Luxury Cruise, Europe, Mexico and Caribbean Expert
My life is travel! I divide my time between planning trips, traveling, and spending time with my family. I also love photography, so traveling and taking pictures make a great combination,
I am a travel agency owner with over 20 years of experience in luxury cruising and customized trips around the world. Through my ongoing relationships with preferred suppliers, I am able to provide exceptional deals and privileged treatment for my guests.
As a European custom travel specialist, I have created over 100 unique trips all over the continent. Whether it’s a journey for a couple, extended family, or a group of friends, I’ll do all of the planning and legwork in advance to provide you the best Europe has to offer.
The tour companies that I work with like Tauck, Tradesco, and Abercrombie & Kent regularly deliver impeccable experiences and service for my most discriminating explorers.
I’ve personally traveled to a dozen countries in Europe, with the majority of my time spent in Italy. I have sent many guests to Italy on custom trips, including cooking classes, winery visits, heritage touring, and more.
An Italian vacation can please anyone, from honeymooners to extended families! You might stay at a restful villa in the countryside, explore romantic Venice during the carnival season, or possibly discover the beautiful lakes district where you could spot George Clooney!
I have also arranged many European river cruise tours on Viking Cruises and AMA Waterways. These lines provide the luxury amenities cruisers expect and offer unmatched access to the quaint villages and towns that dot the Danube, Loire and Rhine.
I’ve also designed combination land-cruise trips with customized itineraries to make the most of your vacation time.
I’m a Luxury Cruise Specialist certified by CLIA (Cruise Line International Association) with personal experience on over 30 cruises and a dozen cruise lines.
Lest you think I only have experience with Europe, let me tell you I’ve traveled extensively to Mexico, the Caribbean and other exotic locations to experience the finest resorts and restaurants first-hand.
My most recent trip took me to Belize. I stayed in two Francis Ford Coppola resorts and snorkeled with stingrays and nurse sharks.
Before I send a couple to a romantic destination, I always ensure they’re going to a place I have seen and approved.
My favorite honeymoon to book? Africa. For a recent honeymoon couple who wanted something exotic, I planned a trip to South Africa. This exceptional journey combined the exciting contrasts of Africa. From private touring in the cosmopolitan city Cape Town to the natural wonders of game drives in Kruger National Park.
This lucky duo saw the "Big Five"—5 astonishing African animals to see in the wild—including leopards at night! Stops included 2 different luxury safari camps and then on to a beach resort in Zanzibar to relax and refresh. I’ve enjoyed sending honeymoon couples to Africa to form memories that will last a lifetime. I can’t wait to go back myself!
Regardless of the occasion, I can take the planning off your plate and arrange the accommodations, transportation, and other details to make it effortless for you. Put me to work on your next trip and see the difference a customized vacation can make in your life!
My clients expect top-notch service and I deliver! I like to keep my business small, which allows me to provide superior customer service to each individual.
Contact me and you'll understand what makes Prestige a preferred travel resource for discerning travelers.

"Thank you so much for everything you did for our honeymoon. We couldn’t have asked for a better travel agent. Everything was taken care of; we literally had to worry about nothing! This is huge when you’re planning a wedding and have really no time to focus on anything else. Costa Rica was such a great experience! If it weren’t for the packages you showed us, my wife and I probably would have missed out on some great adventu
