Born and raised in Germany, I lived in Ireland for several years before coming to the US and then moved to the DC area from Los Angeles, CA a few years ago. I have 20 years of extensive experience in the travel and tourism industry and my love of travel has taken me to fabulous places around the world including Spain, Northern & Central Europe, Greek Isles, Indonesia, Bali and many many more. A fe

w years ago, I took a 3-month trip through South East Asia (Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia) and also learnt to scuba dive! Really, I lost my heart there and have been back quite a few times since. My most recent trip to Asia took me back to Singapore as well as Malaysian Borneo and it was just an incredible adventure! I do have a young son and absolutely understand the certain (and very different) needs when traveling as a family. All of my travels and trainings will give you recommendations based on a lot of first hand experiences from around the globe – this could be:
• a sunset wine tasting on Santorini,
• a private tour guide at the Alhambra in Granada/Spain
• seeing the feeding at the Orangutan Rehabilitation Center in Sepilok/Malaysian Borneo
• taking the cog train up to Muerren in Switzerland
• taking a helicopter over the Great Barrier Reef and the Heart Reef with a Champagne Landing on Whitehaven Beach in Australia
• experiencing Sangkran (the waterfestival) in Thailand
• hiking between the 5 towns of Cinque Terre
• hearing glaciers crash into the water at Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska
• getting spoilt at a luxury resort while being told “I am not here to spoil your lunch but to spoil you”
• being amazed by the colorful marine life on a dive in the Maldives, have a picnic under the iconic Eiffeltower
• or watching your little one laugh for joy in the splash pad onboard a Royal Caribbean Ship. I could go on and on about how many memories I was able to make and that I would love to share with you. Follow me here:

So, instead of succumbing to the Black Friday frenzy, let's uncover a deal that's genuinely worth every cent of your hard-earned money. 💰

It’s that time of the year again when I’ll be setting sail for our Annual Sales Conference aboard the newly refurbished Norwegian Joy. I can’t wait to experience the new thermal suite at the spa – I’ve heard it’s absolutely incredible!

During this conference, I’ll be engaging in plenty of meetings and dinners with our esteemed travel suppliers, including cruiselines, tour operators, and travel insurances. There will be workshops on exciting destinations, new and old, as well as insights into new hotels, technologies, and more, all aimed at curating the best experiences for you.

While we will be working hard, we’ll also be playing hard. With the conference lasting longer than usual, we’ll have leisure time in port to enjoy and socialize with friends and supplier partners. One highlight will be a private Networking Pool Party at Harvest Caye, courtesy of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings. It truly is a joy to connect with industry peers and forge new relationships.

I’ll be documenting my adventures through photos, hoping to ignite your wanderlust and inspire your future travels.
