About Me

The Moment You'll Never Forget
The Moment You'll Never Forget

Expedition cruising is my passion — and the category I believe delivers the most transformative travel experiences available today. I work with travelers of all ages and backgrounds who want to go further and see more than conventional travel allows.

Families discover the Galápagos changes how young people see the natural world. Older travelers find these voyages deliver the most meaningful journeys of their lives — unhurried, expert-led, deeply immersive. 

If you've ever looked at a map and wondered what it would feel like to actually go there — to Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galapagos—expedition cruising is your answer. And it's far more accessible than most people assume.

I work with the leading expedition operators — National Geographic Lindblad Expeditions, HX Expeditions, Ponant, Silversea, and Viking — and know their ships, their strengths, and what sets each one apart. 

My job is matching the right expedition to the right traveler. If you're not sure which operator, which destination, or even which style of expedition is right for you, that's exactly where I start.

Sometimes the right match requires real persistence. A solo traveler in his 70s came to me wanting a Northwest Passage voyage — one of the most coveted itineraries on earth. For context: for every person who sails the Northwest Passage, twelve have summited Everest. Solo cabins, without single supplement fees, on these sailings are rare. I spent months scanning supplier inventory, knowing that HX Expeditions periodically releases solo cabins at significantly reduced supplements. When that inventory appeared, I was ready. He sails this August — and is already planning his next adventure with me.

If you've been wondering whether expedition cruising is right for you — or you already know where you want to go and just need the right person in your corner — I'd love to help you get there.

Family Ski Trip
Reviewed By Carlee - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Vail/Eagle ~ Colorado ~ USA
Thank you, Peggy, for planning a fun family ski trip! Our stay in Lionshead village was filled with plenty of things for the kids to do, from exploring the shops and restaurants to ice skating! And of course, steps away from the gondola so we could get an early start to our day on the mountain. We look forward to our next trip!

Cross Another One Of My Bucket List
Reviewed By PSM - Lake Elmo, MN | Traveled to Vancouver Island ~ British Columbia ~ Canada
Peggy is great- she takes your ideas and runs with them. She customizes your travel for you. Peggy knows travel and preferences aren't one size fits all. I would never have known about the Rocky Mountaineer. Excellent resource to see the world.

"Rocky Mountaineer is a great way to slow down and enjoy the beautiful world around you. Can't wait to help you check more items off your bucket list!"

Best vacation ever!
Reviewed By Wendi - Taylorville, IL | Traveled to Caribbean
Peggy at Island and Adventure is the best travel agent I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Her service is superlative, the knowledge she possesses is second to none and going above beyond is what she does. The 5 star rating I gave Peggy, should definitely be 5 gold stars.

Took away the stress!
Reviewed By JB - Cottage Grove, MN | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Handing travel planning over to Peggy was the best idea. Although I enjoyed searching Expedia, it ate up way too many hours of my time. Every vacation spot looked good and picking the right one was stressful. Way too many choices! Peggy asked us a few questions about the type of experience we wanted and very quickly presented us with top quality options. We narrowed it down to our top two, giving Peggy our reasons. She helped us see which choice was clearly the best. So great to have someone else to read the fine print and secure worrisome details. Thanks for the help, Peggy!

    A Croatia Expedition Cruise with Lindblad

    Can an expedition cruise be cultural, warm-water, and completed in just over a week? After sailing Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast and Montenegro aboard the 102-guest National Geographic Orion with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, my answer is an emphatic yes. Many travelers associate expedition cruising with Antarctica, the Arctic, or...
