I am a 40+ year travel expert holding the important CTC (Certified Travel Counselor) degree. My thesis – CRUISING! I have visited over 80 countries on six continents, some by land and some by sea. I cruised both rivers and oceans all over the world on large ships and small ships. With river cruises, you can travel the highways of Europe and Russia! I have inspected many ships and personally know executives of a great number of cruise lines – as well as managers and concierges of hotels worldwide. I hold DS (Destination Specialist) status for Europe and Caribbean plus other courses for a variety of destinations and ocean and river cruise lines.  I completed Certified Sandals Specialist  training June 2018. My sales qualified company for Abercrombie & Kent's 100 Club.  My strengths: experience, courtesy, knowledge, attention to detail and going well beyond the expected. Many repeat clients refer their friends who refer others. I have countless happy clients across the country and across pond whom I have never met. I work with groups of one or more, honeymoons, multi-generational travel, incentives, traveling by plane, trains, ships to the places near and far. I am trained to handle complex high-end FIT (Foreign Individual Travel) arrangements to a great number of countries of Asia and Europe. I have visited most countries and personally inspected hundreds of hotels. If you want to travel with others, try an escorted tour. I have lived in London, southwest France, and Vienna. I adore Europe at all times of the year. My new love is Asia: Myanmar, China, Thailand, Laos, Japan, and Vietnam. I was recognized by a luxury tour operator to China, Imperial Tours, as a member of their Imperial Hall of Fame for 2015 and 2016! Clients have been extremely happy with the customized trips to China! Interested in some place closer to home? Hawaii, Caribbean, Costa Rica, or Mexico, I can assist with these destinations too.
