About Me

Beach Vacation Specialist

I started as a receptionist at a brick-and-mortar agency right out of high school. Within six months, I was thrust into booking my first airline ticket, and from that moment, there was no turning back. What drives me is my clientele — particularly those who recognize the value of a professional touch. I revel in the joy of assisting first-time travelers and aiding multi-generational families in crafting enduring memories. My heart leans towards planning trips to Hawaii; the diversity of the islands requires an experienced touch to tailor the ideal itinerary, and I pride myself on doing just that. What distinguishes me in this field is my commitment to curating a full-circle experience for my clients — from the thrill of anticipation, through the joys of the journey, to the treasure of timeless memories. With me, clients don't just get a trip; they receive a tailored experience accompanied by the reassurance of a professional safeguarding every step.

Contrary to my usual habits, I deliberately refrained from researching Croatia beforehand, seeking genuine wonder at every juncture. And the country did not disappoint. Each island we anchored at emanated a disti...
