Travel has always been a huge part of my life. Growing up my grandparents would take epic trips around the world, and we would eagerly await their return and the gifts they would bring us- sheep skin rugs from New Zealand, silk PJs from China and so much more. My father loved sailing, so my summer vacations were spent on a sailboat. We sailed the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, the eastern seaboard and eventually when he retired, the Mediterranean Sea. I love being on the ocean!
In college I studied abroad in Austria and spent a summer with a Eurail pass and a backpack traversing my way across Europe. I gained 20lbs eating pasta and cheese and drinking wine and hefeweizen but discovered my love of exploring. I traveled a lot in my 20’s but took a break in my 30’s to start a family.
I have two daughters, ages 11 and 15, and my husband and I have recently started prioritizing traveling with them. I know my greatest memories with my now deceased parents, were the times when we were having adventures together. I want my children to have those same memories. I am looking forward to creating cherished memories for my client’s as well.
I love all things Europe! I have spent time in Italy, France, Spain, Sardinia and many other countries. I don’t like big tours, so I prefer to rent a car or hop on a train and create my own itinerary. I used to travel with a guidebook and maps, now I use my iPhone and things that the Michelin app to plan trips. I recently traveled to South America and to see the Iguazu Falls and then Rio. It was amazing but gave me a lot of insight into how I don’t want to plan travel for my clients. It felt like a very cookie cutter itinerary with little thought put into what we actually wanted to do. I like high end all-inclusive travel. I had a wonderful trip the Jamaica Inn recently and in 2019 my entire extended family enjoyed a week in Curtain Bluff in Antigua.
