I live by the motto: “Once a year, travel someplace you’ve never been.” With nearly all 50 states explored and a growing love for European travel, I bring both personal experience and professional insight to every trip I plan. I specialize in cruises (including group cruises), seasonal getaways, ski trips, Lake Tahoe escapes, and beer-focused travel—especially to destinations like Germany, Denver, Portland (ME), Austin, and San Diego. And yes, I absolutely love Oktoberfests!

TRAVEL EXPERTISE

Travel is my passion—it’s what I love to plan, talk about, and experience. Cruising is the best, form fairs and theme parks to uncovering the rich history, culture, and cuisine of each destination, I believe every trip should be fun, worry-free, and filled with meaningful memories. Whether you're exploring somewhere new or returning to a favorite place, I’m here to help make it unforgettable.

With 25 years in hospitality and travel—including Hilton, DoubleTree, Embassy Suites, Home2, Hilton Garden Inn, and Best Western—I’ve built a reputation for attention to detail, top-tier customer service, and personalized planning. I offer insider tips and exclusive specials to make your journey smooth and unforgettable.

I had a dream to start a travel agency and I did it!  I want to help you.

BLUE ESCAPE TRAVEL

As an Arizona native, my favorite escapes revolve around water—oceans, lakes, beaches, and cruises. That’s why I founded Blue Escape Travel. I’ve lived in Lake Tahoe and visit seasonally (six times this year alone!). If you haven’t been, I highly recommend it.

CRUISE TRAVEL

Cruising is one of my favorite ways to explore the world. I’ve sailed with Norwegian Cruise Line and taken four Royal Caribbean cruises to Alaska and the Caribbean—including the largest ship yet, Utopia of the Seas, in 2025! I especially love Royal Caribbean’s private island experience—it's a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.  Next year I am taking my Mom to Alaska again to go to Glacier Bay!

Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a group cruise, or a multi-generational vacation, I can help you choose the right ship, itinerary, and excursions to match your travel style. From ocean voyages to river cruises, I’ll make sure your cruise is smooth sailing from start to finish.
