Alaska is truly one of the world's most spectacular destinations - regardless of the season you visit. Options abound! Working together to plan your itinerary, I'll recommend such intriguing options and excursions as to how you can ride the last whistle-stop train in the USA, or plan your itinerary to explore and experience the largest National Park in the USA. Have I piqued your interest? I can also make arrangements for you to take part in a real sled dog tour, or make all your arrangements to take an ATV excursion to the historic village of Talkeetna - nestled at the base of North America's tallest peak, Denali.

Two of my favorite destinations on earth are Alaska and my native California.

Alaska offers unspoiled scenery, vast wilderness, spectacular glaciers, mountains, and wildlife. Travelers are spoiled for choice as our last frontier has a plethora of activities for both the adventurous type and those who prefer to visit ports of call via a luxury ship. Also, there are smaller expedition-style vessels for the active traveler that ply inland waterways for up close wildlife viewing, and often sail where the large ships cannot. In Alaska, you can kayak on the ocean, raft on rivers, watch for whales, hike, bike, or even enjoy an excursion on a vintage gold-rush-era train. The thrilling highlight of one of my journeys was landing on a glacier via an exhilarating helicopter ride!

California also showcases amazing scenery. There are redwood forests to discover, stunning ocean-front destinations like Big Sur, or Steinbeck's historic Monterey and the artist colonies in Carm

In all my travels throughout the world, I keep coming back to Alaska! In my opinion, there is no better destination than our 49th state to embrace the experiences and sheer joy that travel can provide! As you can tell, I'm passionate about this Great Land. And working together, I'll share this passion with you as we discuss whether you want your upcoming Alaska vacation as a cruise, land vacation, or both! Whether you want to embark on a land excursion to observe wildlife, be on the water to watch for whales and view the stunning glaciers, go salmon fishing, dog sledding, enjoy a scenic rail or air excursion, go zip-lining, shopping for one-of-a-kind native gifts, or simply enjoy the scenery and mingle with the locals.... Alaska is all this and so much more! Having toured and visited this state many times, I've made local industry contacts who will assist me in making sure your itinerary is seamless and perfect - regardless of how you choose to enjoy this magnificent destination.

Is an Alaskan Adventure on your horizon? I have recently visited this Great Land for another grand adventure. With each visit, I bring back a better understanding of what this last frontier has to offer. A visit to Alaska, no matter by sea or land, offers diverse options for sightseeing, culinary, and adventure to meet and exceed your every expectation.

With over 30 years in the travel industry, I can confidently say that Alaska provides the "WOW" with its natural beauty, its splendor - from magnificent wildlife to the vast mountain ranges - and this stunning beauty is truly America at its natural best! Alaska is a destination that can fit most any traveler. It's great for families, seniors, explorers, and even romance. I have arranged many variations of Alaska adventures - including cruises and customized shore excursions; as well as road, rail, and coach excursions. I can enhance your Alaska Adventure with raft trips, bear viewing, flightseeing, fishing, heli-landing, glacier hiking, dog-sledding, and wildlife viewing. I'm a firm believer that your personal vacation time should be used to the fullest - and this time is not something you can get back.

I'm proud to say that I'm an expert for Alaska as well as a specialist for Sustainable Travel.

First, Alaska. As one who lives, breathes, and experiences unique destinations - no destination better describes "a perfect day" than this "Last Frontier." I look forward to sharing with you all that Alaska showcases, and why I love this Great Land! Together, with my husband and dog, we have explored Denali many times, driven well into the Arctic Circle - including a visit to the tiny miner town of Wiseman, and stayed at the least-visited and biggest National Park in the entire USA - Wrangell St. Elias (Did you know it is the size of Switzerland?).

Next, Sustainable Travel. I am eager to work with travelers who share my passion for sustainable travel, and to create unique, one-of-a-kind itineraries to destinations throughout the world.

On my most recent visit to the Last Frontier, I experienced multiple destinations that I look forward to recommending to you for your amazing Alaska vacation. While traversing the spectacular landscapes through Anchorage, Seward, Talkeetna, Denali and Fairbanks, I toured multiple hotels, enjoyed special add-on tours, great local attractions, and a variety of cultural interests. I've not only taken multiple cruises on different cruise lines, but explored the best of Alaska by land. I've visited many of the major cities, towns and villages, and sampled local cuisine at many of the most popular restaurants. I've toured local museums, breweries, markets, and had a great time meeting local residents and learning their Alaskan lifestyle and culture.
