About Me

I've been passionate about travel since1982,when a frustrating experience trying to book a trip to Hawaii inspired me to take matters into my own hands.  The travel agency i contacted assumed i couldn't afford the trip and refused to help.  That moment lit a fire in me,and on May 27,1986 I opened my own travel agency.  After 38 wonderful years,I am still proudly helping clients bring their dream trips to life.

 

With almost 4 decades as a travel advisor and extensive travel experience across the globe, I specialize in creating unforgettable journeys for retired couples working through their bucket lists,honeymooners celebrating their love,river cruise enthusiasts,and well-traveled luxury clients.  I specially love crafting Greece and Italy itineraries.  One of my favorite memories is helping a small group the beauty of three Greek islands,complete with unique experiences like private catamaran cruise in Santorini and a cooking tour in Mykonos,followed by the Amalfi Coast in Italy.

 

River cruises hold a special place in my heart.  Having sailed on more than 70 cruise sailings,including river cruises.  I truly believe they offer something for everyone.  River cruises bring travelers right into the heart of a destination,making it easy to connect with the culture and charm of the places you visit.

I take pride in being an excellent listener and always make time to meet clients by appointment to truly understand their needs.  From presenting to groups to solving travel mishaps like weather-related cancellations.  I'm committed to ensuring every trip goes as smoothly as possible-even if that means taking calls from a foreign country to provide advice.

When I'm not working or traveling,I enjoy golfing and contributing to my community through charity work.  Based in Myrtle Beach,SC,I'm always ready to help my clients navigate the ever-changing travel industry to make their dream journeys a reality.  Reach out today and let'sget started planning your next vacation!
