About Me

View of Northern Lights from Celebrity Edge

I've been a traveler at heart for as long as I can remember. My love for adventure began in childhood, when my grandfather would take our family on unforgettable summer vacations—from the sunlit beaches of Hawaii to the glaciers of Alaska and the historic streets of Italy. Those early experiences sparked a deep passion for exploration—one that has only grown over the years.

That passion has stayed with me through every season of life and continues to shape the way I explore the world. Today, I call Madison, Mississippi home, where I live with my husband, Aaron, and our two dogs, Bonnie and Tia. When I’m not planning our next adventure or sharing travel tips, you’ll likely find me in a duck blind, enjoying the outdoors and a slower pace close to home.

While I’ve explored many corners of the world, cruising remains my favorite way to travel. Whether it’s the rugged beauty of Alaska or the timeless charm of Italy, I love discovering new ports and curating cruise experiences that blend adventure, comfort, and culture.

With a background in marketing and an MBA—plus years of experience in the banking industry—I bring a detail-oriented and creative approach to travel planning. My goal? To help others break away from the ordinary and create unforgettable journeys—especially at sea—tailored to their interests, budget, and dreams.  

Thanks for stopping by—I’d love to help you plan your next adventure!

My Favorite Destination

Alaska has always been my favorite destination, and my recent journey there reminded me exactly why it’s so special. My husband, Aaron, and I sailed round-trip from Seattle on the Celebrity Edge for a 7-night Dawes Glacier itinerary, exploring breathtaking stops like Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway. From flying in a helicopter over Mendenhall Glacier for a once-in-a-lifetime dog-sledding adventure to watching massive glaciers calve into the sea, every moment felt like pure magic. The crisp air, untamed beauty, and sense of adventure are what make Alaska truly unforgettable—and I’d love to help you experience it for yourself. Whether it’s your first cruise or a return to the Last Frontier, let’s start planning your dream Alaska journey today.
