Wyoming Travel Agent Specialist

Wyoming is where the West still feels wild—and wonderfully alive. I spent part of a month-long road trip exploring this iconic state, and it left me with a deep respect for its vastness, its quiet majesty, and the way it effortlessly blends raw nature with refined experiences. From the untamed beauty of Yellowstone and the jagged grandeur of the Tetons, to the refined comforts of Jackson Hole and the storied spirit of Cody, Wyoming offers a kind of journey that feels both grounding and luxurious. It's a place where you can go from watching a geyser erupt at sunrise to sipping wine at a world-class lodge by night.


Yellowstone National Park is unlike anywhere else in the world. Geysers that breathe steam into the sky, technicolor hot springs, thundering waterfalls, and wide-open valleys teeming with bison and bears—it’s as dynamic as it is ancient. I help clients experience Yellowstone at its best: with expert guides who know where to spot wolves at dawn, thoughtfully paced itineraries that avoid the crowds, and handpicked accommodations just beyond the park that offer both comfort and a deep sense of place. Whether you're walking the boardwalks around Grand Prismatic Spring, fly-fishing a remote stretch of river, or enjoying a chef-prepared meal by a roaring fire, Yellowstone is a reminder that luxury and wilderness don’t have to be opposites.


Just to the south, Grand Teton National Park offers a different kind of drama. The Tetons rise in sharp relief from the valley floor, their reflection mirrored in still alpine lakes like Jenny Lake and String Lake. This is one of my favorite places to slow down and reconnect—with nature, with yourself, and with the people you’re traveling with. I often craft experiences here that pair scenic floats down the Snake River with private wildlife tours, horseback rides through wildflower meadows, and peaceful hikes that end with wine and a picnic overlooking a glacial vista.The nearby town of Jackson Hole is a destination in its own right—equal parts cowboy and cosmopolitan. Luxury lodges here offer world-class spas, heated outdoor pools with mountain views, and private chalets designed with natural materials and elevated details. Think après-hike cocktails by the fire, five-star dining inspired by the region, and access to both wilderness and culture. Art galleries, boutique shopping, and seasonal events make Jackson a year-round favorite for travelers who want both adventure and sophistication. I know the best stays, from iconic lodges like Amangani and Caldera House, to tucked-away hideouts with impeccable service and design.


For those craving a dose of Western tradition, Cody delivers with heart and grit. Founded by Buffalo Bill himself, this town brings the spirit of the frontier to life. The Cody Rodeo is one of the longest-running in the country, and it’s a thrill to watch—in part because it’s so genuine. It’s the kind of experience that connects you to the land and the people who have called it home for generations. I love building itineraries that pair Cody with a stay at an upscale ranch resort or a scenic drive through the Absaroka Mountains, offering both excitement and serenity in one seamless journey.Wyoming may be known for its big skies and open roads, but it’s also full of thoughtful, intimate moments—those perfectly brewed coffees at sunrise, the hush of a pine forest after a fresh snowfall, the joy of spotting a moose just off the trail. My job is to make sure you experience all of that, without having to worry about a single detail.


If you’re ready to explore the best of the American West—from geysers and glaciers to fine dining and rodeos—I’d be honored to craft a Wyoming journey that’s deeply wild, quietly luxurious, and completely unforgettable.

Luxury Cruising
We weren’t sure if river cruising was for us, but Joyce knew exactly how to match us with the right line. From unpacking once to waking up in a new European village each morning, we loved the pace, the comfort, and the elegance. She handled all the flights, transfers, and excursions, which made the whole experience feel effortless.

Solo, But Never Alone in Prague
I was nervous to travel solo overseas, but Prague was the perfect choice. My advisor created a thoughtful, artsy itinerary with guided tours, a cooking class, and a ticket to the opera. I felt safe, inspired, and completely recharged. It was exactly what I needed.

Family Time We’ll Never Forget
Traveling with three generations can be tricky, but Joyce made it so easy. She found us a villa in the Florida Keys that fit everyone, planned excursions the whole family loved, and even included time for us to just relax. This trip was everything we hoped for.
