A Full-Service Travel Advisor & Advocate
My portfolio spans the full spectrum of experiences: from The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Virgin Voyages and Rocky Mountaineer, offering contemporary, luxury, and world cruises, luxury rail, RV journeys, private villa retreats in Puerto Vallarta, milestone romance (honeymoons, destination microweddings), solo & group tours, and VIP sports access (e.g., Formula 1, The Masters, Super Bowl, Olympics). While I can assist with most destinations, I specialize in journeys to Kenya, South Africa, Mexico, Greece, the UK, and the Caribbean. I serve as your dedicated advocate and strategist for seamless travel guided by military discipline and global expertise. While I welcome every traveler, I have the necessary sensibilities to advocate for accessible travel, the LGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC travelers, and military families—ensuring safety, dignity, and personalized care in every travel experience.
