About Me

River, Ocean, Expedition and Tour Specialist

I’ve been a travel agent for 17 years, but my passion for exploring the world started long before that. Travel has shaped my life, taking me to incredible places like Antarctica, Greenland, Africa, and Tahiti, where I’ve experienced breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable moments. Through my company, Tinker Travel LLC, I specialize in luxury cruises and adventure travel, helping clients explore the world with ease and excitement. I believe travel should be seamless and personal, which is why I treat every trip as if it were my own. What I love most is building connections—getting to know my clients, understanding their dreams, and making those dreams a reality. My passion lies in helping clients discover new cultures, savor unique cuisines, and uncover hidden gems. Whether it's the magic of family travel or the joy of creating lasting memories with new friends along the way, I’m honored to be part of every adventure.
