About
For business, I can be your cost-effective travel desk. For leisure, I love to bridge luxury experiences with mid-market prices for groups of families & friends.
Travel style
As a former finance exec in a large corporation, I understand the needs of the business traveler and the cost controls needed for travel expense management. On the leisure side, I have been taking my family on international trips since my children were toddlers, and have learned first-hand what makes a great itinerary across ages and interests. For the past few years, I have been enjoying planning all-inclusive girls' trips for my mom-friends!

Ruth 's reviews
I had a great experience working with Ruth and she made our trip a success. Despite being seasoned travelers, planning a trip to Japan became rather challenging and time-consuming prior to finding Ruth. Ruth met with me and based on our conversation and emails came up with a customized itinerary that tailored to our interests as well as included things that we did not even know/consider. She made all arrangements including buying tickets and making dinner reservations. It made my job of a mom wrangling two teens in a foreign country much easier and less stressful. Moreover, Ruth was available to us during our trip to smooth a few wrinkles as well as make changes based on our wants. As a result we had a structured, well planned trip while retaining the ability to be flexible and adjust to circumstances.

Booking experience was good. If I needed to do it again wouldn't have done Board for dinner - but I think that was Pete's call.

Ruth was incredibly helpful with the hotel planning and booking for our trip to Japan. When I began researching hotels I was quickly overwhelmed with how many options there are for not only hotels, but cities within Tokyo to stay at. I was grateful to have found Ruth and to have had her help me narrow down the choices for our trip. Her detailed itinerary for our stays was so helpful as well when checking in to the hotels. Ruth also helped us pre-book some of our transportation in Japan which again was much appreciated when I was overwhelmed with routes, times, etc. Especially since we traveled over the New Years holiday, Ruth was able to suggest what areas to stay in and when to travel via train to get to our locations. I highly recommend using Ruth on your Japan booking as she is very knowledgeable and organized and thorough. Thanks again, Ruth, for all of your help!
