Travel Advisor
“Two of the greatest gifts we can give our children are roots and wings.”
I am a passionate travel advisor who believes that travel not just about exploring new destinations but also about rejuvenating the mind, body, and soul. With a focus on wellness-inspired travel, I curate personalized itineraries that blend relaxation, adventure, and meaningful experiences, helping my clients return home feeling refreshed and recharged.
As a mom of two, I understand the value of creating unforgettable memories while balancing need for rest and connection. I specialize in crafting trips that cater to families, couples, solo adventurers, and wellness seekers alike—whether it a tranquil beach retreat, a spa-focused escape, or an active getaway filled with outdoor. My personalized approach, attention to detail, and insider knowledge of wellness resorts, hidden gems, and cultural allow my clients to travel with ease and confidence. By incorporating elements of self and relaxation into every itinerary, I ensure that clients not only see the world but truly reconnect with themselves.
As a single mom, traveling with my two young girls has been such a big part of our lives. My goal is to continue to show them the world and all its amazing wonders. Whether it’s sports weekends (NFL games, MLB games), road trips to Whistler, Alberta or down south, or bigger international adventures, we’ve made so many memories on the road together.
​
For me, travel is more than a journey—it’s a way to inspire, heal, and grow. Whether it’s a family getaway, a nature-filled adventure, or a restorative weekend getaway, I am dedicated to crafting trips that nourish the soul and leave a lasting impact.
My passion for travel
Travel has been one of the greatest gifts in my life. As a single mom, I’ve been fortunate to explore the world with my daughters, introducing them to different cultures, foods, and landscapes. I’ve also taken time to travel solo—refueling my spirit, challenging myself, and finding freedom in the unknown. Whether traveling with family or setting off on my own, each destination has left a lasting mark.
​
Mexico holds a special place in my heart. From the beaches of Cabo San Lucas to the energy of Cancun and the tranquility of Riviera Maya, these trips with my daughters were filled with sunshine, laughter, and unforgettable bonding. We spent days building sandcastles, snorkeling in turquoise waters, and learning about local culture through excursions and food. As a single mom, these adventures gave me the chance to create powerful memories with my girls—just us, embracing the world together.
​
Our time in the Dominican Republic was pure tropical relaxation. Staying at an all-inclusive resort, we enjoyed lazy mornings with ocean views, afternoons by the pool, and evenings filled with Caribbean rhythms and cuisine. It was one of those trips that blended ease with beauty—no schedules, no stress, just the warmth of the sun and the joy of slowing down.
​
China was a whirlwind of ancient wonders and modern marvels. I explored the Great Wall, walked through imperial palaces, and took in the fast pace of cities like Beijing and Shanghai. The contrast between tradition and innovation was breathtaking—from quiet moments in serene temples to bustling night markets where every corner was alive with flavor and sound. It was a trip that opened my eyes to a completely different way of life.
​
South Africa was the definition of adventure. I explored Cape Town’s colorful streets and dramatic coastlines, experienced the urban pulse of Johannesburg, and then stepped into the wild in Kruger National Park. Staying in a tented camp, I’ll never forget the surreal moments—like waking up to an elephant just feet from our site or hearing lions in the distance under a sky full of stars. It was raw, real, and awe-inspiring.
​
Dubai was unlike anywhere else I’ve been—futuristic, luxurious, and filled with wonder. I explored the Burj Khalifa, wandered traditional souks, and rode camels into the vast desert. It was a place where skyscrapers touched the clouds and ancient traditions still pulsed through daily life. Dubai was a blend of opposites, and that’s what made it so unforgettable.
​
Australia has become a place I return to in my heart often. I traveled solo both times, but never felt alone—meeting up with friends and finding connection through shared adventures. Whether it was road-tripping along the coast, exploring the hidden corners of Melbourne, Australia felt free, open, and empowering. It was a reminder that solo travel is never really solo—there’s always a story waiting, and someone new to share it with.Traveling with family through New Zealand’s North Island was like stepping into a storybook. We drove through lush countryside, explored bubbling geothermal landscapes in Rotorua, all the way to Hobbiton.
​
Every journey—whether with my daughters, my family, or just myself—has taught me something new. Travel has been a teacher, a healer, and a reminder of how much beauty and connection exists beyond our everyday routine. I’m grateful for every passport stamp, every early morning flight, and every moment that reminded me how big and beautiful the world truly is.
