Travel style

I love stepping out of my comfort zone and letting the world surprise me. I celebrate the art of slow, immersive travel that evokes a sense of adventure, discovery, and personal growth. I'm all about traveling in style and tend to veer off the beaten path looking for more authentic local experiences, adventure, and food! I specialize in crafting boutique experiences, Virgin Voyages cruises, and empowering solo journeys.

Denise 's reviews

This was our first time using Denise as a travel agent. It will not be the last. Denise is full of useful information. She answered all of my questions and never made me feel silly for asking a simple question. Possibly the most important thing Denise did was help me find savings and onboard credit that I would not have had if not for Denise. So, great customer service that saved me money. That's a great combination. Thanks Denise!
