About Me

London!

People who love to travel have the world at their fingertips, but the options can be overwhelming. The Internet makes it easy to discover new destinations and explore unique itineraries, but on your own, it’s hard to find the supplier based on your travel needs.  That's where I can help.

13 years ago, after realizing just how much I had learned on my many journeys, I realized that my adventure-loving, detail-driven personality would make me the perfect travel consultant.  

I had long enjoyed telling my friends and family members about my exciting vacations and giving them advice about their respective trips, but until this revelation occurred, I failed to realize that I could make a career by pursuing three of the things I love most: researching unique destinations, travelling to those destinations and then using my experience to help others.

So in 2012, I walked away from my 23-year corporate marketing career (with a major grocery retailer) to open up my very own travel agency.

I now specialize in helping clients find the best travel solutions. I help wade through the information, narrow down the options and explain the trip details and pricing in a way that will allow you, the client to make the best and most informed decision.

The more pre-panning that can be done, the fewer decisions will be required on the trip, the lower the risk of unexpected issues arising and the more relaxing and enjoyable the trip will be.

When it comes to cruises,  I am an expert – I’ve completed 50 different sailings to date and have experienced most of the cruise lines that are out there from large ocean cruises, luxury cruises and my personal favourite, River cruises! 

I have the answers to the questions you haven’t even thought about asking.  I strive to ensure that your cruise vacation is perfectly planned, hassle-free and exceeds your expectations by efficiently managing all of the travel-planning details from the moment you start dreaming until the moment you return home.

With so many cruise options out there, it can be overwhelming - but that is what I'm here for.  After all, your vacation is an investment of precious time and money - why not consult an expert and make sure you get it right?

I have also managed / escorted several large group cruises and have arranged a number of Destination Weddings in the Caribbean - a unique service in itself for sure!

My strength lies in my attention to detail and my exemplary customer service. I make sure to consider every option and scenario when planning a trip, which allows my client to enjoy a relaxing and problem free vacation or cruise to even the most remote and exotic destinations.

Let`s work together so that you can enjoy the beauty of travel today!
 

 

European Travel Expert

Who doesn't love Europe?  Is a European vacation on your bucket list? If not, it should be!  

I have had the opportunity to visit many wonderful European countries through my travels including:  London, Ireland, Scotland, Greece, Turkey, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia, Monaco, France, Hungary, Germany, Spain, Switzerland & Norway just to name a few!  

Europe is all about FOOD, CULTURE and HISTORY.  

Do you want a cooking class in Italy?  No problem!  Want to visit the Waterford Crystal Factory? No problem!  Want to visit a winery? No problem!

No matter what your preferable travel style might be, I am knowledgeable and can customize the perfect vacation for you!

Client Testimonials

Loved Scandinavia & Norway!
We’re back from Amsterdam after an incredible 3 weeks of sailing the Baltic and North Sea. What in incredible itinerary! I would highly recommend adding the Norway segment to any of your clients who are looking to do the Baltic. We were not ready to come home after 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed the addition of Norway to our itinerary. We just wanted to thank you for the gifts you sent to our cabin. We enjoyed the dipped strawberries and champagne and took advantage of the photo credit as well. Thanks so much, we're looking forward to the NEXT one!
Judy C. Bradford Ont,
Retirement Cruise Success!
Cheryl. The Baltic and Nordic cruise fulfilled all my hopes for a fantastic “retirement trip”! After so many years of waiting and hoping that we could make this trip it was really wonderful to finally enjoy it, we had spectacular weather (not at all the cool and rainy weather we were advised to expect). Judy and Jackie booked another cruise onboard, they are headed to South America and Antarctic next. With three cruises still on the calendar already for us we did not book anything further at this time, but will do so for sure on one of the upcoming trips. Thanks for the photo shop credit, it was fun to use it to capture memories from our fantastic ports! Janice
