Hawaii, Europe, and Solo Travel Specialist

Standing Stones of Scotland
Standing Stones of Scotland

I have been traveling nationally and internationally for the past 25+ years. 

I have traveled extensively solo, as a couple, as a family of 5, and with  multi-generations on a trip to visit areas of ancestral significance.

My favorite destinations are the Hawaiian Islands, especially the Big Island, Kauai, Maui, and the North Shore of Oahu. Each offers a different atmosphere and I'm happy to advise my clients about the best island or islands for them.

Europe and the UK are also great for cultural and historical trips and you can feel free to ask me about everything from Castle stays in Scotland to Historical sites throughout the UK and Europe.

I have recently been booking lots of rail inclusive trips and tours throughout Europe and I will be escorting a private group of 20 through Ireland, Scotland, and Wales in 2025.
