Meet Your Travel Advisor
I’ve always loved travel, but not just for the sights or the bucket list moments. What hooked me early on were the small, unexpected glimpses into local life. My first international trip was at age 11, and even then, I was more intrigued by the everyday rhythm of a new place than the big-ticket sights. Those early experiences, like navigating the London Underground or staying in a family-run B&B, left a lasting impression and shaped the kind of traveler I’ve become.
Fast forward to now, and I’ve made that love of travel my full-time work. As a travel advisor, I help clients plan experiences that go deeper than the typical tourist path. I gravitate toward small-ship cruising because it’s one of the best ways to slow down and really connect with a destination.
Why I Do What I Do
I’m a planner. Color-coded spreadsheets, packing lists, backup plans for the backup plans. And while that drives my family a little nuts, it turns out it’s exactly the skillset you want in someone handling your vacation. I don’t just book trips – I help you choose the small-ship cruise that fits your travel style, then take care of the rest, from pre-cruise plans to onboard extras.
Whether you’re curious about your first river cruise, dreaming of Antarctica, or just want someone to sort through all the noise and point you toward the right experience, that’s what I’m here for.
These Days…
My own travel style has shifted. I still love adventure, but I also appreciate a smooth embarkation process and a balcony view. Small-ship cruising has become my preferred way to travel, it lets me explore the world in a more relaxed, immersive way, and it’s what I recommend for most of my clients, whether they’re solo, with a partner, or part of a hosted group.
If you’re craving that same kind of experience, something more personal, more enriching, and a lot less crowded, I’d love to help you plan it.
