About Me

For Alaska, Riviera Maya and culinary travel

 

I enjoy working with explorers of all types that appreciate an authentic experience and being immersed in the destination through the people, the cuisine and shared experiences with their fellow travelers. 

My agency focuses on 3 main destinations. 

#1 Alaska cruises and cruisetours. I live in Seattle, WA so I know the Seattle and Vancouver cities, the cruise terminals and how to navigate and enjoy them to the max. The glaciers, wildlife, fresh air and kindness of the locals is what brings me back.   

#2 Culinary-focused travel aka "epitourism".  As a professionally trained chef and food-grubber I am naturally drawn to culinary destinations and the travel options that bring that experience to you.  That might be via a cruise line with an exceptional food and beverage program or a river cruise through wine regions of Europe, a visit to Oktoberfest or simply incorporating cooking class or street food tour into your itinerary. 

#3 Riviera Maya and Cabo San Lucas.  I love Mexico. All of it. And Cabo and the Riviera Maya are my most popular spots.  I love the food, the people, the geography and culture/history. From Holbox to Tulum and  San Jose del Cabo to El Arco.  This is my favorite resort vacation destination and I am a certified Mexpert.  

Which one of these sounds the most like you?

I didn't worry about anything!
Reviewed By Louise - Providence, R.I. | Traveled to Spain | Europe
I can’t thank you enough.  It was so nice not having to worry about anything.  And that was thanks to you. My husband spent two weeks in history heaven.  John had a way of making everything exciting.  I never thought I would feel that way about history.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Julia was great in arranging our European vacation. It was so nice to leave the planning stress to a professional for once. She even printed up our itinerary for me since I’m still living in analog mode.
