Getting close to my goals each day. My journey started about 4 years ago to create a new life. Even when life and obstacles get in the way my advise to others has always been to take even a small step each day to keep moving toward your goal. That is exactly what I have been doing. I am so excited to continue my goals of sharing life in Northern California and beyond. Using my voice and creativity to spread gratitude and the joy of travel. I have promised this will be launched for a long time and I promise I am finally getting close to launch.

Have you heard of Croatia? It’s an amazing, often overlooked destination that's rapidly growing in popularity for food and wine tasting. Located just across the Adriatic Sea from Italy's eastern coast, Croatia is becoming a go-to spot for stunning yacht cruises.

Here's a fun wine fact:

Home of Zinfandel's Ancestor
Croatia is the birthplace of the Zinfandel grape! Known locally as Crljenak Kaštelanski, it was genetically identified in the 1990s as the ancestor of California’s Zinfandel, making Croatia a must-visit for wine enthusiasts.

With over 25 years of experience living and working in Napa Valley, I’ve curated countless wine experiences for guests, and Croatia's deep ties to the wine world is just one of the fascinating topics I’ll be covering in my upcoming podcast. For example, the famous Grgich Winery (Grgić Vina) in Croatia was founded in 1996 by the legendary Napa Valley winemaker, Croatian-born Miljenko "Mike" Grgich. It’s these international connections that are often overlooked, but so worth exploring.

I do regret not being able to speak directly to some of our Napa ancestors directly but my goal is to get as close to the source as possible for the podcast. Napa is a fascinating place with deep ties all over the world.

Beach Palace All Inclusive Resort Cancun, Mexico
Would you like to dip your toes into warm sand in a cold March 2025, How about $2577 for 6 nights of bliss. I have many other location and perks I can offer if you want to inquire.

My philosophy is no hard sales. I honestly want to offer you the best price and options for your vacation. If you contact me it is a friendly information gathering and telling you what is available. There are so many options for travel out there and if i offer a deal I will do my best to offer the lowest I can find on my travel agent sites. Some sites offer perks like spa certificates or free excursions, etc. You may pay $50 higher on my offering but get way more for your money in the long run. I always do my best to book direct so you never have to worry about being bumped from a flight or getting a lower class room.

Welcome to Details in Luxury and in this video we are going to give you guys an in depth look inside the All Inclusive Beach Palace Resort in Cancun , Mexico...

Im happy to share I made it through to Gold Tier Training for Virgin Voyages. I am so impressed with their cruise line. I can't wait to start sharing my knowledge. Honestly I have always said I was never really interesting in a cruise but these guys are amazing. From environmental and cultural sustainability and level of service. They really are changing the idea of cruising.

Working on my travel side but the podcast is coming soon. I know it has been a long time coming but life happened. I want to be able to give this my full attention and good things come for those who wait. So many twists and turns from losing my mom to not just podcasting about Napa Valley and wine country but expanding this to many travel experiences. While I was taking care of my family I was able to redirect and educate myself in the travel industry. My focus will be Northern California Wine touring but expanding all the to sustainable travel both environmentally and culturally while keeping the traditional lines of travel attainable. I have been discovering so many opportunities for sustainable travel that I will share and eventually podcast my discoveries.
