About Me

Hobbiton house in New Zealand!
Hobbiton house in New Zealand!

I've traveled to 46 states and throughout the Caribbean, Canada, Mexico, and Bahamas. Farther from home, I've traveled to Australia, New Zealand, and throughout Europe touring on land, ocean cruises, and river cruises. I also lived in Hawaii for five years, so I know the Hawaiian islands first-hand!

As a military-friendly travel agent specializing in cruises and all Disney locations, I feel confident that I can curate your next vacation. With over 10 years in the travel industry, I help couples and families by designing unforgettable travels and custom itineraries. Contact me if you're ready to plan your next adventure!

Travel is what I do best!
