About Me

Grand Canyon recent visit!  Breathtaking!
Grand Canyon recent visit! Breathtaking!

  I’ve learned over the years that it’s the small, unexpected moments that stay with us long after a trip ends. Moments you can’t plan for, but travel makes possible. A quiet conversation with a noodle vendor in Xi’an China. Petting sheep at the last known home of the Virgin Mary in Turkey. Watching Beluga whales crest in the Gulf of Alaska. Riding the trails at my favorite ranch and spotting jackrabbits darting through the desert brush. Descending deep into an Egyptian pyramid and feeling history press close.

These are the moments that change us, and they’re the moments I help my clients find.

For 30 years, I’ve been matching travelers with the destinations that speak to them. I specialize in Globus, CIE Tours, Tauck, Insight Vacations, Trafalgar, and Kensington Tours, Dude Ranches and Sandals Resorts helping clients experience the world through travel that’s rich in culture and connection.

River cruising is one of my greatest passions, and I work extensively with Avalon Waterways, Ama Waterways, Viking, and Tauck river cruises; pairing each traveler with the line and itinerary that best fits their style.

 A graduate of Penn State University, I previously served as an adjunct professor at Harrisburg Area Community College, teaching travel geography and encouraging students to discover the world and consider a future in this industry I love.

Wherever you dream of going, there’s a moment waiting for you, one that will stay with you forever. I’d be honored to help you find it.

Margaret was always prompt and responded right away. We received all the necessary information that we needed and she answered any questions we had before we even thought of them! Truly a great and relaxing experience working with her especially after other awful travel agents that we have had.

We just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the help you provided in booking our Mediterranean Cruise. We got back yesterday.
We had a wonderful time. The flights worked out perfect, the hotel for the extra night in Venice was beautiful and the transfer you arranged to the airport was flawless.
Your assistance took a lot of pressure off of us in making decisions, which was greatly appreciated, since we had never traveled in Europe before.

Vinny's already talking about Hawaii for 2016, so I'm sure I'll be in touch.

Thank you,
Rain

You are amazing!
Reviewed By Jody - Harrisburg PA | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Good Morning Marg,

Yes we had an wonderful and amazing vacation we did not want to leave. The Iberostar Resort was wonderful and beautiful. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful. We went to the Great House at Rose Hall and the Dunns Falls and we climbed the whole way up it was a lot of fun. We only wished we would have stayed a little longer then a week we said 10 days next time.

Thank you so much for suggesting this resort instead of the Holiday Inn Resort. We were so pleased with everything.

That was our 2nd vacation that you helped us plan and book and you are amazing. Thank you so much for everything.

I will be coming in soon to start planning our Disney Vacation. We were looking to go in 2018 for Mickeys not so scary Halloween.

Have a Great Weekend!!!

Jody
