About Me

Vietnam ~ LIke a Dream
Vietnam ~ LIke a Dream

I have two passions in my life — my family and being a travel advisor. So it's probably not surprising that I specialize in booking family adventures. Over the years, I've had the good fortune to travel frequently with my own four children, which has allowed me to accumulate a wealth of real-world knowledge and first-hand experiences that I use to create well-thought-out vacations that will appeal to all generations. For example, I traveled to Costa Rica with multiple generations of my family, we used a tour company that I wanted to get very familiar and they took us all over Costa Rica. I know attractions and activities that would appeal to children all the way to senior travelers in this beautiful country because of that experience. I have also visited CR many other times, including a tour put on by CR's on tourism department which was instrumental in building the wealth of knowledge and tourism resources I have under my belt which can be used to help you plan you next Getaway of a lifetime. 

Another area I enjoy booking is adventure travel. I am a certified Active and Adventure Specialist, which I had to travel to an active destination and learn hands on, all of what Alberta Canada has to offer to get that certification. I truly enjoy helping my clients to explore and immerse themselves in a destination with all of their senses. I am a member of the ATTA which keeps me informed on all the new active+adventure travel trends and destinations. Of course, I know that sometimes we all would rather spend some vacation time just relaxing and recharging which I'm good at as well, destinations that have tranquility and pampering to those in need of that. Truth be told, I am more of a "soft adventure" travel enthusiast myself!

While I have arranged all types of vacations to many different locations, for honeymooners, couples, friend groups, sorority groups, multi-gen family vaca's etc, the following are a few destinations I especially enjoy booking:

  • Australia and New Zealand,
  • Vietnam,
  • Portugal
  • Canada,
  • Hawaii,
  • Disney
  • Greece
  • Ireland
  • Costa Rica,
  • Cruises
  • Beach 
  • and Italy.

Have you been frustrated while trying to book a challenging vacation on your own? No worries, I love a challenge! For example, I have worked successfully with clients who are very particular and selective, those who had no idea where they wanted to go and some who wanted me to spice up their vacation with something different and unexpected. It gives me great pleasure to create customized itineraries that have been personalized to a client's particular travel personality, needs and requests. 

So if you're ready to embark upon your next great adventure, please contact me. I would love to help create that memorable adventure or relaxing vacation you've been dreaming of.
