About Me

Castillo San Felipe del Morro, San Juan, PR
Castillo San Felipe del Morro, San Juan, PR

Growing up in a Navy and Air Force family, I was immersed in a world of exploration—from Jacksonville to Okinawa and vibrant cities like Orlando, Las Vegas, and New Orleans. Each move deepened my appreciation for diverse cultures and sparked a lifelong love of travel.

That passion took shape in 2011 when my husband and I fell in love with cruising on our honeymoon. Since then, we've sailed the Caribbean and even reached the scenic shores of Nova Scotia, making cruising a cherished tradition. I naturally became the go-to resource for friends and family, spending hours on cruise forums and helping others plan unforgettable trips.

During the pandemic, I finally pursued my dream of becoming a travel professional. With my husband’s encouragement, I completed The Travel Institute’s TripKit course, launched my own agency, and began booking cruises for others. Today, I’m proud to be a Certified Travel Agent (CTA) and Certified Cruise Counselor (CCC).

Beyond cruising, I’m active in a medieval non-profit society, where I’ve helped many members plan meaningful journeys to Europe—bringing literary dreams to life.

Whether it’s a Caribbean escape or a European adventure, I find deep joy in crafting experiences that turn wanderlust into lasting memories.
