At 10 years old, I thought I had seen the world! Of course, it was through the eyes of Mickey Mouse and on a journey through Epcot Center where I would experience only a slice of the culture waiting for me around the globe. Then it happened...

At 16, after countless days and weeks of begging, my dad finally talked my mom into allowed their little girl to go to Europe for the first time. Eleven days over Easter break throughout Italy, France and Spain - what can I say? I was hooked! The culture, the people, the history, the beauty that I only knew existed in books (and at Disney World) took my breath away, and when I came home, I couldn't stop talking about it! I wanted everyone to be able to share in the opportunity that I had to travel.

Most people don't know at 16 years old what they want to do with their life, but I had discovered my calling! I found my passion in exploration of the world and though I had to wait a few years, I discovered a way to share my experiences with as many people as I could! It is amazing how fast time flies when you do what you love. For over 16 years, I have been a part of turning your dreams into a reality and I am STILL LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

I have been around the world and back exploring nearly every Caribbean Island from Aruba to Jamaica, Bahamas to Turks and Caicos, Bermuda to Grand Cayman, St. Lucia and the Dominican Republic! But my travels did not start or end there! I have discovered the gorgeous countries of Honduras, Belize, and Mexico and continue to stretch my limits every year! From Hong Kong and China to Italy, France, England and Spain, I have enriched my life and will pass it onto you! Don’t forget about staying close to home, either! Some of my favorite United States destinations are California, Las Vegas and Florida and I look forward to helping you choose and decide on your perfect destination!

In the last year, I was honored with the 2008 Top Ten Overall Producer Award from Casitas Royale! But, nothing is more personally rewarding than planning the destination wedding of a lifetime, a beautiful honeymoon for two or a family vacation that brings back the most amazing memories and experiences! My clients are a testament to my passion and love for this job!

In my travels, I have been blessed to personally experience resorts, museums, golf courses, the local attractions and, of course, a girl can't go too long without shopping! I have gotten to meet so many wonderful people, including great staff members at some of the best resorts in the world and made many friends!

Knowing first hand about these destinations allows me that extra edge, so that I can answer your questions and give you the best information available to help, guide and support you all the way to your DREAM destination, wherever that may be! 

Of course, it never hurts to have the best team in the WORLD behind you! Your travels are just as important to me as they are to you, so NO WORRIES! You are in GOOD HANDS! Talk with you soon!
