Greetings, fellow explorers! I'm here to share my journey from that pivotal moment in December 1991 when I took my first flight and embarked on a European family adventure. Little did I know that this voyage would ignite a lifelong passion for travel, culture, and discovery.

Touching down in Amsterdam, I was captivated by the foreign language, the crisp European winter, and the enchanting Christmas traditions. The unfamiliar sights, sounds, and scents were exhilarating, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience.

Our journey led us to windmills, my father's birthplace, and along the captivating Rhine River. Germany's Christmas markets, brimming with gluhwein, lebkuchen, and our cherished crepes, left an indelible mark.

France welcomed us with its charming cobblestone streets, where the aroma of fresh croissants and baguettes wafted from nearby boulangeries. Glimpsing the Parisian skyline with the Eiffel Tower took my breath away.

From those inaugural steps into the world, I seized every opportunity to become a world traveler:

  • 1995: Two months exploring India's diverse landscapes and vibrant cities.
  • 2000: A six-week coach tour across 16 European countries, from England to Belgium.
  • 2003: An all-inclusive resort on the Red Sea and an Egyptian adventure to Cairo and beyond.
  • 2005: My first cruise, a 7-day Eastern Caribbean voyage on the Radisson Diamond.
  • And a myriad of experiences too numerous to list!

Cruising quickly became my favorite mode of travel. Yet, between these maritime escapes, I explored extensively across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Along this journey, I found love, got married in 2019, and relocated to the USA.

While the pandemic paused our adventures, it only intensified my passion. Thus, I took the leap to start my own travel agency. My mission is simple: to kindle your love for exploration and craft dream vacations that resonate with your heart's desires.

I'm thrilled to help you embark on your own world journey, curating experiences that capture the essence of each destination. Let's work together to transform your travel dreams into unforgettable memories. Your adventure begins now!

Back to Cruising the Caribbean

We booked our first cruise since the pandemic with Nadine at Ovations Travel and we cannot say how happy we were with the service we received. From the quote all the way through to when we returned home she ensured we were kept up to date and understood everything we needed to do. We would absolutely recommend Ovations Travel to anyone booking their next vacation.
