About Me

 For travelers who crave authentic adventure, meaningful cultural exchange, and once-in-a-lifetime encounters with the natural world, National Geographic Expeditions offers journeys unlike any other. These trips are designed for curious explorers who want more than a vacation—they want discovery, learning, and a deeper connection to the planet. As a travel advisor specializing in National Geographic Expeditions, I help my clients embark on extraordinary adventures led by experts and backed by more than a century of exploration legacy. Whether it’s venturing deep into the Arctic aboard a state-of-the-art expedition ship, photographing Africa’s iconic wildlife alongside a National Geographic photography expert, or uncovering the hidden stories of ancient cities with local scholars, these journeys are thoughtfully crafted to reveal the heart of each destination. My mission is to make planning these adventures seamless and exciting, so travelers can focus on the wonder of exploration while I handle the details behind the scenes.National Geographic Expeditions is renowned for its extraordinary access and enriching experiences. Unlike typical tours or cruises, every itinerary is shaped by National Geographic’s deep connections with scientists, storytellers, conservationists, and cultural experts. Guests may travel with a National Geographic Expert who shares insider knowledge and fascinating stories, or join a National Geographic Photography Expert to capture iconic images in some of the world’s most photogenic locations. The range of travel styles is impressive: from intimate small-ship expeditions to legendary destinations like Antarctica and the Galápagos, to active adventures through remote landscapes, to immersive land journeys that take guests into the heart of world cultures. These trips often include behind-the-scenes access to research sites, special wildlife viewing opportunities, and hands-on cultural experiences that most travelers never get to enjoy. On every expedition, comfort and learning are seamlessly intertwined—guests can expect exceptional accommodations, curated dining, and logistics handled with care, all while engaging with the world in an authentic, meaningful way. My role is to match each client with the expedition that best fits their interests and comfort level, helping them navigate itineraries, travel styles, and seasonal opportunities so their trip is perfectly tailored to their personal adventure goals.What I love most about helping clients experience National Geographic Expeditions is seeing how these journeys create transformative, life-enriching memories. I’ve helped travelers fulfill lifelong dreams—spotting polar bears in the Arctic, marveling at Machu Picchu at sunrise, kayaking alongside glaciers in Alaska, or meeting scientists protecting endangered wildlife. I’ve seen families strengthen their bonds while learning together, couples find romance in faraway landscapes, and solo adventurers discover a global community of like-minded explorers. My job is to make these complex, bucket-list-level trips effortless to plan and unforgettable to experience. I handle everything from itinerary guidance and travel insurance to flights, extensions, and pre- and post-trip stays, so you can focus entirely on the excitement of discovery. With my expertise, you’ll have confidence that your National Geographic Expedition is not just a trip, but a profound journey of learning and connection. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or taking your first big adventure, I’ll help you travel with purpose and curiosity—just as National Geographic has inspired for generations.

First family Disneyland trip
Reviewed By Cathy Lagomarsino - California | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
We had a great time!!! Thank you for all your work on our behalf and the patience you had with our endless questions. The hotel was great - we were able to get connecting rooms. The proximity to the Parks was easily walkable. The staff was friendly. The Lightening Lane aspect of our ticket package allowed us to ride so many more rides (some multiple times) than we expected despite the large Spring Break crowds that were in attendance. We would definitely get that again! We enjoyed the dinner reservation you made for us at Great Maple was perfect - there were 10 of us for dinner including 3 children and the place was perfect for our families gathering - it was so nice to meet up with close friends that live in the area. We also ate at Blue Bayou in Disneyland and Wine Country Trattoria in California Adventure. It was nice to sit for a meal and plan the rest of the day. Jennifer and our son Brian (who joined us) were able to use the Disney app to order food, make reservations an

The best Universal trip!
Reviewed By Caitlin Hakes - Houston Texas | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
We had the best experience working with Alex’s on our Universal Orlando trip. She listened to the things that mattered most to us and created different options of where we could stay. We ended up choosing to go to the Royal Pacific and we were blown away! The shuttle option made the most sense for us and helped us skip long rental car lines, as well as avoiding overnight parking. Our family of 7 enjoyed both Universal parks by day and the beautiful hotel pools by night. We had the vacation of our dreams, without any stress in the planning. We will Definitely work with Alexx again, it was the best decision we made!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
