Luxury Travel, Thoughtfully Planned

Tropical sunsets are my favorite!

Luxury Travel Advisor | River Cruises, Small-Ship Cruises, Guided Vacations & Group Travel

I am a luxury travel advisor based in Kansas City, Missouri, specializing in river cruises, small-ship ocean cruises, guided vacations and group travel, with destination expertise in Ireland, Europe, Alaska, the Caribbean, Mexico and French Polynesia/Tahiti.

Whether you're dreaming of a European river cruise, a luxury small-ship voyage, an overwater bungalow in Tahiti, an Alaska cruise and land adventure, a guided tour of Europe, or a memorable vacation with family and friends, I help turn your ideas into a thoughtfully planned journey designed around you.

To me, luxury travel isn't simply about a price point. It's about exceptional experiences, personalized service, beautiful accommodations, thoughtful details, and having a trusted travel advisor manage the complexities so you can enjoy the journey.

Experience & Organization Behind Every Trip

Travel has been part of my life since childhood, when my family explored the United States with our camping club. Our camper was covered in stickers from every place we visited—and today, my refrigerator proudly displays more than 150 magnets collected from destinations around the world.

Early in my career, I worked for an airline reservation company, which further sparked my passion for seeing the world firsthand. After a successful corporate career, I turned that lifelong passion into my next chapter as a professional travel advisor.

As a certified Project Manager, I bring strong organization, attention to detail and a solutions-oriented approach to travel planning. Flights, hotels, private transfers, cruises, tours, dining and special experiences all need to work together seamlessly.

I take the time to understand how you like to travel, what's important to you and where you want to spend your vacation dollars. Then I research the options, coordinate the details and create an itinerary that reflects your individual travel style.

Ireland & European Travel

Ireland is one of my travel specialties and holds a special place in my heart. I've traveled there many times, and both of my husband's parents were born and raised in Ireland. That personal connection and firsthand experience allow me to help travelers experience Ireland's people, landscapes, history, cuisine and wonderful storytelling culture.

I also help clients explore Europe by river cruise, small-ship cruise and guided vacation, matching travelers with the cruise line, itinerary, tour style and experiences that best fit them.

River Cruises, Small Ships & Group Travel

I especially enjoy helping clients navigate the many choices in European river cruising and small-ship cruising. The right cruise isn't simply about choosing a ship—it's about finding the cruise line, itinerary, accommodations and experiences that fit the traveler.

I also specialize in group travel and hosted group vacations, including cruises and international journeys. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, traveling with friends, bringing generations of a family together, or organizing a group with a shared interest, I can coordinate the many details involved in traveling together.

Why Work With Me?

Today's travelers have access to an overwhelming amount of information. My role is to help you make sense of it while saving you the time and frustration of researching and coordinating everything yourself.

I research the options, manage the details, anticipate potential issues and provide a knowledgeable point of contact throughout the process. Because I travel extensively myself, I bring firsthand destination and cruise experience along with practical travel advice to the vacations I plan.

You'll have someone in your corner before, during and after your trip—not just someone who makes the reservation.

If you're looking for a luxury travel advisor, river cruise specialist, Ireland travel specialist, group travel advisor or experienced vacation planner in Kansas City, I'd love to help turn your next trip into a journey you'll remember for years to come.
