Yesterday was one of those travel days I’ll never forget. ❤️

Sailing through the Middle Rhine, with vineyards climbing the hillsides and 20+ castles and fortresses appearing around nearly every bend. 🏰

It honestly felt like sailing through a storybook.

This part of the Rhine is every bit as beautiful as I imagined—and somehow even better seeing it from the water.

Definitely one of the highlights of this trip. ❤️

Sometimes the best part of travel is the funny stuff that happens along the way! 😂

I may have gotten completely SOAKED by this 3-in-1 soap/water/dryer contraption…because apparently I hadn’t quite figured out how it worked. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Travel keeps you humble! ❤️

One of my favorite things about traveling is getting to explore the sleepy little towns that you might otherwise miss. ❤️

Alsace is full of them—charming streets, colorful houses, little cafés, local wine, and that slower pace that makes you want to stay awhile. 🍷🇫🇷

These are the moments that make me fall in love with Europe over and over again. ✨

I’m off on another river cruise adventure!

I’ll be sharing along the way so you can see what river cruising is really like — the ship, the destinations, the food, the excursions, and all those little details that help you decide if it’s the right kind of travel for you.

Come along with me! 💙🌍

And if you’ve ever wondered, “Would I like river cruising?”… follow along and let’s find out together! 😉

🌍✈️ This is why having a travel advisor matters!

Travel requirements can change, and part of my job is staying on top of those updates so my clients don’t have to.

I’ll help you navigate the details — before you go and along the way — so you can travel with confidence. 💙

📚 The kids are back to school… now it’s YOUR turn.

Fall is the perfect time for a grown-up escape—and I have some wonderful Sandals options this week. 🌴☀️🥂

Think sunshine, no school schedules, no lunchboxes, and plenty of time to simply relax and reconnect.

You deserve a little getaway, too. ❤️

*Need different dates? I’d love to check pricing/availability to fit your schedule!

🇳🇴✨ Bucket-list worthy? Absolutely.

Picture yourself winding through Norway by rail, cruising the breathtaking fjords, exploring charming villages, and taking in mountain views that don’t even look real. 🚆🏔️🛳️

11 days. One incredible adventure. A whole lot of Norway to remember. ❤️

Let’s get Norway on your calendar in 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣7️⃣.

🇯🇵✨ Japan has been on so many of my clients’ bucket lists—and for good reason!

This new 13-day Globus Small Group Discovery goes beyond Tokyo and Kyoto to explore Hokkaido and experience a more authentic side of Japan.

Think Ainu culture, local artisans, sake & soba, gold leaf crafts, traditional performances, the famous bullet train, and some of Japan’s most beautiful sights.

I love itineraries like this because they combine the iconic must-sees with meaningful local experiences. ❤️

If Japan has been on your list, let’s explore this one for 2027! 🇯🇵✨
