Livingstone Game Drive, Zambia, Africa

I am grateful that I prioritized my passion for travel while working before retirement, which spans over 73 countries.  Three and a half years ago, I embarked on a new chapter of my life as an independent travel advisor following a long and fulfilling career. My journey into the world of travel was fueled by a passion for exploration and a desire to connect with like-minded individuals who shared my passion for discovering the world.Specializing in River, Ocean, Expedition cruising, and Land packages, I learned to prioritize experiences over budgets. The most cost-effective way may not be the best way. I believe in the transformative power of travel and advocate splurging on bucket-list adventures that etch extraordinary memories to last a lifetime. My mantra is: don't wait for retirement or the illusion of "enough money"—seize the opportunity now —don't wait because you never know what tomorrow brings. I have explored exotic and distant corners of the globe, with past travels weaving through Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Egypt, South and East Africa, the Middle East, Antarctica, and the Arctic, among other mesmerizing destinations.While I approach my business with dedicated professionalism, the key lies in trust between the advisor and the client. I engage personally with my "travelers," not clients but fellow wanderers. Every interaction is an opportunity to learn more about the traveler's past experiences, uncover their preferences, and understand the reasons for their destination choices. Capturing the essence of their "why" enables me to unveil hidden gems and uncharted territories that resonate with their aspirations on a deeper level. Transitioning from a seasoned traveler to a diligent travel advisor wasn't without its learning curves. Navigating the industry demanded a shift from being a consumer to a provider, emphasizing the art of attentive listening, transparency, and expectation-setting. Embracing the inevitability of travel hiccups, I anchor trust as the cornerstone of our relationship – assuring my travelers that even amidst unforeseen challenges,  I am committed to solutions and will do everything I can to make it right. The true reward in this dynamic industry lies in witnessing travelers returning home with experiences that surpass their expectations. As I carefully scale my traveler base to align with my personalized approach, I derive immense joy from nurturing relationships with those who share my passion and willingness to try something new. Join me in embarking on a voyage of discovery, where each adventure unfolds as a testament to the enduring magic of travel.
