About Me

For more than 30 years, I’ve been the go-to vacation planner for my family, friends, and anyone who loves the idea of an effortless escape. What started as a passion - researching destinations, comparing cruise itineraries, and finding the perfect beachfront suite - has grown into a calling. Today, I bring that same personal care and experience to every client I work with through Wood Tide Travel, where the journey is always relaxed, thoughtful, and inspired by the water.

I’ve taken over 20 cruises, from ocean-crossing adventures to intimate small-ship sailings, and each one has deepened my love for life on the water. Over the years, I developed a special appreciation for river cruising, where every bend of the shoreline brings new culture, new scenery, and a slower, more meaningful style of travel. Whether it’s a luxury river voyage along Europe’s storied waterways or a boutique ship exploring the world’s quieter corners, I understand how to match the right sailing with the right traveler.

I’ve also experienced numerous all-inclusive resorts, giving me firsthand insight into the differences that matter - service, food quality, setting, amenities, and the small details that turn a simple stay into a seamless escape. I use this knowledge to guide clients toward resorts that fit their style, whether they prefer peaceful adults-only retreats, family-friendly destinations, or elevated luxury with every detail taken care of.

Planning the perfect vacation has always been something I genuinely enjoy. It’s not just about itineraries or logistics - it’s about creating journeys that feel easy, personal, and deeply memorable. I listen closely, ask the right questions, and design travel that reflects how you want to experience the world. My goal is simple: to remove the stress so you can savor the excitement.

With Wood Tide Travel, you’ll receive personalized recommendations, honest insights, and the kind of support that makes travel planning feel effortless from the very first message. Whether you’re dreaming of a river cruise, an ocean voyage, or an all-inclusive sanctuary where everything is taken care of, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s create your next escape - smooth, tailored, and inspired by the tide.
