About Me

Ketchikan, Alaska
Ketchikan, Alaska

Life does not have to be lived in one place…

There is an entire world out there, just waiting to be explored!  Are you ready to check those to-dos off your vacation bucket list?  There’s no better time than the present to get started. 

I’m excited to share my travel experiences, knowledge and tips with you to help turn your vacation dreams into reality. 

My travels have taken me from Alaska to Zihuatanejo, from cruising Europe to relaxing on Caribbean beaches, and from exploring a basilica that took over 100 years to be built to playing poker in some of Las Vegas’ finest casinos. 

I am a cruise lover! I enjoy the ships and the entire cruise experience. It's the perfect way to see various parts of the world in one vacation, and with only having to unpack once. 

One of my favorite destinations is Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  This tropical paradise welcomes travelers to come meet its friendly people and experience its fun, colorful vibe, natural beauty, art and incredible culinary scene.  Here you will find cobblestone streets, dazzling beaches and enchanting mountains simmering with adventure. Add to this its amazing food, warm hospitality, and vibrant indigenous and traditional cultures -- all enveloped in the beauty of a by-gone time -- and you have a destination sure to win you over, enticing you to come back again and again. 

 

With my personalized service, I'll make sure that every moment of your trip is perfectly tailored to you, allowing you to relax and immerse yourself in the luxury and wonder of your travels.

* Professional, friendly and personalized service
