My Story
Travel is as essential to me as breathing. I have explored 30 countries, 39 US States, D.C., Puerto Rico and over 450 cities globally. I enjoy booking and planning everything from one night hotel stays to once in a lifetime vacations. There is always more to experience in the world and my goal is to turn moments into memories for clients.
Travel Style
You can usually find my husband and I somewhere between the top attractions and parts unknown. We love understanding different traditions/societies, the local scene, up-and-coming trends, the oldie but goodies (why an attraction became an attraction and stayed one), new restaurants, tried and true food establishments and all the wonderful things that come with experiencing a culture.
