Honeymoon, Family and Group Travel Specialist

Cheers to 33 years as a travel advisor helping provide the best experiences in travel, relaxation, fun and entertainment to my clients! I have a wealth of experience in leisure and corporate travel, groups, luxury, all inclusive, river cruises, family vacations, graduation trips, bachelor/bachelorette trips, destination weddings, honeymoons, and anniversaries…whatever your needs may be, I have got you covered! I like to focus on the individual needs of my clients and customize their dream vacation around their specific wants, likes, and budget.

I am totally committed to the satisfaction of my clients and can navigate everything from planning the entire trip, booking hotels and transportation, to ensuring any added shows, excursions, and special perks. I also like to ensure my clients get the most mileage out of their credit cards, including rewards points, bonus discounts, and the best possible deals on vacation packages and incentives. My secret lies not only in my long time experience in the travel industry, but also from my own personal love of traveling, which serves as the driving force behind my career choice as well as the reason why I so thoroughly understand all of the little nuances and attention to details that are necessary in planning the perfect trip. I recognize the importance of operating on my client’s needs and preferences, and can be as hands-on or as hands-off as clients wish.

Some of my favorite destinations include warmer climates with beautiful ocean views and beaches such as, Turks and Caicos Islands, Jamaica, (I do love me some rum!), St. Lucia, Barbados, Dominican Republic, US and British Virgin Islands to name a few.

No matter your preference, I look forward to helping you book and plan the vacation of your dreams. Contact me today to get started and let me leave you with 10 vacation/travel mantras to live by:

1. I might not know who I am but I know where I want to be. Right here in paradise!

2. My best stories are found within the pages of my passport.

3. I haven’t been there but it’s on my list.

4. Wanderlust: a strong desire to travel.

5. Join me on my next adventure!

6. Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.

7. All I need is Vitamin Sea.

8. I like taking the scenic route.

9. Take advantage of every opportunity you get because some things only happen once in a lifetime.

10. Fill your life with experiences so you always have a great story to tell.

Happy travels y'all!

Australia is home to ancient and contemporary cultures, both fascinating to explore. Aboriginal culture is the oldest continuously living culture in the world, complete with rich traditions and storytelling that can be discovered and appreciated through various adventures and tours across the territories. The country’s dynamic modern culture is equally appealing, especially the contemporary arts scene that offers a vibrant mix of street art, boutique galleries and world-class museums.

Check out the featured experiences below, and then contact our agency to plan an Australia travel experience that involves these and many more. We have partnerships with trusted companies throughout Australia, and we can create a vacation that is perfectly suited for your tastes, dreams and budget.

Australian War Memorial, Canberra

Australian Capital Territory

Located in Campbell, a suburb of the Australian capital of Canberra, the Australian War Memorial provides a captivating glimpse into local and global history. Its Aboriginal and Torres Strait art collection features more than 140 pieces, giving these artists the opportunity for truth-telling, healing and interpretation of the history of military service and experiences of Indigenous Australians. For more art in Canberra, visit the National Museum of Australia. Here, you’ll find the First Australians collection displayed over two floors, including the powerful Talking Blak to History exhibition.

Burrawa BridgeClimb, Sydney

New South Wales

Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge is an exhilarating way to indulge in breathtaking views of the city. The experience is heightened when you scale the summit of the bridge with a First Nations Storyteller as your guide on the Burrawa - Aboriginal Climb. With Burrawa — a local Aboriginal word that means “above” or “upward”— you can experience unrivalled views of the Indigenous landmarks around Sydney Harbour, including Bennelong and Barangaroo, while hearing the stories of Australia’s First Nations people. Afterward, you can tour the nearby Sydney Opera House — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Australia’s most recognized cultural icon — to discover the history, architecture and extraordinary story of this magnificent structure.
