More Than 40 Years of Getting It Right
I've been planning travel for more than 40 years — not as a hobby, but as a craft. I've sailed on dozens of cruise lines, visited hundreds of destinations, and spent decades learning what makes a trip genuinely great versus just fine.
I started as a traveler myself, and that perspective has never left me. When I help someone plan a trip, I'm thinking about what I'd want to know — the things that don't show up in a brochure, the trade-offs that actually matter, and the details that separate a good experience from an unforgettable one.
I work independently, which means my recommendations are based on what's right for you — not on quotas, commissions, or preferred vendor lists. My goal is simple: help you travel better.
If you're ready to start planning, send me a message and I'll help you figure out the rest — no fees, no pressure.
A Different Kind of Travel Advisor
My approach is built on four principles that I've held to for more than four decades.
Honest Guidance
I'll tell you when a deal is genuinely good and when it isn't. I'll tell you when a destination is right for you and when something else might suit you better. You'll never get a sales pitch from me — just a straight answer.
Guidance Worth Every Penny
My advice is grounded in more than 40 years of firsthand experience — and that experience pays for itself. Whether I'm steering you toward the right cabin, the right timing, or the right destination entirely, the value I bring typically far outweighs what any trip costs.
Personal Attention
You're not filling out a form and waiting for an automated response. When you work with me, you're working with me — someone who will remember what you told me and follow through on every detail.
Experience That Travels
Forty years of travel experience means I've seen what works across destinations, cruise lines, hotels, and seasons. That depth of knowledge is what separates a good trip from a great one.
