Travelers want curated experiences, and I utilize my intricate planning super power to create one-of-a-kind experiences for my clients. While I have resources at my fingertips to plan your next vacation anywhere in the world doing everything you could dream of, I specialize in culture and culinary-rich travel focused on Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
Day 2: I ❤️ what I do— turning travel dreams into reality with the help of Ponant!
Welcome to my home and make yourself comfortable onboard Ponant
Luxury is in the details, and this ship does not disappoint. Let’s start with a spacious 215 square feet in the (entry-level) Prestige Stateroom with a balcony (the smallest staterooms onboard). Against a palate of light and dark wood accents, you’ll find a three-door wardrobe, two-room bathroom with walk-in shower, makeup table with stool, deep drawers for storage, walnut wood shelving, night tables with drawers on each side of the bed, and a private seating area (for breakfast, lunch or dinner served in your room) -- all before heading out through the sliding glass door onto the wide balcony for your own viewing pleasure of the seas and your surroundings.
But wait. . . there’s more: sustainability (Earth is our home) is at the forefront of the Ponant brand with twice daily replenished glass water bottles (sparkling and still) that you could use in your stateroom Nespresso maker or tea kettle. There are no single-use plastics in sight. And if you want more than water, your own stocked mini bar is also replenished daily with your favorites (mixers, sodas, and adult beverages).
If this weren’t enough, I need to be able to work from home as well so all the USB charging outlets and US/UK electric outlets allow me to keep my clients safe and happy. BONUS: Bluetooth Bose wireless speaker in every room too. (But I much prefer the sound of the waves crashing just outside my door.)
I invite you to reach out to me today so we can find your home away from home.
Education & Exploration -- it's more than just a sailing or a trip. This is the beginning of a journey of a lifetime. Come aboard with me as I experience the world's ONLY luxury icebreaker, on her repositioning from drydock (a refresh) in Brest, France, to Reykjavik, Iceland. Sailing across the North Atlantic will take 4 nights-- just enough time to sample all she has onboard:
🍽️ a la carte menus designed by in Nuna
🐚🗿🐋 contrasts of ocean blues against stone greys and sand modern interiors
🥇✨ first-class service from the ship's Officers and Crew from the moment you see her in port
Want to experience it for yourself? Reach out to me!
Life is like a box of chocolates. . .
Got your attention? Thought so. I don’t want to give too much away just yet, but I do want to entice you to stick around over the next few days to see and hear about why, where, and how I’m tasting, touching, and learning all about what should be your next destination. Check in the comments for a hint (and what will be on the horizon in 2030). 📷
Why Use a Travel Advisor? Because the internet doesn’t invest in first-hand knowledge and education of the destinations that aren’t the “usual” request. For instance, do you want to see more of France than just Paris? I hopped on the train when I landed at CDG this week and two hours later I was in the north of France getting acquainted with Rennes. It won’t be my last time here— and I now have my favorite 5* hotel without the Paris 5* price. 📷

My days in Sevilla have come to an end, but this is a city that will forever stay with you. Here’s just a sampling of
Sevillanas: music and dance influenced by Flamenco. The opening ceremony of the educational conference I am attending to get to know this part of Spain better (and the hoteliers and tour producers) certainly set the stage for our immersion into Seville.

Córdoba is such a well preserved historical center that they don’t even allow mobile phones 📵( just kidding, mine had a dead battery for the majority of the day )
Maybe it was a blessing — to allow me to really soak up all the history that I could from my private guide so I can impart my first-hand knowledge to my clients.
But I did get a few pieces of old-meets-new from the day. ́rdobaEsp

Want your business to be the top-listed Travel Agency?
Have you ever ventured into the great unknown? Like an alleyway in The Rocks area of Sydney? Or a laneway in the city center of Melbourne? What about any fjord in a country that you’re just starting to get to know? Finally, how about the process to get your first passport?
All of these unknowns (which could go on and on and . . . ) are what drives our wanderlust for new experiences in far away places or cities next door. If you’ve ventured one foot outside of your comfort zone, you know that change happens. You start living in the moment and your senses take it all in. And when you return, you’re not the same as when you left.
Let me help you find your next adventure that will change the world for you. Proudly serving Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Tyson's Corner, Bethesda, Great Falls, Travilah, McLean, Wolf Trap, Darnestown, Chevy Chase, Potomac, South Kensington, and clients nationwide.
