Not just an advisor, but a traveller

As a travel advisor and owner of Immersive Travel Experiences, I work closely with you so that I can provide a high level of service. That means I am with you from the time we start planning your trip until you arrive home … and even afterwards.

Personally, I love to travel! I find it very rewarding on many levels. I have learned a great deal from my visits to many destinations and the friendships that I have made over the years have taught me much as well. Often, I am asked what is my favourite place.  Honestly, I find it difficult to answer because each has offered something that has impacted my life.

Some of my Highlights

Some of my travel highlights include hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu — twice, taking safaris in Africa, wandering through the souks in Morocco, and touring through the Golden Triangle in India.

I have explored many interesting sites in countries throughout Europe, including standing in Flanders Fields in Belgium, kissing the Blarney Stone in Ireland, being surrounded by Monet’s water lilies in l’Orangerie in France, exploring the rich history of Poland, and visiting the many picturesque castles of Germany.

Experience and Education

Extensive travel experiences, coupled with my continuous education in the industry, have given me valuable insight that helps my clients significantly. I partner with suppliers that I have built strategic and strong relationships over the years. All of these efforts combined provide me with the knowledge and expertise help to prepare you for your journey and make your time in destination a truly memorable experience.

Training is important to me, so I am continuously updating my skills:

  • Adventure Travel Specialist
  • Certified Cruise Counsellor
  • National Geographic Journeys Specialist
  • AmaWaterways Certified Advisor
  • Oceania Certified Advisor
  • Peru Specialist
  • Ireland Specialist
