Luxury, Exotic, and Group Travel
I like to think of myself as a citizen of the world. I have traveled around the world three times, to all seven continents, visited more than 250 destinations worldwide, have lived abroad, and am fluent in four languages. I have been in the travel industry my entire professional career, and for the past 15 years have specialized in the marketing of travel services both domestic and international.
My goal is to always provide clients with high quality, unique, luxurious, and memorable travel experiences. With our own dedicated staff, my team can coordinate our tour products while maintaining close working relations with our partners. These relationships ensure superior service and exceptionally competitive pricing.
I have a genuine passion for curating leisure travel experiences that cater to both individuals seeking personal adventures and small groups looking to create shared memories. Within my expertise, I assist with a diverse range of travel types. Whether you're drawn to thrilling adventures that test your limits, yearning to explore the rich tapestry of global cuisines, or seeking the allure of exotic destinations, my goal is to bring your dreams to life.
For those with an appreciation for the finer things, I offer opportunities to indulge in luxury and sophistication, crafting romantic getaways that kindle flames and wellness retreats that restore your spirit. For those who are called by the wild, I can help you explore nature with immersive photo safaris, and my commitment to sustainable travel ensures that every journey respects the environment and cultures you encounter.
I also arrange travel for corporate travel, events, and meetings. From selecting the ideal venues, to ensuring flawless execution, to handling all attendee accommodations, my goal is to elevate each event into an impactful occasion. Regardless of your preferred travel style, I am commited to delivering exceptional quality and remarkable value. Your travel aspirations are my priority, and I'm here to craft experiences that exceed your expectations.
In my career, I have held executive positions with American Airlines, China Airlines, Alitalia Airlines, Spirit Airlines, National Car Rental, Tripmate, and the Travelers Insurance Companies.
