Aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin in Bora Bora.

I grew up with the itch to travel, a fairly common theme for anyone who grew up in Kansas. When I was a little girl, my dad hauled cattle throughout the Midwest. Every summer, I eagerly volunteered to travel with him in his semi-truck so that I could follow the maps with my finger as we drove down the highway. We never drove any further than Colorado, but I always knew something great must have existed on the other side of the Rocky Mountains. I daydreamed about that mountainous horizon for years. Finally, when I was 16 years old, I traveled beyond that mountainous range and saw the ocean for the first time.

I found my passion in college when I took my first art history course. I could hardly wait to jump on a plane to fly to Europe, grab a glass of wine, and soak in the culture. As soon as I graduated, I moved to Kansas City and started my career in the monotonous business world. Then, I read this quote, “quit your job, buy a ticket, get a tan, fall in love, and never return.” That’s exactly what I did. By age 25, I had traveled internationally 9 times and visited 8 countries. By age 30, I had traveled internationally 56 times (and counting) and visited 23 countries.

As a Travel Counselor for Cruise Holidays of Kansas City, I am a tenacious advocate for helping you plan your dream vacations! I specialize in international travel. My specialties are in all-inclusives and river cruises.
