Traveling is truly my passion and I enjoy sharing this passion with my clients. With close to 20 years in the industry selling travel, I can honestly say "I love what I do!" Every day, I learn something new; become more immersed in a destination and its culture and am eager to share this new knowledge with my clients. I love establishing relationships and building trust with my clients -as, over the years, many have become like "family" to me. With regard to my specialty - river cruising - I now know and understand why so many first-time river cruisers come back home ready to plan their next river adventure! River cruising offers you both a relaxing vacation as you leisurely ply inland rivers and meander through town centers while viewing spectacular scenery and countryside. But once you dock, get ready for fun excursions and sightseeing adventures and the opportunity to experience the best your port of call has to offer.

Designing and crafting the perfect vacation, adventure, or getaway for you is what I do best. My expertise runs the gamut from sharing my personal experiences and expertise to "paint a picture" of what your perfect River Cruise adventure will be, and what your perfect California getaway can be. Let's get started!

As your professional River Cruise specialist, we'll begin your journey with my learning which river and itinerary will best provide you the experience you're seeking. River cruising can be enjoyed on waterways in many enticing destinations throughout the world! Having sailed on more than 30 river cruises, I will share my personal experiences to paint you a picture of each river itinerary and what sets one apart from another.

Next, and closer to home, we'll explore California. Although Santa Ana is my home town, I truly consider the entire state of California as my home. Let me share with you just a sample of all the fun excursions I can craft for you.

River Cruising can be defined in many ways and will appeal to many travelers because of the excellent and diverse variety of itineraries, destinations and themes. What sets me apart from other professional travel advisors is that I've experienced a distinct variety of not only itineraries but also a variety of specific themed cruises. I've done a river cruise on the Amazon River - definitely off-the-beaten-path! I've also recently experienced and enjoyed a themed cruise that sailed from Budapest to Prague and focused on Jewish history. I look forward to meeting with you and talking about all your options! I'll share with you such enticing topics/themes as wine, military history, the pyramids of Egypt, tulips in Holland, or a special itinerary that offers an added African Safari excursion. With over three decades experience in the travel industry working with clients, I know how to match you, your personality and your interests to the right ship, itinerary, special focus, and best excursions.

I am a travel expert - specializing in both Solo Travel and River Cruising. As a River Cruise Specialist, I can help you discover, the best cruise line, the best river, and best accommodations to create a memorable experience. Over the past 30 years, I've been fortunate to have experienced much of this world - both by land and sea. As a Master Cruise Counselor, I was fortunate to be part of the quickly growing popularity of river cruising. I learned about the best rivers and inland waterways that these new vessels would cruise - not only throughout Europe, but Southeast Asia, the USA, and Africa and other destinations throughout the world.

For over two decades travel has been both my profession and my passion. I love it! Now, I'm eager to share this passion with you as an expert in both RIVER CRUISING and for ITALY. I love what I do and what I do best is to learn about you - so that I can match you, your budget, personal interests and expectations with the best river cruise line or best personalized itinerary for your Italian holiday as is possible. There is so much to see and do and so many options and opportunities to make this vacation the best ever. My goal: To create a seamless itinerary that will meet and exceed your every expectation. Let me share with you my two passions in travel: Italy and River Cruising - and to provide you with an "Experience Extraordinary" ...filled with memories to last a lifetime!

I look forward to sharing with you this delightful and relaxing way to see the best of our world's inland waterways. My specialty is European River Cruising and I've been hooked ever since my first river cruise in 2014. Since then, I've taken seven more European river cruises and learned something new on each itinerary. I've sailed and experienced several different lines and I'm eager to share with you the different amenities, services and itineraries that each offers so that together - I can match you with the right vessel and itinerary.
