A Remarkable Memory
On a truly magical day in Bhutan - I was able to hike to the sacred Tiger's Nest. As I made my way up the challenging Himalayan trail, the snow flurries seemed to carry me along, creating an almost ethereal atmosphere. Upon reaching the historic temple, I was blessed with a private ceremony by the lama, who bestowed three beautiful prayers, the Om of his voice creating an undeniable vibration felt throughout my body.
Experiences like these are the essence of remarkable travel, igniting a lifelong passion for exploration and discovery.

The hotel I stayed at in Amsterdam kindly gave me 2 passes to taste from their private barrel. As we walked to the location I had no idea what a unique experience it would be. Near Dam Square, down a narrow walking street is where we found
De Drie Fleschjes. The oldest tasting room in Amsterdam. It has one interesting owner, a fabulously worn original bar, and 2 small tables. Just 50 private barrels of specialty liquor, beer, and a few snacks. Known to locals only, this is a historical gem!

My favorite recent travel memory is experiencing a destination through my toddler son's eyes. I recently brought him to Belize, where he truly enjoyed the country—the food, the beach, and the people. It was a week filled with wonder, seeing the destination and travel itself in a new light. This experience reminded me of why travel is so important—it teaches us, connects us, and allows us to grow...

You know those moments that live on your bucket list forever? Peru was mine, and boy, did it deliver! Trekking to Machu Picchu's Sun Gate wasn't just a hike; it was a soulful journey. Each step up was filled with anticipation and joy, like unwrapping a surprise years in the making. Breathing in the crisp mountain air, I finally arrived, and there it was—Machu Picchu, basking in a golden glow.

A Remarkable Memory
The single most significant travel moment I have ever experienced came at the American Cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach in Normandy. Interspersed among the graves are gardens of the most beautiful, blood red roses. I noticed the groundskeepers raking cigarette ashes into the beds and asked the guide if that was the secret to their striking color. The guide paused and gently told me that they were not cigarette ashes. In fact, they were the ashes of men who had fought there on D Day. Their last wish when they died was to be laid to rest with their fallen friends. Since the cemetery was closed to burials in 1953, the only way this could happen was for the families to bring the former soldiers ashes over to France after their deaths and slip them into the garden beds. The gardeners gently rake them in to allow them in for their final rest with their comrades. The idea of this kind of sacrifice and dedication has literally inspired me ever after.

My wedding day on a beautiful beach in the Caribbean. As wedding time approached clouds rolled in and it began to pour down rain. Our wedding coordinator asked if we wanted to move the ceremony inside. No way! I came to get married on the beach. Right on time the clouds moved on, the sun came out over the aqua water and we had our dream wedding with a beautiful sunset.

While traveling in Germany we had several activities scheduled, one being the BMW Driving Experience just outside of Munich. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect and had given it little thought compared to some of our other activities. That day we arrived at the BMW location and instructors taught us how to better handle our driving style using 3 different models of BMWs. We drifted, we slalomed, we raced. It was a blast!

I am a travel enthusiast and found my place as a Travel Advisor helping create new memories and adventures for others. I was married on a beautiful beach in the Caribbean and now swim with my children in the aqua water of that same beach. Some of my most memorable experiences have been swimming with beautiful sea life in French Polynesia, ziplining over the Munich Olympic Stadium, cruising the Meditteranean sea, waltzing in Vienna, seeing the history of Normandy and taking in the sights of Rome by horse drawn carriage. Whether a romantic getaway for two, that bucket list trip you have been dreaming of, or a place to enjoy time with family & friends I enjoy using my experience and resources to create the perfect trip for you.

When traveling to Kauai, only 20% of the island is accessible by vehicle. One of the greatest ways to see the entire island ~ the Napili Coast, Waimea Canyon, fly into Kilauea Volcano and all of the beaches and waterfalls in between is by Helicopter. And to add excitement, you even have the option to fly with the "doors off". There is something exhilarating about flying through the open air ~ literally. It is an amazing way to see the beauty of the island and truly a once in a lifetime experience!

Having a private tour guide through Rome! But the topper was being able to see areas of Rome that the general public is not able to see. From restaurants off the beaten path, areas of the Vatican not open to the public, taking pics of the Colosseum and learning specific details that you won't find in the history books! I could go on for days...

I love seeing the sights and experiencing the culture of each destination that I travel to. The one destination that everyone has to see is the Great Wall of China. I was fortunate enough to be able to tour the Forbidden City and the Imperial Palace as well. But the Great Wall ... that honestly took my breath away. The wall goes on for miles and has so much history behind it. Don't miss the opportunity to take the toboggan down to the bottom of the Great Wall entrance.

I am a natural planner at heart. I have always been the “go-to” to plan events, gatherings, trips, etc. My love for travel and my talent for planning go hand in hand. Travel planning, whether it’s for myself or for my clients, is more than just booking a beautiful resort in a different country. It’s designing an experience that gives you moments to reflect, enjoy, be present, and truly experience the culture.

A standout memory that propelled me into the travel industry was a high school trip to Australia and New Zealand with People-to-People Student Ambassadors. I, along with my peers, journeyed through diverse landscapes and amazing culture. We cooked underground and slept in the long houses with the Maoris, learned the form of "hello" is touching noses and experienced the Didgeridoo from some of the local Aboriginal Australians. This helped spark my fascination for out of the box travel and culture immersion.

Spending fall in Switzerland was unforgettable. One of the highlights was dining at a local farm restaurant in Andermatt. Picture this: mountain views on one side, a serene lake on the other, brisk air flowing through the open window, and a warm cup of matcha tea in hand.

My Travel Bag
I never leave home without my Kindle E-Reader- international travel especially can produce a lot of down time so I want to make sure I have something to do. I highly recommend carrying extra gallon zip-top plastic bags- they have saved me (and my luggage) more times than I can count! The last thing would be a bathing suit- you just never know when an opportunity might present itself- swimming the freezing-cold North Sea anyone?
A Remarkable Memory
My husband and I were in Ireland in 2013 and just south of Dublin in Greystones is an 8-Mile hike to the Bray Head Point along the seaside. As we walked along the cliff edges and through rolling fields we were almost speechless. The water in the Irish Sea was as blue as the Caribbean, the grasses technicolor green and alongside the water's edge were dozens of seals! The hike took the better part of a whole day because we kept having to stop and take in the views and just breathe. It was as much a spiritual experience as a physical challenge- as these things so often are. We ended our day back at the pub in Greystones with obligatory Guiness and a good hearty meal- it was one of the most spectacular travel days I have experienced to this point.

Don't forget to join in on an authentic Kava Ceremony!

Scandinavia and Svalbard in the Arctic Circle are high on my list. The winter landscape and unique art, design and culinary influences are fascinating and exciting to me. Also, who wouldn't want to see a polar bear in the wild (from a safe distance)? The other destination I am really excited to see is Japan- I think walking the famous Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo or seeing the island dotted waters of the Matsushima Bay sound unlike anything I have experienced to this point and I am all in!

One such unforgettable experience was paragliding amidst the majestic Swiss Alps. Soaring through the sky, the landscape unfolded into a panorama of vividly turquoise lakes, framed by the awe-inspiring towering peaks in the distance. Equally captivating was the helicopter journey over Kauai's Napali Coast, a sight that was nothing short of a dream. The lush valleys, majestic emerald cliffs, and cascading waterfalls unveiled a tableau of surreal and untamed beauty that left me both breathless and inspired. Lastly, the tranquil adventure of riding a camel into the golden hues of a Sahara Desert sunset remains a memory forever etched in my heart. The breathtaking colors and sheer, simple beauty of the desert's vast expanse offered a profound sense of peace and timelessness. These unforgettable experiences are the very heartbeat of why I fell in love with travel.

For me, the heart of travel lies not in the destination or the luxury that surrounds it, but in the connections forged and the stories shared. It's the laughter with loved ones around a campfire, the inspired moments exploring hidden trails, and the rich exchanges with locals that bring a place to life. Every journey is a tapestry, woven with the experiences of those we cherish and the unexpected paths we dare to explore. In the end, it's the memories made and the bonds strengthened that truly inspire my wanderlust, leaving an indelible mark on my soul each time I venture out into the world.
