Bucket List and Adventure Travel Specialist

I am excited to plan a tailor-made vacation or find a tour or cruise that fits your vacation wants! I have personal domestic and international experience and training for multiple types of travel including but not limited to adventure, small group, and all-inclusive. 

I have been fortunate to have been able to travel since I was a baby. I got bit by the travel bug early in life and have been hooked ever since! There are endless beautiful places to see within the United States and territories - so if you don't have a passport, don't worry, I can still plan an amazing vacation for you! Internationally, I have been to 4 of the 7 continents (see my additional bios for more information). 

I love to travel because the world is full of beautiful landscapes, interesting nature and wildlife, different ways of life and cultures, exciting adventures, and more! I love to learn about the environment and natural history of the areas I visit as I studied wildlife biology and natural resources in college. Cultural immersion through experiences, food, and talking with locals makes travel even more special and interesting. 

While at other jobs, before working here, I often found myself in the planning and organizing position for travel. For example, I took on the organization of travel for my ultimate Frisbee club team since I joined the team. I also have been the planner for all of the adventurous trips me and a group of friends take almost every year (from white-water rafting trips to backpacking/hiking trips). After the last un-fulfilling job, I finally decided to do something I enjoyed and become a travel agent. Now, I am trained and have resources to stay up-to-date with information and provide the best service for my clients. 

My Wanderlust Experiences


  • I have lived and traveled all over the United States – it is a dream of mine to visit all 50. My current count is 45 states!

  • I love going to National Parks and experiencing our natural world. 

  • India has a special place in my heart, as I have family in southern India that I try to visit every few years.

  • I studied abroad in New Zealand during college and fell in love with the country and Maori culture. I lived there for about 9 months on South Island.

  • On a group tour in northern Thailand, I learned about the culture through immersive activities and explored a historical park and some nature parks.

  • I have also traveled to Andros (in the Bahamas), Costa Rica, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Paris, France.

A Memory Making Trip

Reviewed By Alison W. - Verona Wisconsin | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
I was nervous going into this process. I had never used a travel agent before, but I knew Burkhalter had been in business for as long as I remember so I turned to them to help me plan the trip. I met Sammy face to face in the office which I really appreciated. She explained about choosing a hotel and Park package that would fit my son and me. My son is 17 and this was our first big trip together and it was my goal to make some great memories for him. All transportation from the airport to the hotel, and the hotel to the parks was amazing and easy. The only hiccup we had was the airline cancelled my plane from my connecting spot to home and we were put on a different flight. Because of that we had a six-and-a-half-hour layover between flights. The airline never contacted me, and Sammy hadn't noticed it until I pointed it out on our final itinerary. At that point it was apparently too late to make any changes. Aside from that we had a great time!
