About Me
Steve and I at the Great Wall of China
Travel has always been an important part of my life.
My love of travel began early. After my freshman year of college, I spent a week in Paris exploring iconic landmarks and soaking in the culture. A few years later, my mother and I celebrated my college graduation with a trip to London-an unforgettable mother-daughter adventure that helped shape my passion for meaningful, memory-making travel.
From the start of our marriage, my husband and I agreed: experiences matter more than things. Our honeymoon was a 14-day journey through Hawaii and Los Angeles and we were hooked. For our third anniversary, we took our very first ocean cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Sovereign of the Seas-the beginning of what would become more than 30 ocean cruises (and counting)!
As our family grew, travel became how we celebrated every special occasion. From multi-generational beach vacations and fun-filled city trips to our children’s graduations and personal milestones, we’ve always prioritized building memories over buying gifts. We’ve explored London and Amsterdam, and we deeply connected with our roots during a powerful trip to Israel while our daughter studied abroad. One of our favorite traditions is taking parent-child trips-like my overnight line adventure in NYC with my son and the annual mother-daughter trips my daughter and I now cherish (from Oregon road trips to an upcoming visit to Maine!).

As soon as we became empty nesters, we made the decision, it was time to prioritize travel. Our first adventure in this new chapter was an unforgettable Mediterranean cruise through Spain, France and Italy. From there, we embraced a slower pace and deeper cultural connection with a European river cruise from Paris to Normandy, a truly meaningful way to experience the heart of France.
To celebrate our 35th anniversary, we explored the romantic canals of Venice before embarking on a breathtaking cruise through Greece and Turkey, filled with ancient history, vibrant culture and stunning scenerty. Most recently, we joined a guided group tour of China, where we experienced iconic landmarks like the Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors, a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Today, I bring that same sense of excitement, intention and personal touch to every client I work with. I understand that travel is more than a vacation-it’s a chance to celebrate, connect and create something unforgettable.
