About Me

Glacier Bay October 2022
Glacier Bay October 2022

Alaska is one of those places people talk about for the rest of their lives — but between cruise lines, routes, cruisetours, and land options, it can be hard to know where to start. As a Certified Leisure Travel Specialist, Verified Travel Advisor, and CLIA Accredited Cruise Counselor (ACC), I help travelers from the Denver and Arvada area and beyond cut through the noise and plan Alaska trips that actually fit how they want to experience the Last Frontier.

Whether you’re a couple, family, solo traveler, or active retiree, I plan Alaska adventures that combine the best of both worlds: time on the water and time on land. That might mean an Inside Passage or Gulf of Alaska cruise focused on glaciers, wildlife, and well-timed port days, or a cruise paired with a thoughtfully paced inland itinerary that includes places like Denali National Park, Fairbanks, and Anchorage.

I work with a range of cruise lines and tour partners to plan:

  • Ocean cruises and cruisetours that blend ship time with land-based exploring
  • Escorted coach tours for a guided, low-stress experience
  • Rail journeys and independent land packages for flexible, do-it-your-way travel
  • Family and multi-generational trips with activities suited to different ages and abilities

Alaska isn’t just scenery; it’s an experience. Depending on your interests and comfort level, we can include guided hikes, whale-watching, bear viewing, scenic flights over glaciers, cultural and historical tours, or quieter days for photography and slowing down. Every itinerary is built around your pace and priorities, not a one-size-fits-all template.

Behind the scenes, I compare ships, cabins, and routes, coordinate flights and transfers, and monitor schedule changes, promotions, and other details that affect your trip. You get clear options, honest recommendations, and one point of contact from planning through your return home. If Alaska is on your bucket list and planning it feels overwhelming, I’m here to make the process straightforward so you can focus on the experience, not the logistics. Travel more, worry less
