European Travel and River Cruise Specialist

One favorite of mine! European River Cruising

With more than 43 years in the travel industry, I can proudly say that I’m a true globetrotter. My passion for exploring the world — and helping others do the same — has given me extensive firsthand knowledge in planning incredible, memorable vacations for travelers of all styles.

Travel is both my joy and my specialty. I’ve traveled extensively throughout Europe, exploring ancient villages, vibrant cities, and the iconic coastlines of the Mediterranean. My travels have taken me as far as Australia and New Zealand, and I continue to expand my knowledge with two to three trips each year — always including at least one destination that’s new to me.

I’ve journeyed throughout Alaska, and I’ve personally traveled on the Rocky Mountaineer Railroad three times, experiencing both the U.S. and Canadian routes while hosting groups and I can tell you firsthand about the breathtaking scenery, exceptional service, and unforgettable moments that await anyone who chooses Rocky Mountaineer for their vacation.

My most recent adventure took me to Iceland in search of the Northern Lights. What a beautiful country with so much to see and experience. From thundering waterfalls and ancient glaciers to black-sand beaches and dramatic volcanic landscapes, Iceland offers something for every traveler — whether you’re a thrill seeker or someone who simply loves to soak in the beauty of nature.

My custom itineraries cover every detail of your journey, including airfare, car rentals, rail travel, sightseeing, accommodations, and more. My strength lies in my personal travel experience, my dedication to providing exceptional service and my commitment to staying current with the ever-changing travel industry.

I am considered an expert in European travel, particularly Italy, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, and I have visited more than 20 European countries. As an Accredited Cruise Counselor, I also specialize in ocean and river cruising, including the increasingly popular European river cruises. I’ve sailed the Rhine, the Danube, and other rivers — often while escorting groups.

My clients appreciate that I listen carefully to their wants and needs. Understanding what you enjoy is essential to crafting a journey that feels personal, meaningful, and unforgettable. I take pride in recommending tours, excursions, and hidden gems that align with your interests and enhance your experience. 

Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic couples’ escape, a multigenerational family adventure, or a milestone celebration, we have the expertise and resources to bring your vision to life and create a journey you’ll never forget.

I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation so I can get to know your interests and learn more about the kind of travel experience you’re dreaming of. This conversation helps us connect, explore ideas together, and ensure your trip is designed with care and attention to what matters most to you. Should you decide to move forward with my services, a non-refundable planning and design fee will be requested. Once the fee is received, I will begin crafting a customized itinerary tailored specifically to your interests, preferences, and travel style.

While there are many ways to book travel today, only a professional travel advisor offers the personal attention, industry knowledge, and dedicated service you deserve. My clients return from their vacations with fond memories, shared experiences, and a renewed sense of joy — and I am honored to play a part in that.

I look forward to helping you plan the trip of a lifetime.
