After traveling all over the world for the past 45 years, I want to share my travel experiences with others. Combining my worldly travel experience, with an imaginative flair, I strive to create the ideal journey, customized for each client. I'm NOT just selling you a cruise; I'm crafting a personalized experience that you will fondly remember for the rest of your life. My ultimate goal is to make sure every client's travel experience is tailored to their unique needs and desires, and that their trip goes as smoothly as possible.
Though my travel interests are diverse, cruising is my passion. I truly believe that cruises offer the best overall value, because they combine a myriad of ship-board activities, along with numerous land-based explorations at the various ports of call. Cruising offers something for everyone, regardless of their age. Having personally sailed on well over 125 cruises, there aren't many places I can't provide first-hand knowledge about.
In addition to the travel experience I have gained; it is important to me to continually learn and grow my knowledge so I can better serve my clients. I’m proud to have received the following certifications from esteemed travel entities:
- CLIA Master Cruise Counselor Certification
- Princess Academy Commodore Status for past 17 years
- Royal Caribbean Master of Adventure Certification
- Celebrity Cruises Learning Certification
- Oceania Cruises Certified Specialist
When it comes to planning amazing trips for my clients, I am a workaholic and a perfectionist. I will work tirelessly to ensure that you have the best trip possible. Once, I had several couples referred to me for travel planning assistance. They had travelled extensively, all over the World, and asked me to plan a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for them to somewhere they had never been. I booked them on a cruise to the Galapagos Islands. They called me from South America to say it truly was the best trip they had ever taken, and that I should immediately begin planning another one for them, that would hopefully top this one.
As your trusted advisor, I’m always looking out for your best interest. Once, a new client of mine self-booked a cruise on our corporate website and declined to purchase cruise travel insurance. I called them and explained how important it is to have the travel insurance. In the end, they half-heartedly purchased the policy. During the cruise, the husband suffered a medical emergency, which resulted in a medical air evacuation which cost $25,000. Afterwards, the couple called to thank me for my strong recommendation. If they didn't have that insurance policy, they would have had to pay the entire cost out of pocket.
My goal in life is to bring joy and happiness to the lives of others by designing wonderful travel experiences for them to enjoy. If you’re interested in a cruise, a group trip, or family vacation, reach out to me today to start planning!
