Travel = JOY

I want your next vacation to be the best one you've ever taken. I feel that my passion for embracing each experience and living in the moment sets me apart from most other travel agents. I prepare clients to slow down and appreciate every moment of their trip, even the long lines! Even frustrating aspects of travel can bring so many opportunities to make new friends who may have helpful tips for you. I encourage clients to enter each situation with a positive attitude and a smile, because travel is a privilege and those we encounter along the way, as we all navigate the human experience, deserve kindness and respect.

Of all the destinations I book, I especially love booking Hawaii because, being from the east coast, it’s a larger-than-life destination. It’s a place you see in movies and dream about, and then when you finally get there you realize that your dreams paled in comparison to the real thing. The amazing beaches, the majestic waterfalls, the sparking ocean, and breathtaking waves--it all leaves you speechless. Another area I love is Europe because it’s like another world. The castles and cathedrals, the beautiful countryside, the rich cultures-- it’s like walking through a history book.

Continuing education is important to me. I want to have the most up-to-date information to give my clients. To that end, I've earned certifications from AmaWaterways, Carnival Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Cunard, Disney Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line and Virgin Cruises, as well as destination certifications with Australia, Alaska, USVI, Antigua & Barbuda and Cayman Islands. I am also an Accredited Cruise Consultant with Cruise Line International Association (CLIA).

I live in Valrico, FL, just outside of Tampa. When I'm not working or traveling, I enjoy reading. Before I could travel to amazing destinations, I would travel in my mind and lose myself in amazing stories. I still love immersing myself in the world created by amazing writers when I’m not traveling. I also enjoy playing games with my family-–simple board or card games, or if I’m feeling techy, Mario Kart.

I look forward to talking with you and learning about your dream vacation. To get started, contact me today.
