Need a vacation- I have a destination! What makes you dream big? Travel- is what makes me tick- planning, executing, and creating memories with friends, couples, families, multi-generational reunions and destination weddings.

Graduating with a Bachelor's of Science from Penn State University in the Hotel, Restaurant, Institutional management field, I have 25 years' experience in the hospitality, customer service and event planning industry. I am a Florida Disney College Program graduate with an internship in the year 2000 during the Epcot Millennium celebration- and have an expertise in family thrill and experiential theme park vacations as well as young families seeking budget friendly all- inclusive resort traveling. While in the hotel industry my background was extended stay travel which goes hand and hand with recently helping multi-generational families rent condos, vacation homes and apartment style facilities for reunions, weddings and retie the knot ceremonies. Planning over 200+ events in the last 10 years, I am meticulously detailed in making sure the vision of your travel plans will be encompassed every step of the way.

I chose this profession to share experiences, challenge myself, and dive into adventures, not to look back and winder "if." A personal goal of mine is to visit places I have seen as a child with my kids as well as try new destinations. I do understand adhering to a budget when traveling as a family and orchestrating 3 kids' needs throughout your travel days. My extensive hotel education, I realize that travel is a 24 hour business- I'm at your service when things get difficult prior, during and after travel as well as when you are confidant and ready to book your dream vacation immediately. Building creative itineraries, brainstorming, sharing stories, conveying "must see" places of the desired travel adventure are passions of mine. I love listening to my client's needs/wants and helping them discover maybe what they don't even realize they need/want or could even imagine dreaming. A drive of mine is helping families with kids focus on efficient, easy travel and extended family members. I strive to help parents see vacations through their kids' eyes- it's a truly magical happening!

When growing up, my parents believed in taking my brother and I to as many places in the domestic U.S.A as well as international travel. Some of the overseas European places I have traveled as young as a teenager were London, Germany, Brussels-Belgium and Paris. Seeing many of these tourist attractions in the raw- I know which ones that need to be on your hit list. I have also traveled extensively in the domestic U.S as well- including Las Vegas in 2019, Texas- San Antonio, Austin and Lake Travis, Wyoming- white water rafting down the Snake River, watching the beautiful Yellowstone Geysers blast off, a real west rodeo and overlooking the Grand Teton Mountains and hiking around Jenny Lake. In October 2021 we will visit Albuquerque New Mexico's Balloon Fiesta where 1000's of hot air balloons will take flight daily for 10 days annually in October. I have also visited 2 Hawaiian Islands in 2003- Waikiki Beach and the capital Honolulu on the island of Oahu and the famous town of Lahaina on the island of Maui. Spending summers with my family on the east coast we enjoyed- Atlantic City, Rehoboth, Ocean City, Outer Banks, Myrtle and Virginia Beaches. Being a mom of 3 young kids, I know the importance of having time with friends; planning an annual Girlfriends Getaway/Bachlor-ette Party travels sparks my creative side- either it be a Sandals/Beaches which is truly all-inclusive vacation or a small weekend getaway with ability to organize foodie dining spots, spa services and explore local attractions- it is sure to be a great time. 

In recent times, I have planned an all-encompassing trip throughout Alaska for 9 people. Needing a highly detailed itinerary for the entire state in 12 days, I had private tours of their specific agenda- Glacier Bay by helicopter, private salmon fishing charter in Ketchikan, Wildlife day cruise on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaskan Railroad- Dome car through Denali National Park, jet boat safari through Talkeetna, and traveling up as far as Fairbanks as well as to the other side to the state capital of Juneau. This itinerary included several different modes of transportation for the ultimate experience- car, rail, cruise, boat, ferry, helicopter and airplane.

Please allow me to brainstorm, learn and set specific goals with you for each travel experience. We will dive into your dreams, however big, small, complicated or simple the trip- I love to hear, play and plan along with you as you enjoy new areas of the world. 

Efficient Vacation Planning & Bucket List Travel

Plitvice Lakes National Park- Croatia- Europe

I enjoy the finnier things in life, epic experiences and hand in hand with cultured, international, domestic and local attractions, I believe everyone should be given the opportunity to travel. I have focused on retired couples wanting to enjoy luxury culture cruises to Eastern Europe. I have personal drive for Adult-only adventure and bucket list trips with immersing excursions as well as intense relaxation spot. I enjoy exploring different cultures that clients may only see once in a lifetime. In 2009, I had the opportunity travel 1 month in Bosnia/Croatia, immersing myself in the culture, while traveling like a tourist, but living like family. When needing chill time, all inclusive- Mexico, Rivera Cancun and Dominican Republic hot spots.
