After years of teaching the youngest learners from all corners of the world, I am thrilled to utilize my organizational skills to offer my clients unique travel experiences for the most incredible and memorable vacations. 

Travel has always been a love of mine since my first high school job with O'Hare International Travel.  I have seen the positive changes in the industry and am delighted to have rejoined the world of travel in 2019. As a luxury travel advisor at The Royal Journey, I provide the support and guidance needed throughout the entire travel planning process. I combine my knowledge and expertise, along with connections to my dedicated travel partners in various destinations throughout the world. My well-developed organizational, research and communication skills allow me to create unique travel experiences and dream vacations for my clients. I have a long list of "Specialist" Certificates and Trainings for destinations around the globe. You pick the location, and I will get you there in style! 

I received my Bachelor of Arts from Northern Illinois University and my Master of Education from DePaul University. I was a teacher for many years prior to working in the travel industry. My most recent travel certifications include Certified Travel Associate (CTA) & Certified Luxury Specialist. 

I am excited to collaborate with you and help to create the trip of a lifetime!

Luxury Travel

Maureen in The Burren, County Clare Ireland 2022

After recently returning from our luxury wellness trip in Mexico, I am well versed in honing in on the many details that make each trip unique and special for  groups, couples, families and individual travelers. 

In addition to planning luxury family travel and opulent couples getaways, I  also love working with multi-generational families and groups that truly value their time together, trip experiences and special extras that they receive when they utilize my services!

My specialty is working with couples, families and groups who are interested in high-end travel with top-notch accommodations, private or small group tours and personalized travel benefits. Allow me to assist with your next dream vacation!
