My Story
I'm a St. Louis, Missouri-based travel advisor turning my passion for travel into a specialized career as a tour travel agent and manager. With over five years immersed in the live music industry and touring scene, I know firsthand what artists and crews need on the road—from seamless multi-city hotel bookings for groups, to flights and car services that keep everything running smoothly across the US.
What started as family cruises and weekend getaways quickly turned into a love affair with Royal Caribbean. I’ve sailed on dozens of their ships, explored nearly every port in the Caribbean, and experienced everything from relaxing sea days to action-packed itineraries. Over the years, I've discovered exactly what makes a tour or cruise vacation unforgettable—the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and those little luxury touches that turn a trip into a memory you'll never forget.
Today, as a part-time advisor specializing in Royal Caribbean, and a full-time expert in artist tour logistics, I get to help others design that same magic. Whether it's coordinating bookings for a band's cross-country tour, your first cruise, or your fifteenth, I love crafting laid-back yet exciting vacations and itineraries that feel effortlessly perfect—think backstage-level organization, poolside cocktails, stunning beaches, and just the right amount of thrill.
Travel Style
I'm all about luxurious escapes that feed the soul without the overwhelm, whether it's a serene cruise or the high-energy logistics of a music tour. Give me wide-open decks, quiet beaches, and spaces where I can truly unwind—no crowds, just peace, sunshine, and the sound of waves. Or, channel that into practical, stress-free travel for artists on the road, drawing from my 5+ years in the live music world to handle group hotel bookings, flights, and car services across multiple US cities.
A perfect day for me starts with coffee on my private balcony, moves to a long afternoon soaking up the sun on a secluded stretch of sand or floating in crystal-clear water. That said, I can't resist a little excitement! I love tropical casinos when the mood strikes, and I'm always the first one signing up for paddle-boarding, jet skiing, or snorkeling adventures right off the ship. I've got the insider knowledge to make touring feel just as rejuvenating—efficient, reliable, and tailored to keep the show on the road.
My sweet spot is luxury with breathing room—upscale yet relaxed, rejuvenating yet fun, and always within arm's reach of turquoise water or the next tour stop.
