About

I was always the one who got the call.

Somebody in the family wanted to take a trip. Somebody's friend group couldn't agree on a destination. Somebody had a week off and no idea what to do with it — and the phone would ring. I'd build the itinerary, find the deal, handle the details.

For years I did it because I loved it. In 2019, I decided to do it for a living.

Since then I've planned family vacations, cruises, group getaways and luxury escapes for clients who wanted somebody in their corner — someone who knows which questions to ask before the deposit goes down, and who picks up the phone when something changes at the airport.

What I believe

Travel isn't a dream. It's a plan.

A trip that feels out of reach today often isn't, once you give it enough runway. Book early, break it into payments, travel at the right time of year — and that vacation turns into a deposit and a countdown.

That's most of what I do. Helping people find the version of the trip that actually fits their life, then handling everything from there.

What I plan

Four specialties, one thing in common — somebody has to handle the details, and it shouldn't have to be you on your lunch break.

Family vacations

Trips built around the ages, budgets and energy levels you're actually working with — so everybody comes home happy, including you.

Cruises

Ocean and river, from picking the right ship and cabin to shore excursions worth getting off the boat for.

Group travel

Girls' trips, family reunions, church and organization travel. I handle the rooming lists, the payments and the person who books late.

Luxury escapes

When you want the suite, the private transfer and the reservation that's hard to get — planned properly, without the guesswork.

Where I've been

Dubai, solo.

I've stood at the top of the Burj Khalifa and done a flying dress photo shoot in the middle of the desert — on a trip I planned and took by myself.

I don't just book the trips. I take them. And everything I've learned about visas, layovers, jet lag and what's genuinely worth your money out there, I learned the same way you would — by going.
