Cruise and Group Travel Specialist
After going on a wonderful family vacation brilliantly planned by a travel advisor, I felt an undeniable pull towards the profession. My clientele is largely comprised of mature millennials and older individuals who have grown weary of standard travel options. These clients want more, whether it’s an exclusive suite or a personalized land tour, and many travel with their teenage children or groups of friends.
I love curating trips that immerse travelers in their surroundings, propelling them from mere spectators to active participants. This can range from preset journeys to tailored experiences, brimming with historical, cultural, and adventurous experiences. For cruises, I love organizing trips that offer numerous port and minimal sea days. My goal is to discover and fulfill my clients’ dream vacation. This commitment ensures that when wanderlust grips my clients, I'm poised with the right knowledge to guide them to their perfect travel match.
