“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” ~ Maya Angelou.

About
About TiME
I was born and raised in the small island town of Ketchikan, Alaska. My first travel planning experience, starting when I was 16, was as a tour advisor helping cruise ship passengers find the exact right shore excursion during their stop in my hometown. Fast forward 20+ years and over 50 countries visited, I currently live outside of Pittsburgh PA with my husband and 3 daughters.
Vacation
Although every vacation has given me the opportunity to create life-long memories, my favorite was a trip to Greece a few years back. It was our first major international trip with our 3 young girls. We spent over two weeks soaking up the Acropolis sites in Athens along with tours all across Crete. We stayed in a hotel, a house, and a resort to really get a feel for the island. The food, people, and history are incredible and not to be missed . The highlight of the trip was the kids disco party at the resort. Seeing my 3 little girls dancing their hearts out with an international crowd of children is why I travel.
Planning
As a graduate of West Point, former logistics and transportation officer in the Army, and combat veteran, I’m a planner at heart. I pride myself on my attention to detail, purposeful planning, and my ability to skillfully navigate any challenges that may arise before or during travel. Also, as a parent traveling with young children, including one with severe allergies, I understand the unique needs to make a trip, fun, educational, and most of all safe.
I’d love the opportunity to plan your next adventure!
