Why I’m Your Travel Guru
Travel planning isn’t new to me. For over 20 years, I’ve been the mastermind behind epic family vacations and unforgettable group adventures. My husband can attest—I practically have a Ph.D. in research and logistics! Turning that passion into a full-time gig was a no-brainer.
Now, I leverage my experience to craft exceptional travel itineraries—not just for myself, but for you! I tirelessly research destinations, uncover hidden gems, and negotiate fantastic deals on flights, accommodations, and activities. Everything I learn becomes your travel treasure map, ensuring you experience the best a place has to offer.
I will tell you that, with all of my planning experience, and type-A tendencies, I have actually become a bit of a “fly by the seat of my pants traveler” in the past year. This is shocking to everyone in my personal life! I can still plan one heck of a vacation. However, when you travel as much as I do, I just don’t have the time or the energy to create masterful by the minute itineraries for myself anymore. But it has made travel so much more exciting and I find all kinds of hidden gems because I talk to locals and I tend to get off the beaten path more.
