When I was 9 years old, my dad handed me a road atlas, Mobil Travel Guides and hotel directories and asked if I was interested in helping with plans for our summer vacation to Yellowstone National Park. I accepted his offer, and the rest is, well, history. To date, my passion for travel has taken me to 45 states – plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands – and 25 countries/island countries and 3 continents (and been less than a mile from a fourth).

Whether you want to go across the state, across the country or across the ocean, I give special attention to what you are looking for and what is important to you. So if you want to traverse the Venice canals with a gondolier, take in the sweeping views from Machu Picchu, bask in the Caribbean sun, enjoy the sunset from your overwater bungalow in the south Pacific, soak in the geothermal water of Iceland’s Blue Lagoon, ride a camel past the Great Pyramids of Giza, walk the busy Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo, snorkel or dive Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, return the gaze of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, shop one of the European Christmas markets, or – as I did at age 9 – take in all that nature has to offer in Yellowstone, let my experience and knowledge make your travel dreams come true.

And as we like to say at Travel Leaders, “When your journey from a dream to a story includes us, you travel better.”
