Alaska and Ocean Cruise Specialist
I have been in the travel industry for 7 years and have extensive personal knowledge of cruising in the Caribbean, Mexico and Alaska. I love to help families and couples travel to build precious memories together!
I absolutely love cruising ... pack once .. unpack once... visit many different ports in different countries... all food included, entertainment, no cleaning, cooking or making my bed for the whole trip! I love to have the option of packing my days with non-stop activities or doing absolutely nothing!
I love to snorkel, walk the beaches, talk to the locals, eat local cuisine and experience the culture.
Alaska is one of the most majestic places on earth ... From the mountains, the glaciers, whale watching, spotting the beautiful eagles, moose, elk and reindeer.... the cute little puffins, humorous sea lions and sea otters... visiting locals and eating fresh Halibut, King Crab, Salmon and reindeer sausage... shopping all the little towns of Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and visiting the Yukon Territory where the most beautiful lake I've ever seen is ... Emerald Lake!
I have many places on my "Bucket (Book-it) List" ... I would love to help you get a head start on your "Book-it List"... Please email me today for personal, detailed attention to helping you plan the best trip ever!
Asta Verified Travel Advisor
Lighthouse Beach - Ocean Cay Marine Reserve
Education is important to me so when the industry was at a stand still, I decided to continue my education and I was able to take a specialized program through Asta to become a Verified Travel Advisor. During that time of transition for all travel ... it was a refreshing time to brush up on skills and to learn new skills to better assist my clients. I am currently working toward ACC in the CLIA Cruise Counsellor Accreditation Program!
I would love to help you plan your wonderful vacation! Please contact me for a free quote!
