Hurtigruten Expeditions, Lindblad Expeditions, AMA Waterways, Viking Cruises, and several others. I'm happy to share my qualifications with you.

I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every trip I plan. I specialize in creating custom itineraries for my clients that have every detail handled. You only need to focus on enjoying your trip.

Whether you're dreaming of a safari in Africa or a relaxing river cruise through Europe, I’m here to make it happen. I’ve had the pleasure of sending hundreds of clients on their dream vacations, and nothing excites me more than helping others discover new destinations.

With decades of experience and a deep understanding of the travel industry, I’m committed to providing personalized service, ensuring that your vacation is everything you’ve envisioned. If you’re ready for a hassle-free, unforgettable journey, I’m here to help make that dream a reality.

Thank you!
