About Me

The Danube, Budapest
The Danube, Budapest

I have been in the travel industry for 20 years creating memorable travel experiences and leading a team of travel curators.  I feel that it is critical to be well travelled and to have a well travelled team so that we can provide our clients with a level of detail that is exemplary.  

I have had to pleasure of achieving many awards throughout my career including top performers, top sales for AM Resorts, Karisma Resorts, Diamond Awards with Karisma Resorts, Top Sales in Travel Insurance both individually and as an agency.  I have also won top improved sales for RIU Resorts and a Diamond Award with Hard Rock Hotels.  During my career I became passionate about cruising both on oceans and rivers.  With that said I won top sales with AMAWaterways.  

Leading and escorting groups around the world is another passion, I have successfully escorted many Destination Wedding Groups throughout the Caribbean and leisure/cruising groups in both the Caribbean and throughout Europe.

I am often asked what is my favourite destination.  That is so very difficult as the world is a beautiful place.  So there isn't any particular one but here are a few.

  • St. Lucia
  • Austria
  • Germany
  • Italy
  • Portugal
  • Punta Cana to go and simply rest on a beautiful beach

My memories throughout my career have been so spectacular from renewing my own wedding vows under a sky of fireworks at Moon Palace in Cancun to being on the first flight into a new airport in Panama and meeting the President to sleeping in an open air suite looking at the Pitons in St. Lucia.  My favourite would be drinking champagne while sailing down the Danube seeing the lights of the Parliament buildings in Budapest.

I look forward to the opportunity to make your travel dreams a reality!
