My travel career began at a London travel office in my native England. After immigrating to the USA I became a citizen and later a mother of two sons who grew up to be Eagle Scouts. I was an active agent/owner of a respected travel agency in Beverly Hills for 17 years, and later a travel agent in San Diego.

I work hard to make sure that my clients receive only the best counseling and planning for their travels, both corporate and leisure. I’ve guided inexperienced travelers on their first cruise and tour, as well as taking care of many film and corporate executive trips to exclusive resorts. Planning honeymoons are fun because they are so full of joy and family trips let people experience education, culture, and adventure together (including safaris, skiing, dude ranches, snorkeling, zip-lining, and river rafting -- all of which I have done myself). Arranging cruises all over the world, as well as trips to Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean and Hawaii, makes each working day fun and a surprise for me.

My own travels in Europe, Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Australia, Polynesia, and the Caribbean, always leave me yearning for more. I am constantly ready for something new and exciting and I participate in many educational programs throughout the year. I’ve gained much firsthand knowledge of fun places to visit by taking three or four trips to new places each year to stay abreast of all the latest trends and destinations so I can offer the very best trips possible for my clients! Attention to detail and “going that extra mile” is what I enjoy doing best.

My Favorite Vacations:
Turkey Highlights: A recent trip to Turkey fulfilled all my travel expectations.   The historic sites, the food, hotels and culture as well as the people were all fascinating.  I visited Istanbul, Ankara, Cappadocia and Ephesus - my only regret was that the trip of 9 days was not nearly long enough and I hope to go back and spend more time exploring things there one of these days.
