As a self-proclaimed history buff, my passion for travel was ignited by my father’s captivating stories and photographs from his time serving in Germany, sparking my desire to explore beyond Iowa and see the world. I specialize in destinations like Europe, focusing on river cruises, as well as the vibrant locales of Mexico, the Caribbean, and the U.S., bringing a rich tapestry of knowledge to my clients.
Among my travel highlights, visiting Greece stands out; I fell in love with the destination during an agency “fam trip” where the people, food, and historic sights deeply moved me. An unforgettable encounter was meeting a NASA astronaut during “TrekFest” in Riverside, IA, where I jokingly mentioned booking clients to the moon, blending a touch of space exploration with my travel expertise.
At the core of my travel philosophy is a profound appreciation for the local people and culture, believing that the true essence of travel lies in experiencing and embracing the local customs, cuisine, and music of each place. My approach not only enriches the travel experiences I craft but deeply resonates with all who embark on journeys with my guidance.
