My Story
Travel has always been part of how I connect with the people I love. Some of our best family memories have come from celebrating big moments on the road—graduation trips, milestone birthdays, and those “last summer before the next chapter” adventures. Planning those trips became my thing: finding the right balance between what excites teenagers and what helps parents actually relax, making sure everyone feels included, safe, and genuinely excited about what’s next on the itinerary. Becoming a travel advisor was a natural extension of what I was already doing for my own family and friends—turning meaningful moments into unforgettable experiences.
Travel Style
My travel style blends iconic destinations with local flavor and thoughtful pacing. I love pairing beautiful, history-rich cities with charming smaller towns, and adding food and sports experiences that bring a place to life— from stadium tours and live matches to market visits and hands-on cooking classes. I design trips that are celebratory without being chaotic, adventurous without being overwhelming, and always centered on creating shared memories. Whether it’s a graduation trip, a family milestone, or a special couples' getaway, my goal is simple: trips that feel exciting, effortless, and truly worth the celebration.

36 Hours in Iceland
Our 36-hour stop in Iceland—a long layover at the end of our daughter’s graduation trip—became an unforgettable family adventure. We wandered through Reykjavík under the midnight sun, soaked in the Blue Lagoon, explored lava fields, and chased geysers and waterfalls. We tasted Icelandic specialties (including fermented shark) and snorkeled between tectonic plates at Silfra fissure, ending the trip quite literally between continents.
