Europe and Cruise GroupsTravel Specialist

Greece is where my heart is!

My love for travel stems from its ability to take us out of our comfort zones and inspire us to see, taste, and try new things. It constantly challenges us to adapt to and explore new surroundings, engage with different people, embrace adventures, and share meaningful experiences with friends and loved ones. Having retired from law enforcement in Kentucky, my retirement opened the door to exploring the world, and I am dedicated to showing others the rejuvenating power of travel, even through weekend getaways.

I specialize in crafting unforgettable travel experiences across Europe, with a particular focus on Greece. As a Certified Travel Agent (CTA) and a proud member of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA), my expertise spans both budget and luxury travel, catering to solo travelers, groups, and multigenerational families. My passion lies in food and wine, history, adventure touring, including visits to UNESCO sites, and organizing cruise travel.

With a meticulous approach to planning and organizing travel itineraries, I excel in attention to detail, time management, and juggling multiple client bookings simultaneously. My ten years of experience have allowed me to build strong relationships with clients and suppliers, enabling me to provide top-notch service. My goal is to ensure every client has a memorable and fulfilling travel experience that aligns with their dreams and goals.

Greece holds a special place in my heart. I have visited many times, experiencing everything from cruises and tours to staying in various cities like Meteora, Glyfada, Athens, Piraeus, Cape Sojourn, and Corinth. I've explored numerous islands, including Crete, Milos, Santorini, Mykonos, Corfu, Rhodes, and Hydra, and have organized private tours to multiple UNESCO sites and other popular spots. My deep connection with Greece extends to spending up to two months at a time there, building relationships with locals to gain deeper insights into the culture and lifestyle.

In addition to Greece, I have traveled extensively around the world, always seeking out lesser-known places, tasting local cuisine, and engaging with the local communities. This approach allows me to provide my clients with authentic and enriching travel experiences. My extensive knowledge and experience are backed by multiple certifications from suppliers, covering cruises, all-inclusive resorts, group travel, Disney, air and rail suppliers, travel insurance, and hotels. I also hold specialist certifications for Africa, Australia, Europe, the US, Alaska, New Zealand, and Italy.

One of my most memorable planning experiences involved a group trip to Greece. The itinerary included a week-long cruise, a single-day three-island private cruise, and additional excursions for early and extended stays. Planning and executing these tours myself fueled my passion and excitement for travel planning. Greece has truly become my second home, and I cherish every opportunity to share its beauty and culture with others.

My ability to handle unexpected travel disruptions is a testament to my commitment to client satisfaction. When a family of twelve faced flight cancellations on their way to Walt Disney World, I swiftly secured rental vehicles, arranged hotel accommodations, and adjusted their entire ten-day itinerary, ensuring a seamless travel experience despite the challenges.

Beyond my professional life, I am passionate about photography, reading, riding, running, and most importantly, spending time with my daughter. As she grows older, I strive to create meaningful moments with her, sharing my love for travel and exploration.
