My goal is to create enjoyable, enlightening, unforgettable vacations! I'm especially proud of my unique ability to listen to my clients needs and expectations and then create individually designed itineraries that can include air, accommodations, tours, and local transport. You'll depart prepared and confident. You'll return fulfilled and (hopefully) rested.

Much of my work is focused on creating independent travel packages throughout Europe, especially France, Italy, Spain, Greece and Great Britain. On the other hand I'm eager to help you choose the right all inclusive resort for relaxing, or help you sort through the myriad of cruise options.

If you have a travel idea in mind, don't hesitate to contact me for ideas, opinions and options. I can offer casual advice or help you make your ideas come to life!
