I would like to personally thank each and every one of you that has supported me through the past few years on my Travel business journey. It has been an absolute pleasure to have met and worked with so many incredible clients along the way.

It is with a heavy heart and immense sadness as I announce the closing of my small business. I have worked so hard to help plan and organize travel for many at no cost to them, but it just was not enough to keep my business going with the way things are in the economy.

I am so grateful to those that gave me a chance as a newer travel advisor to ask for my advise and planning tips before turning to the internet for "cheaper" travel. Having repeat clients and referrals was the best feeling in the world, and I truly thank you for that.

I hope you all continue to have a desire to travel the world, such as myself. Get out and see the many cultures and social settings of different countries (not just in luxury resorts), try new food, go on unique adventures and create lasting memories. I have traveled to 24 countries thus far, which only equates to 10% of the countries on Earth! There is SO much to see and explore, and I hope each and every one of you have the opportunity to see your top travel destination(s) in your lifetime.

Safe travels, peace and love to you all....

In Crete, twilight is a daily experience not to be missed. It's called the "blue hour" because of the bluish hue that fills your gaze wherever you turn.
