I am a Professional Travel Planner and Leisure Travel specialist, so whether you’re dreaming of a magical trip with the family, a romantic escape with your love, or a relaxing getaway with your girlfriends, I can make it happen.

I hope you’ll see something here to inspire your next adventure. I love exploring the beauty of different places around the world. There is something about planning and going on a trip, even if it’s a place I’ve visited many times before, that brings me so much joy! Along with my husband and travel partner, Mike, I’m on a mission to discover new hidden gems and revisit my favorite vacation spots.
