25+ Years of Experience

Groups, Dive travel, Disney, Cruises, Europe

In the 80's, while teaching high school English, I began organizing adventure trips for my friends - ski, scuba diving and white water rafting. After several years, I’d built a good client base and decided to retire my red grading pen and do something more fun. Since life is short and the world is large, it also became my mission to see as much of it as possible. So far I’ve traveled to six continents, over 70 countries and island nations, 48 states, and I’m still working through my bucket list. I like to think of myself as a traveled agent, not just a travel agent. I’m a seeker, an educator, an organizer, a mother hen, and I love nothing better than exposing my friends to the world at large. 

I have many specialties, among them dive travel. I’ve been diving for over 30 years, have logged almost 1000 dives, and have several advanced certifications. If scuba is your passion, let me help you blow bubbles in some of the most fabulous spots under the ocean.

I love booking Europe as well, and having seen over half of the European countries, I feel comfortable sharing my list of restaurants, concerts, shopping places, etc. 

I also love booking exotic destinations, such as driving trips around New Zealand, bures in Fiji, hikes to Machu Picchu, elephant treks in Thailand, floats down the Yangtze River, and so much more.

Another specialty is groups. I book over 12 groups a year, including cruises, escorted bus trips around the world, and destination weddings. 

With many resources and experience, I can offer my clients personalized customer service, a personalized experience and excellent value. When travel time and travel dollars are at a premium, why leave anything to chance?
