I am passionate about helping my clients turn their travel dreams into unforgettable experiences. As a dedicated travel advisor, I specialize in planning seamless, stress-free vacations tailored to each traveler’s unique preferences and goals.
Before opening my own agency, I spent 15 years planning complex international travel for elected officials, coordinating trips throughout Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia. That experience sharpened my ability to manage every detail, anticipate challenges, and deliver well-executed, high-level travel experiences.
Today, I bring that same level of precision, care, and expertise to every client I serve—whether it’s a relaxing beach getaway, an immersive cultural journey, or a cruise vacation. I take the time to get to know my clients so I can design trips that go beyond expectations.
With access to industry resources, trusted partners, and exclusive perks, I’m able to create personalized itineraries that make travel both effortless and memorable. My goal is simple: to ensure every trip is smooth, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable.
What My Clients Say
I am attending a wedding in St. Petersburg, Russia and needed lodging. I was concerned about booking and payment with current restrictions. The people at Aria set up a great hotel and got the payment taken care of. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about that. - Oksana K
I went into the planning process with knowledge of what went into taking a cruise. John made the process easy and made sure I knew what every step looked like. He helped me make a budget, gave insight to different cruise lines, what dates would be best for my timeline and budget, and assisted with making booking as smooth as possible. I’ll definitely be working with him for future vacations! - Amanda E
