My Story

I’ve turned retirement travel into a second career by joining Fora as a travel advisor. Recently, I took a 21-day trip to Europe with my 89-year-old mother, my brother John, and my niece Hannah. I became disabled in 2022 and have direct experience with accessible travel and excursions. I’ve also experienced adventure travel, including festivals. In 2025, I went to my 14th Burning Man festival in Nevada. I am an experienced festival goer and actually started the first Burning Man regional festival, Burning Flipside, in 1999. It is still going strong with 3,000 attendees.

Whether traveling solo or as a group, you can depend on me to provide attentive service, unique travel opportunities, and the VIP perks that make your trip special. I live in the spiritual mecca of Crestone, Colorado, near the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

Travel Style

My personal travel style is relaxed luxury, tending towards wellness retreats like Esalen, unique cultural and art destinations, festivals, and cruises. I first went to Hawai’i at age seven, and it sparked a lifelong interest in Polynesia and Hawaiian culture. I once spent a month on the Big Island, staying briefly at a Kalani wellness retreat.
