About Me

Smiling Faces in Beautiful South Africa
Smiling Faces in Beautiful South Africa

I didn’t start my travel business because I simply enjoy vacations...I started it because I understand what it feels like to be busy, successful, and still feel like something is missing.

You’re handling responsibilities, showing up for everyone else, checking all the boxes...and somewhere along the way, you realize--you haven’t really paused to enjoy your own life.

That’s where I come in.

I’m the founder of 2BusyNot2Travel®, and I specialize in creating concierge-level, culturally immersive travel experiences--primarily for women over 40 who are ready to step away, breathe, reconnect, and truly live.

For me, travel isn’t just about the destination. It’s about how you feel while you’re there...and who you become because of it.

Over the years, I’ve had the blessing of traveling to six of the seven continents, with a special place in my heart for Africa and the United Arab Emirates--destinations that offer both deep cultural connection and unforgettable, elevated experiences. Those journeys didn’t just show me the world...they changed how I see it, and how I guide others through it.

I design and personally escort boutique group journeys that are filled with laughter, reflection, cultural connection, and those moments where you just stop and say, “Wow...I needed this.”

Moments that refresh your mind. Moments that bring you peace. Moments that remind you--you still have so much life to live.

While I do specialize in women’s group travel--especially for women who may be navigating life transitions, rediscovery, or simply need a safe space to reconnect--my services are open to anyone who values a more personal, thoughtful, and elevated travel experience.

My clients aren’t looking for “just a trip.” They’re looking for something that feels meaningful...something that stays with them.

And that’s exactly what I create.

My background in business strategy and project management allows me to approach travel a little differently. I’m very intentional about how each journey is designed--from the flow of the itinerary to the overall experience--so that everything feels seamless, yet still leaves room for those beautiful, unexpected moments.

Because the truth is...travel should never feel stressful or transactional.

It should feel like freedom. It should feel like clarity. It should feel like you’ve given yourself permission to just be.

That’s the experience I want for every client I serve.So if you’ve been saying, “I’m too busy to travel”… I’ll gently challenge you on that.

You’re not too busy.

You’re 2BusyNot2Travel.

This isn’t just a trip--it’s an experience that stays with you.

Here’s what you can expect when you work with me:

River Cruising Solo Style

Finally… A River Cruise That Felt Right

I’ll be honest...river cruising was never at the top of my list. Not because it didn’t look beautiful--but because I wasn’t sure if it would feel like me. If I would feel comfortable...welcomed..seen. But my experience onboard AmaWaterways changed that for me in a way I didn’t expect. From the moment I stepped onto the ship,...

Fun Times on Safari

South Africa Was Beautiful: It Also Made Me Think

South Africa is beautiful..but not in a simple, picture-perfect kind of way. It’s the kind of place that pulls you in with its scenery--and then quietly asks you to look deeper. During my time in Cape Town, I decided to take the hop-on-hop-off bus on my first day to really get a feel for the city. And what a way to begin. Fr...

A Beautiful Traditional Dinner in Ghana

Ghana Touched My Soul in Ways I Didn’t Expect

There are some places you visit and then there are places that reach into your spirit and gently shift something inside of you. For me, Ghana was that place. From the moment I arrived, I felt it. Not just the warmth of the air, but the warmth of the people--the smiles, the rhythm, the sense that you are not a stranger here... you a...
