The ambiance of Albufeira, Portugal

My passion for travel has lead me to this career of helping others create their own memorable travel experiences.  I love working with clients to understand their travel interests and help plan a trip that makes the most of their time and vacation budget.  

My travel experience in Asia, Europe, North, Central and South America provides me with a background to offer insider tips and suggestions.  The ongoing training and networking in the travel industry positions me to help my clients get the most up to date options available to them.  

My areas of specialized training include customized Group, Active and Adventure travel, River cruising, but as a life long learner and explorer I work hard to keep up with all the trends and suppliers of fabulous vacations.
