I love to travel! From a young age, I dreamed of exploring the world—a passion that led me to earn a degree in Travel & Tourism and spend more than 15 years working in the travel industry. That same desire still drives me today.

I’m a hiker, landscaper, photographer, scuba diver, skier, and more! I also love to cook, entertain family & friends, and drink fine wine.

One of my personal travel goals is to visit all 63 of America’s incredible national parks. So far, I’ve explored 21 and plan to increase that number in early 2026 with visits to New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas! I’m also creating a blog that will include all the tidbits and tips from visiting Utah’s “Big 5”—where we stayed, our favorite hikes, and other fun travel nuggets.

My travels have taken me to many Caribbean islands, as well as Alaska, Belize, Hawaii, Mexico, and numerous states across the U.S. I’ve also been fortunate to journey “across the pond” to Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Romania, Serbia, Switzerland, and Turkey.

With our amazing Oceania Cruises voyage, “Havens of Italy & Spain”—one of our 2026 group offerings—we’ll be checking off even more incredible destinations!

This 10-day journey begins in Monaco, cruising down the breathtaking coast of Italy, crossing the Tyrrhenian Sea to explore Sardinia, and sailing through the Balearic Sea to visit Ibiza, Spain, before concluding in the vibrant city of Barcelona.
