About
I grew up with a dream to travel. At age seven, I found a passport wallet in a store, and I told my mom that one day that wallet would hold my passport. That passport wallet went with me on my first international trip at age 19 and continued with me on nearly every journey since, experiencing 20 countries by age 30. The majority of my travel expertise currently resides in Asia. I lived in South Korea for three years and have spent time in China (including all Special Administrative Regions), Japan, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam & Singapore. Domestically, I have lived in Texas, Louisiana & Wyoming — I would love to help you plan a trip to New Orleans, Austin, San Antonio, Yellowstone National Park or anywhere in between! I also have experience with various cruise lines, Caribbean & Central American destinations, Canada, Hawai'i, Europe (specifically, Oktoberfest in Munich) & Israel.

Travel style
Mark Twain once stated, “Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” I believe wholeheartedly in the anonymous quote, "Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer." My passion is to help remove any barriers to travel that I can. Through my work, I hope to shift the mindset from exclusively luxe travel to travel as an investment, as travel makes us all more empathetic, well-rounded and interesting people. As Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, "Man's mind, stretched to a new idea, never goes back to its original dimension." I pride myself in booking culturally immersive trips that focus on unique experiences and a greater appreciation for people, food, culture and language. I'm thrilled to use my experiences to now help others turn travel dreams into packed bags!
