Travel has shaped my life in meaningful ways long before it became my work. As a military veteran, I lived overseas in Okinawa and South Korea, which opened the door to extensive travel throughout Asia. With family ties in Thailand, I’ve returned many times over the years—exploring everything from northern cities to island destinations—experiences that taught me how deeply different cultures, pacing, and logistics shape a journey.

Over time, travel became less about seeing as much as possible and more about how a place is experienced. I’ve traveled extensively across Asia, Europe, Central and South America, New Zealand, Israel, and throughout the United States, and each trip reinforced the same lesson: the best travel is well planned, thoughtfully paced, and leaves room to simply enjoy being there.

Some journeys require structure—my trips to Israel, for example, were carefully planned coach tours because of the depth and history packed into each day. Others benefit from flexibility: one or two meaningful cultural experiences balanced with free time to explore, linger at a café, or enjoy a glass of wine while watching daily life unfold. That balance is at the heart of how I plan travel today.

I’m drawn to beautiful, well-located hotels that feel special without being excessive, and I believe logistics should quietly support the experience, not dominate it. My background in event planning taught me how much behind-the-scenes coordination matters—and how seamless a trip can feel when every detail works together.

Today, as my husband approaches retirement, we’re in the same phase of life as many of my clients—planning both small getaways and larger group trips with friends who value comfort, curiosity, and meaningful experiences. Whether it’s a river cruise, a European journey, or a destination farther afield, I work with a limited number of clients at a time so each trip receives careful attention from start to finish.

My role is simple: to plan travel that feels smooth, personal, and enjoyable—so you can focus on experiencing the world at a pace that feels just right.
