Hvar, Croatia

   The world has a lot to offer and I have been lucky enough to experience many of these places, people, and cultures.  But there are so many yet to explore!  My love of travel has led me to recently begin a new adventure as a travel consultant with Travel Orchestra, LLC!  I am passionate about helping others bring their travel dreams to life.

   I am an active Occupational Therapist and have a keen interest in facilitating recreation and leisure as one of life's most important facets.  Without there being a balance between work and play, what would life be like?  Not very fulfilling nor very balanced.  I am committed to helping all clients create their own balance and am prepared to facilitate accessible travel options based on ability. For example, if you use a wheelchair for mobility and need an itinerary to meet your needs?  I am your person!  If you are a member of the LGBTQ community and want wholly inclusive travel destination and community?  I am your person!  I will help anyone create their best life through travel.  

   My areas of specialty travel are Africa, particularly African safaris and big game rehabilitation sanctuaries,The Americas (North, Central and South), Scandinavian, Caribbean, and European travel.  I have a keen interest in sustainable and eco-tourism, local food and wine, architecture, fine arts, and music.  I hold a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and am here to help plan trips revolving around art, architecture, literature, and history. 

   As an avid lover of nature and outdoor enthusiast, I will help you plan your best hiking, camping, kayaking, National Park, or other outdoor adventure trips.  There is nothing else like time spent in Mother Nature's beauty, alone, or with others. I have hiked the Inca Trail in Peru, spent time at the top of Table Mountain in South Africa, visited salt mines in Austria, rafted white waters in Slovenia, and experienced many other outdoor treasures the world has to offer. Many of the UNESCO World Heritage sites require a good deal of outdoor activity and can be wonderful destinations for trips. I am a Certified National Geographic Journeys Specialist with G Adventures and am working hard to try and promote sustainable travel and tourism as much as I can.
