I help you make the best decisions for your valuable travel investments,  saving you time and money and taking away the stress of travel planning.

My expertise:  Matching you with the best experiences for your personality, travel style and budget AND taking on the things you don't have time for, that frustrate you or you'd rather not do (but are required in order for you to have a special, well thought out trip). 

Clients come to me:
  • For guidance on choosing the right cruise line and itinerary, given my extensive knowledge and training in river and small ship cruising.  The biggest mistake when taking a cruise is taking the wrong line for your style.  I help you avoid this major mistake.
  • To take care of travel research, read reviews, filter through all the information (there are a lot of details to consider) and narrow down the best options for your style and budget. 
  • To help sort out the differences with the various supplier options, find the best values.​
  • To make and manage bookings and reservations.   
  • To help manage a group that wants to travel together.
  • For my industry connections that often provide added value, benefits and amenities. 

The end result?  An expertly planned for you and professionally managed itinerary with all the details and so much more!  Your trusted resource and partner in travel - I work for you.  I care that what is recommended is right for you and in your best interest, putting as much into planning your vacation as I do my own.  ​
