Our Story
Austin-based explorer, born and raised in south Louisiana, who enjoys spending time with my husband and two pugs. Both of us love to travel and are addicted to cruising!
Travel Style
Self-explorer at heart, I love to venture out on my own and see the world, learn the culture, and experience new cuisines! But I also like to pamper myself! I love a spur-of-the-moment trip where I can jump on a plane and be in a different part of the world within 24 hours. Jump right into the culture, visit the historical sites or see where the day takes me. I also like those trips that you do just about nothing at all but lay by a pool with a swim-up bar and lounge chair. Read a book, plan a spa treatment and dine at the local hot spot I saw on someone's TikTok or Instagram.

Ben was excellent to work with. He had great tips and advice with this being our first Virgin Voyage. We felt very prepared when it came time for our trip. Ben also was very prompt with any emails that I sent with concerns or questions. He also moved one of our rooms to a better location on the ship since the original location was not ideal. Overall great to work with and would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

3 Perfect Days in Porto & Portugal’s Douro Wine Region
Porto surprised me in the best possible way. While many travelers immediately focus on Lisbon when planning Portugal, I found Porto to offer a more intimate, slower-paced experience that blends luxury, history, wine culture, and authentic local charm beautifully. From walking the hillsides above the Douro River to exploring family-owned wineries in the Douro Valley, every part of the experience felt personal and immersive rather than overly commercialized. For travelers who value meaningful food and wine experiences, boutique luxury hotels, river cruising, and walkable European cities, Porto is a destination I would confidently recommend again and again.

Champagne & Cyclades: A Virgin Voyages Celebration
This was truly the sailing where we fell in love with Virgin Voyages. The adults-only environment, elevated dining (with no buffets), overnight stays, and high-energy atmosphere create a completely different cruise experience.
