My Story
Travel has always been part of my life. Growing up with a father who was an airline captain, I traveled the world, lived in England and Germany as a teen, then moved to Alaska for several years. We settled back in California. For years, I've planned trips for friends and family, with a passion for cruising and creating seamless land experiences before and after sailing. Now I'm turning that lifelong passion into a professional travel business.
Travel Style
My style is relaxed luxury with a sense of adventure, thoughtful, fun and effortlessly well-planned. I love creating trips that feel personal instead of packaged, whether that's a beautiful cruise paired with hidden local experiences, a boutique hotel with character, or a seamless journey where every detail just flows. Food and wine have been a passion of mine for many years. I have participated in cooking schools all over the world and at sea. I’ve spent years organizing group travel, whether it been in wine country or celebrations on land or at sea. I can make it happen and it be interesting and fun.

Sandy is one in a million. The thought, time, effort, love she has put into our trip truly showed all throughout every single day of our vacation. Everything was meticulously planned and thought out beautifully. Her ideas and planning is unmatched. I did not realize how badly I needed a travel agent until I hired Sandy to plan this trip for me. She was always available for me both through call, text or email. She always followed up and went above and beyond if I needed something additional. The itinerary was printed out and email perfectly. When I thought some reservations were impossible to make (I tried multiple times), she made them happen at the exact time and date I wanted. She does NOT give up. She has truly spoiled us and made my daughter's birthday Hawaiian celebration a truly memorable one down to the birthday cake. I rarely take trips but when I do I want everything to be above and beyond...so from here on out Sandy will be my go to travel agent and my vacation's best friend!!! If I can rate her 100 stars I could. She is unmatched.

It was such a pleasure working with Sandy this past week. She was able to find me accommodations at this stunning resort located just a mile from the family. It was a last-minute getaway, so her quick response to my request and familiarity with the area were extremely helpful. I look forward to working with her again for future trips.

Sandy was an excellent travel advisor for our 10-day trip to Europe. She handled all the planning and logistics, but what mattered most to my wife and I was how she helped when things went sideways. A flight delay caused us to miss our connection to our first destination, and Sandy jumped in immediately to reroute us and minimize the lost time. She also woke up at 5am to call our destination airport and make sure our checked bag got routed to the right hotel, which meant my wife and I could actually enjoy our first day instead of spending it chasing luggage.
Beyond the problem-solving, Sandy just knows her stuff. She suggested we invest in trip insurance, which ended up saving us BIG TIME with our flight delays and lost luggage. She put us in great hotels within our budget, gave solid recommendations on neighborhoods, tours, and things to do, and even arranged our drivers between cities.
If you want a travel advisor who handles the details and shows up when it matters, Sandy is the one. We'll absolutely be using her again.
