Travel Adventures
With over 30 years of experience in the travel industry, I’ve had the privilege of exploring destinations across the globe — from Argentina, Thailand, and the Philippines to Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Korea, Portugal, Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, and much of the Caribbean and Mexico, to name just a few.
Some of my most memorable travel experiences have been luxury cruise vacations with Crystal, Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn, Silversea, and Uniworld.
I’m committed to staying informed and inspired, taking every opportunity to personally inspect cruise ships, visit resorts, and explore new destinations to better serve my clients.
