About Me

Wellness, Active & Relaxation Travel Specialist

As a Certified Travel Advisor with The Travel Institute and a specialist in Active & Adventure Travel, Iceland, Croatia, and wellness-focused journeys, I help travelers create trips that support both movement and mindfulness. I design personalized itineraries for individuals, couples, and groups that balance physical activity, cultural immersion, and downtime—whether that’s hiking scenic trails, exploring local markets, practicing yoga by the ocean, or simply lounging at a spa or beach. My goal is to craft trips that nourish body, mind, and spirit, fostering connection, curiosity, and personal growth—or just giving you the chance to rest, recharge, and do nothing at all. From solo adventures to milestone celebrations and small group excursions, I take care of the planning so you can focus on exploring, moving, relaxing, and truly experiencing your destinations. Let’s turn your next adventure—or well-deserved pause—into a journey that energizes, restores, and inspires.

Stress-free travel

I get overwhelmed when traveling and I am not good with apps. Jaime send me color coded copies of everything so I would have all info and know what to expect. She is very organized and communicates well. She even had my favorite wine waiting for me in my room so that I was sure to have a relaxed, stress free trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Pigeon Island Trails

Chasing Views: Hiking for Mind and Body

There’s something transformative about reaching the top of a trail, standing above the world, and pausing to take it all in. Hiking is about movement, yes—but it’s also about perspective, both literally and figuratively. The right view can shift your mind, calm your body, and give space for reflection. Over the years, I’ve discovered some truly ...
