About Me

Cruise Enthusiast and Leisure Travel Advisor

As a foodie at heart I love finding the best local cuisines at a location to share with those who also enjoy a great bite to eat. I also love cruising to dabble in great locations that I will eventually come back to explore in depth and have been fortunate to cruise through Europe and the Mexican Riviera. I hope to help you find the best destination and experience to make your vacation unforgettable.

Reviewed By ED - Seattle | Traveled to Honolulu, Oahu | Hawaii | USA
We returned from our trip this last April. As I find myself coming back to Ellie again, I know it was worth mentioning what a wonderful experience she gave us! I began explaining my anxiety with travel, not having been on a plane in almost 20 years. Ellie took care of absolutely everything! I'm so profoundly grateful for her attention to detail, and her consistent tolerance of my continued questions. Our trip was so easy to navigate, I am looking to plan our next trip with Ellie as our guide!
