All-Inclusive Specialist, Cruises, Adventure

Notre Dame Cathedral, Strasbourg, France

Life is short. Take the trip. After 30 years serving my Iowa community—25 years in law enforcement and 5 years as a court bailiff—I learned the value of trust, organization, and delivering calm in chaos.

Travel has always been my way to reset, to remind myself of a world beyond the daily grind.That’s why I founded LaVida Escapes: to help people like you finally take those “someday” trips and turning travel dreams into real, right-now adventures.

Whether it’s a sun-kissed all-inclusive beach escape, a once-in-a-lifetime ocean cruise, or a tailored group getaway, I use my decades of experience to plan every detail so you can relax and focus on what matters most: creating new memories.

I specialize in:All-inclusive vacations (Apple Vacations specialist)Cruising (Viking Cruises Certified, plus river cruises). Senior, solo, and honeymoon travel. My clients say they value my honesty, composure, and the smooth journeys I provide. Ask for a few sample itineraries! I believe travel is about more than just seeing new places; it’s about discovering new parts of yourself.
