Your Certified Travel Counselor

As far back as I remember, I have always had an interest and passion to travel.  Whether it was my family's summer camper trips, my overseas studies or my adult life travel, I have been fascinated with the big world beyond my door.

I have traveled extensively for 30 years throughout Central Europe, the former Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, the British Isles, Turkey, Russia and Ireland.  For the past 16 years I have personally designed my Christmas Market Tour to Europe.  In 2000, I was the national contest winner for the Austrian National Tourist office booking contest.  The prize was a deluxe trip to the Opera Ball in Vienna; my distinction was presented at the A.S.T.A. World Conference in Strasbourg, France.

Besides my love for foreign independent travel, I enjoy the pack and unpack once experience of a cruise.  My cruise experience has been on large, medium and small ships as well as river cruises.  I have cruised, on more than one occasion to the Mediterranean, Bahamas, Caribbean, Alaska, Hawaii, Baltic Sea & throughout Central Europe.

Also, I have a very good knowledge of Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada and the United States.  I am a Certified Specialist for both Sandals and Beaches resorts throughout the Caribbean.  My favorite state is Hawaii.  As a Hawaii Destination Specialist, I have the expertise to customize a vacation to your particular needs.   I have visited the Hawaiian Islands numerous times and have the knowledge of the differences between them and the attributes each has to offer. 

My accreditations include Certified Travel Counselor (CTC), Accredited Cruise Counselor (ACC) and Destination Specialist Western Europe (DS).  My destination specialist in Western Europe has been further specialized for the countries of Austria, Switzerland, Spain and Ireland  as well as the region of Bavaria in Germany.  Additionally, I have completed the China Specialist Training Program sponsored by the China National Tourist Office.   

I love to work with singles, couples and families.  Additionally, I have a lot of experience with reunion, honeymoon and customized groups.  My travels have allowed me to see most of the places people dream of.  I offer personalized, detailed and attentive customer service.  Let my expertise take your trip from ordinary to extraordinary.  The world is yours.  Let me know where you would like your journey to begin.
