Which one is right for you? I can help!
There is a wonderful wide world out there, just waiting to be seen! Travel does so much for us, as an individual, a couple, a family, a group of friends, or a group event. The shared experiences reconnect us to our loved ones while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
My goal is to help you simplify the travel process by designing the ideal vacation for you. This allows you to reconnect with yourself, your family, your friends, with nature, with adventure, with relaxation.
As a Certified Cruise Counselor, I have training and experience finding the right cruise ship, destinations, and excursions for your cruising dreams.
I believe that cruising can be enjoyed by everyone! From a family friendly cruise in the Caribbean cruise to a luxury river cruise in Europe, there is a cruise ship and itinerary for you!
I welcome the opportunity to speak with you and make your cruising dreams a reality.
Simplify. Design. Reconnect. Born for Travel – curating your vacation story.
Cruise curious? Let's talk!
One of the things I enjoy most about working as a Travel Advisor is introducing people who haven't cruised before to the wonderful world of cruising! As a Certified Cruise Counselor, I am able to answer questions and discuss the hesitation that a first-time cruiser may feel prior to booking. Additionally, I am here along the way with tips and guidance up to boarding and beyond!

Bucket List Cruise
Reviewed By C.Y. - West End, NC | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
Eva was very helpful with my cruise with NCL. I didn't go with NCL for their whole deal. Eva helped with directing me on getting our own airfare, and transportation to and from the airports, getting us hotels a day before and a day after the cruise, and saving us money on the excursions. I will definitely use Eva again for my next vacation.

Sandals Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By N.B. - Akron, Oh | Traveled to Curacao ~ Netherlands Antilles ~ Caribbean
We had a wonderful trip! Not one of the things I was worried about ended up being an issue. The weather was absolutely perfect. The resort is gorgeous
Again, thank you for your help getting this trip scheduled. It was so good to get away and I can't imagine having picked a better island or resort this round.
