There are some things that can only be learned through experience. The whereabouts of a great little trattoria that is off the beaten path in Rome, for example, or which excursion company in the Caribbean offers the best service.

These are the types of experiences that I've learned while sailing on more than 40 ocean and river cruises and that I can share with you while planning your vacation itinerary. The following are just a few of the places where I have enjoyed cruises:

• Danube River
• Rhine River
• Seine River
• Rivers through Netherlands and Belgium
• The Atlantic Ocean
• The Caribbean
• Alaska
• The Mediterranean
• The Galapagos Islands

I truly believe that river cruises are one of the best ways to travel. These intimate ships sail through some of the most beautiful destinations in the world. And the best part is you only have to unpack your bags once and float from one interesting site to another.

In addition to my travel experiences, I have also worked as a travel agent since 2007. I love working in this industry because I enjoy making people happy and helping them to make their dreams come true. If you decide to book with me, I will help you navigate the myriad options, promotions and prices so that, together, we can craft the ideal vacation for your needs and desires.

And because of my travel experience, I can also help you plan those trips that some may feel too daunting to attempt on their own, such as a cruise to the Galapagos Islands, a magical place that should be on everyone's bucket list.

As someone who loves to travel myself, I know that your vacation is very important to you. So I make it my priority to respond immediately to all of your phone calls and emails. I also pride myself on adding personal touches to all of my clients' vacations.  And in addition to cruises, I also specialize in helping clients find the best all-inclusive resorts for their travel style and helping families book the perfect Disney vacation.

So if you are planning on going on vacation soon, please contact me so that I can help you plan your next great adventure.
