This quote from St. Augustine defines my love for travel. My father taught me at an early age that the best education can come from the experiences we gain from travel. As a family, we traveled all over the United States and Mexico. I spent a semester of college on Chapman College's World Campus Afloat and circumnavigated the globe. So far, I have visited over 100 countries, and have still not lost the wanderlust.
In 1996, still in the midst of my teaching career, I began arranging group trips for teachers. After retiring in 2004, I decided to turn my passion for travel into a new career. I have arranged several destination weddings and group trips, booked many cruises, all inclusive vacatons, and tours. But, what I enjoy most is putting together custom itineries to exotic places like Africa and Asia, as well as the more familiar places like Europe, South and Central America, and Australia.
Living on the Gulf Coast of Florida, I am also very familiar with cruising out of New Orleans and all Florida ports.
I look forward to working with you and making your travel dreams come true!
