Like anyone who joins the travel industry, I have always loved to travel. Growing up as a not-so-rich kid in a big state we did many road trips. My parents would pack u the car with me and my younger and older brother and away we would go. The funny thing about it is that as kids we didn’t know where we were going, and I rarely remember even asking. I just wanted a window seat so I could see the world passing by.

Flash forward to adulthood and I still want the window seat on planes so I can watch the world go by. I still enjoy plane rides and spending time immersing myself in a destination, but I have discovered my passion for cruising. On a cruise, I am still that little girl looking out the window. Well, actually I am either sitting on the balcony or lounging at the wake amazed by the beauty and sounds of the ocean. Cruising for me is more than one destination because the ship itself is a destination. I love the opportunity of waking up in a different county every morning. Spending time at sea for me is paradise. I will admit to being a bit of a culture junkie. I love beaches as much as anyone else, I also enjoy reading the history of the locations I visit. This is the reason I decided to join the travel industry. I have been planning and scheduling trips for family and friends for years. I have always done more than just make reservations; I made itineraries. I tailored trips for whoever asked. I did not realize at the time I was developing the skills that I would need to be a successful cruise-advisor.

I honestly wish that I could say that I have many, many years of cruise experience, but I don’t. What I lack in experience I make up for in knowledge. I study cruise lines, ports of call, and excursions. What I want for every client is exactly what I expect of myself and that is to have an amazing travel experience. I want them to participate in all the fun activities aboard the ship as well as discover those quiet spaces that can be found even on the most crowded vessel. Cruising is more than beaches, there are cooking classes and dancing classes with locals. You should never be board on a cruise unless you want, and I can help with that as well. I believe even if you have never thought about a cruise there is still a perfect ship for everyone. It’s my task to find that cruise. My goal is to make sure clients have an experience not only to remember but they will seek to do it again and again.
