Montana Travel Agent Specialist

Montana has a way of getting under your skin—in the best possible way. I spent part of a month-long road trip winding through this state, and the stretch between Bozeman and Glacier National Park left one of the deepest impressions. It’s a place of wild beauty and warm hospitality, where rugged landscapes meet small-town charm, and every moment feels like it belongs in a nature documentary—or a glossy travel magazine. Whether you want to hike through alpine meadows, sail across turquoise lakes, or simply breathe in the fresh mountain air from the comfort of a luxury lodge, this part of Montana offers an experience that’s as grounding as it is unforgettable.


Bozeman is where many journeys begin, and it’s so much more than just a gateway. This modern mountain town blends Western soul with a fresh, creative energy. Think hip cafes, locally sourced fine dining, stylish boutique hotels, and an arts scene that punches far above its weight. It’s the perfect place to unwind before or after exploring the wilds of Montana—and with its close proximity to both Yellowstone and Glacier, it makes an excellent home base for a longer, curated itinerary through the region. Whether you're strolling through downtown’s art galleries or heading out for a private fly-fishing lesson on the Gallatin River, Bozeman gives you the best of Montana in one compact, effortlessly cool package.


As you move north, the landscape shifts from rolling hills to dramatic peaks, signaling your arrival in Glacier National Park—one of the most awe-inspiring places I’ve ever visited. This is where ancient glaciers carved deep valleys, crystal-clear lakes shimmer beneath rugged cliffs, and wildflowers bloom beneath towering cedars. The Going-to-the-Sun Road alone is worth the trip—a bucket-list drive that winds through alpine passes, past waterfalls, and along cliff-hugging curves with views that make you stop the car just to take it all in.


I specialize in helping travelers experience Glacier in ways that feel exclusive, immersive, and effortless. That might mean a private boating experience on Lake McDonald, guided hikes that take you beyond the crowds to hidden lakes and panoramic vistas, or curated lodging that blends rustic elegance with creature comforts. The park’s short season makes thoughtful planning essential—and my insider knowledge ensures you’ll make the most of every moment, whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with family.


Just outside the park, the town of Whitefish offers the perfect blend of laid-back charm and quiet sophistication. It’s one of my favorite towns in Montana—a place where you can wake up to mountain views, explore local boutiques and wine bars, and end the day in a lakeside resort that feels like your own private hideaway. From here, it's easy to arrange scenic train rides, e-bike tours, golf outings, or a day on Whitefish Lake. If you’re visiting in late summer or early fall, the golden light and crisp air make it one of the most beautiful—and peaceful—times to explore the region.


Montana is for travelers who crave space, beauty, and authenticity—but that doesn’t mean sacrificing luxury. I design itineraries that reflect your pace and priorities, combining natural wonders with thoughtful details: private transfers, exclusive access, exceptional accommodations, and one-of-a-kind experiences that turn a great trip into a life-long memory.If you’re ready to discover Montana’s wild beauty—from Bozeman’s modern mountain vibe to the glacial majesty of the north—I’d be honored to create a journey that’s as seamless as it is spectacular.

My Reviews

A solo river cruise I'll never forget
I was nervous to travel alone, but Joyce found the perfect Danube River cruise for me—friendly, safe, and full of culture. I made friends, saw castles and vineyards, and even had private guides in Vienna and Budapest. I’ve already asked her to help plan my next one in France.

An incredible family adventure through Costa Rica!
Joyce helped us plan a 10-day journey that had something for everyone—zip-lining through the jungle, a chocolate-making workshop, beach time in Manuel Antonio, and eco-lodges that our kids are still talking about. We felt safe, well taken care of, and completely immersed in the experience.

The Alaska cruise Joyce planned for us was flawles
I had always dreamed of seeing glaciers up close, and this cruise exceeded every expectation. From the scenic rail ride in Skagway to whale watching in Juneau, every moment was unforgettable. Joyce handled all the logistics—private excursions, ship dining, even a spa treatment. We can’t wait to plan our next one!

I never knew a road trip could feel so luxurious.
We drove from Santa Fe to Sedona, stopping at beautiful boutique hotels and incredible restaurants Joyce picked for us. She even helped us score a sunrise hot air balloon ride in Arizona! The trip felt so personal, and every detail was taken care of.
