Specializing in Family, Adventure, & Cruise Travel

From my family summer vintage vacations to places such as Ruby Falls and an unforgettable trip at age 19 to the French Riviera with the four most influential women in my life, travel has always been a passion of mine! The details and the planning exhilarated me as much as making the journeys themselves. Especially ones like I planned and executed March 2023, an emotional adventure to Joshua Tree National Park and beyond in memory of my son Kameron. Once i had my own little family, we made our memories in Seaside, Florida and my two boys favorite I am often reminded is the family cruise we took to Mexico.
