Isola Bella, Lake Maggiore, Italy

Having explored many corners of the world over the last three decades, I'm passionate about helping my clients discover the world's most memorable places. My business exists to take the headache out of travel planning.

I spent nearly 20 years practicing law before pursuing my true calling in the travel industry. What do these professions have in common? Research. Details. Expertise. And let's not discount the value of excellent client communication. With my extensive knowledge and experience researching destinations, I'm here to take the hassle out of planning so you can simply enjoy your travel experience.

As owner of the Enchanted Valise Travel Agency, I help busy professionals, families and couples plan bucket list trips. My unique expertise lies in:

• Cruises (ocean, river and expedition - all brands)
• Disney vacations (Walt Disney World, Disneyland & Disneyland Paris)
• Group travel (including faith-based, destination weddings, and multi-generational travel/family reunions)
• All-inclusive resorts such as Sandals in the Caribbean, and ClubMed in Europe
• Custom Europe itineraries 
• Escorted tours to any destination in the world
• Travel insurance

As a lifelong resident of the Pacific Northwest, I am uniquely positioned to advise my clients on visits to Oregon and Washington. Some of my favorite home state destinations are the Oregon Coast, Columbia River Gorge, Mt. Hood, Bend/Central Oregon, and Ashland, home to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. In neighboring Washington, I can assist clients wishing to visit Mount Rainier, Leavenworth, the San Juan Islands, and Spokane. Come visit the Pacific Northwest and I will share my knowledge of this beautiful region with you!

My love for Europe grew out of living there for two years. I take pride in planning personalized, immersive vacations for my clients in England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, and Croatia. When you spend enough time in a place, it starts to feel like a second home. Paris and London have become my intimate friends, and I love sharing my in-depth knowledge of these cities in particular with my clients. 

Are you looking to visit a tropical locale? I am a Certified Sandals and Beaches Specialist and can advise you on which of their numerous all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean would best suit your budget and interests. My destination knowledge in the Caribbean extends to Mexico (Cabo and Cancun area resorts), Grand Cayman, Jaimaica, Dominican Republic, Curacao, St. Thomas, Bahamas, and Turks & Caicos. If it's the South Pacific you're interested in, some of my favorite destinations to recommend are Tahiti, New Zealand and Fiji. I am also well equipped to advise clients on the islands of Hawaii--Oahu, the Big Island, Kauai, and Maui--where we love to spend our own family vacations and play golf. Being married to a former PGA golf pro has its benefits!

As the mother of two children, you better believe that if we are anywhere near Disneyland, Walt Disney World, or Disneyland Paris, we'll be stopping in to visit the parks! (In fact, I've been known to visit Disney on multiple occasions even without the kids!) With the increasing complexity of park reservations, Lightning Lanes, Genie+, dining reservations, early entries, after hours events, and an overwhelming array of lodging options, using a travel advisor to help plan your Disney trip is more important than ever. I absolutely love planning magical Disney vacations for my clients, especially enchanting sailaways on Disney Cruise Line. 

Travel is my passion. And planning enchanting trips that result in lifelong memories is my goal. When you book a trip with me, not only will you receive my signature concierge service, but you won't pay a dime extra for it. Let me take care of the time-consuming details while you focus on finding that suitcase (or valise, as the French say) that's been collecting dust on your shelf.

Whatever the reason you’re traveling, I've got you covered. Your travel dreams are in excellent hands. Let me be your guide as you uncover the beauty and adventure that awaits.

I invite you to read my reviews to learn what my clients have to say about working with me.
