About Me

With over 30 years of firsthand global travel experience, I specialize in crafting exceptional trips throughout Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and Mexico. As a certified travel professional affiliated with Travel Leaders Network, I provide clients with exclusive access to preferred luxury suppliers, private villas, premier river cruise lines, and world-class ocean cruise partners.  Through these established relationships, my clients enjoy VIP privileges such as room upgrades, curated shore excursions, and personalized experiences designed to elevate every journey beyond the expected.

In addition to my personal travel, I am a former high school history and theology teacher, which allows me to bring unique depth and context to the itineraries I design.  I'm also a long time homeschooling parent who has sought out niche travel experiences to support our educational goals.   

For history enthusiasts, I will put true effort into each destination — transforming sightseeing into true understanding through carefully curated resources ahead of your trip.  As a practicing Catholic and long time catechist, I can plan meaningful trips that combine spiritual significance along with exposure to new places and cultures, that allow the universality of the Church to shine.  

My background in Event Planning further enhances every itinerary with reality, because it's prepared me for the "Oh NO!"  And if that happens, I've got it, for you. 

My goal is simple: to create personal, refined, intellectually/spiritually enriching, yet relaxing travel that is seamless for you.  We're in it together.  

Thailand, Catholic Catechist, Homeschool

I've traveled in S.E. Asia extensively, particularly in Thailand with four, month long visits each time.  With immediate family from Bangkok, I know many hidden gems and places to visit country wide that are off the beaten track.  

As a practicing Catholic in the Arlington, VA diocese, I can help add elements to your itinerary that will allow you to engage and celebrate your faith while away from home.
