As a lifelong lover of travel with a heart for helping others, I now have the honor of using my expertise and care to craft personalized itineraries that create priceless memories. After starting the exchange program for my college that allowed me to live in London and travel the UK for a year, I met another Florida native who had gone on the same program just a year after me. Over twenty-five years later, I am still happily married to that fellow travel lover and have enjoyed many trips with him as well as our three children. Sharing that passion for exploration has meant many excursions together all-over Western Europe and the United States. Since traveling as an ensemble has been and continues to be an integral part of our family life, I’ve had the opportunity to plan trips with immediate and extended family groups that now stretch from infants to young adults as well as their grandparents and friends. When it comes to couple’s travel, I love arranging relaxing and romantic getaways, preferably with a beach involved;). Solo travel is also something I enjoy planning for the unique advantages and challenges that this particular form of tourism can present.

Some of our family’s favorite experiences through the years have been cruising with Royal Caribbean, exploring everything and anything at Universal Orlando, making memories at Walt Disney World, ziplining and white-water rafting in Tennessee, eating beignets in New Orleans, and snorkeling in the Florida Keys - just to name just a few!

Being a Florida native, I've made hundreds of trips to Walt Disney World possible at every age and stage of my life, making this an area in which I shine in helping others plan a trip that will best meet their own unique needs. Besides leveraging my personal experiences, I am also a Disney College of Knowledge graduate. As a definite plus, my agency, Destinations to Explore, is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner. In addition to Disney, my fascination with all things Universal Orlando has meant not only planning experiences for the amazing three “original” parks but actively learning about and embracing all the new possibilities that the Epic Universe park is bringing to Orlando vacationers. Because of this, I am a proud Universal Orlando Resort Specialist and graduate of Universal & U. With all that Orlando has to offer, I was happy to have become an Orlando Expert through Orlando Travel Academy so that I can assist clients in exploring all that this incredible city and its surrounding areas have to offer.

As a home-schooling mom, I have been able to specialize in finding the very best in educational and historical travel in the Southern, Eastern, Southeastern, and Midwestern United States along with Europe and Central America. Sharing this particularly rich form of travel is something I excel at, seeking out the very best ways to engage travelers of all ages in the rich experiences available when exploring the educational sites our great nation and world has to offer. Oftentimes these unique educational offerings can be easily incorporated into a vacation that also offers the leisure of beaches or the majesty of mountains as well as the thrill of theme parks.

It is this love for making and sharing the experiences that traveling the world has provided for my family, my friends, and myself that made me think about becoming a travel agent but it was only after I experienced for myself what a travel adviser could do to make vacationing so much better (and cheaper!) that I decided to finally become one myself.

No matter what the individual characteristics of your trip may be, I am passionate about helping you make the best shareable memories possible. Combine that with the fact that I excel at personalized service, insightful planning, and managing details and you've got an agent you can count on. Contact me today to launch your next adventure!
