I help people navigate the complexities of travel in a post-COVID world, creating special land and sea travel experiences designed to their specific needs and desires. As a full-service luxury travel advisor, I specialize in premium small ship cruising (ocean, exploration and river) and custom land itineraries for couples, families and small private groups.

I personally have traveled in more than 75 countries on six continents and enjoyed 60-plus cruises on rivers and oceans around the world. Travel is all about discovery—experiencing new destinations, new cultures and new people. I work with a limited number of clients in more than two dozen states, who appreciate advice and counsel of a seasoned travel professional.

My select premium and luxury cruise lines, local guides, tour operators and other travel partners share my passion for travel and for serving clients with respect and integrity. Please call me for a complimentary travel consultation.

“The trip and the experience at the Buccelletti Estate was amazing. I know that my mom expressed her thanks for all your help and recommendations and I would like to add my thanks. I hope that the families looking to visit the Tuscany region will enjoy their trip as much as we did.”
