“Price is what you pay, value is what you get.”

As your travel advisor, I create your personalized and curated vacation.
What we do
Travel Advisor
There are A LOT of details that go into planning the perfect trip and no two vacations are alike. Through our careful consultation and collaboration, I will create the most ideal itinerary based on your needs and desires. I strive to get you the best price that offers the best value. Besides finding the accommodations and travel arrangements most appropriate for you, I will offer inside tips and tricks to help you enjoy your trip to the fullest, as well as information on dining, activities, weather, insurance, and more.
Advocate
Travel is our passion. Through our first-hand travel experience and continual training and interaction with cruise lines, resort chains, tour operators, and tourism boards, I make sure my information is fresh and up to date so your vacation turns out just the way you want it to every time. I maintain relationships with suppliers and tour operators all over the world so that you get the top-notch service that you deserve. I am your advocate from the time we start working together to the time you get home. And in the unlikely event something goes wrong and you need assistance during your trip, I am there for you.
Travel Concierge
A great vacation is so much more than just booking your transportation and accommodations. Are you celebrating an occasion? Do you need dinner reservations in Rome? A romantic candlelight dinner on the beach? Theater tickets? Just let me know and I can make it happen for you. My job is to make sure all you have to do is enjoy the trip and make memories.

An avid traveler and learner, I have been in the travel business since 2007. I was nominated for Frederick’s Best of the Best Tour and Travel Services 2019-2022. I started the business after traveling with my young children and realized that I wanted to help other young families see the world. Since then, I have expanded to encompass all generations and types of families.
As the owner and your travel advisor, I am committed to providing you with the highest level of customer service while creating your dream trip. Professional development and continuing education are very important to me. You can view a list of my certifications and memberships below. And of course, I travel the world to make sure I understand the destinations that I sell to my clients. I’m currently working on my bucket list goal to visit all 7 continents.
In addition, I am an experienced meeting planner and have been trained in customer service practices by the Disney Institute.
When not planning travel or traveling myself, I enjoy belly dancing, reading, and musical theater. Giving back to the community is important, so I serve on the Town of New Market Events Committee.
