Active Adventure Travel. This is the kind of travel that I crave! I've been a professional travel advisor for nearly 25 years, and it is incredibly satisfying to help my fellow wandering spirits to experience our beautiful and diverse planet with a carefully planned, eco-conscious itinerary that is sensitive to land, sea, and local cultures.

To say that I’m an outdoor enthusiast who loves adventure and active travel is an understatement. For example, last spring I was in French Polynesia, and was able to take a long hike to a hidden waterfall in Moorea, swim with sharks and stingrays in Bora Bora, and bike around a secluded island in Tetiaroa. I’m definitely an “active outdoorsy” person who grew up playing multiple sports and spending weekends camping, hiking, or fishing on the numerous rivers and lakes around my hometown in Northern California.

How do you define “Adventure?” How do you define “Active Adventurer”? These are two important questions for you to define and for us to discuss so that I will know what your “comfort level” is and what you want to accomplish on your active travel adventure. There is no right or wrong answer to these questions rather it’s what YOU want to do, experience, and what will provide you with precious memories to last your lifetime.

I am passionate about Space and Astronomy and Active Adventure Travel. My enthusiasm for adventure - is truly out of this world! And I'd like to take you with me. I've worked at the Kennedy Space Center, volunteered with NASA in their outreach program and, and served as a Docent at the Space Force Space and Missile Museum. Additionally, I was an Accredited Space Agent (ASA) with Virgin Galactic.

As an avid traveler with over two decades of experience and knowledge in the travel industry, my expertise extends far beyond simply providing adrenaline rushes or ticking off bucket-list destinations. To fully meet and exceed your expectations, I want to work with you to weave together experiences that spark a fulfilling connection with our world, e.g. sampling the local cuisine while on a cycling adventure through Italy, taking a hot balloon ride over the Serengeti; or hiking to the Libyan Sea. I am committed to responsible tourism, advocating for sustainable practices, and encouraging – and practicing – a deep respect for the environments that we explore.

In my 35 years of traveling, I have been fortunate to have traveled to over 100 countries, been around the world on a private jet, taken over 80 cruises, experienced all seven continents, and enjoyed many, many diverse and exciting tours. Personally, I love to ski, hike, and bike... and have done so all over the world. I truly look forward to active, adventurous travel because it's our best opportunity to not only see and explore many of our world's most exciting destinations... but to truly experience that destination as well.

What I love best about my exciting career in the travel industry is the opportunity to explore this world as an active adventure traveler and to experience - in depth - one of my favorite destinations: Israel. Now, I'm eager to share both with you!

I have a passion for travel and when I travel, I like to delve deep into the destination's culture, learning the history of each place, along with getting to know the people: their traditions, customs, food, and so much more. I especially adore Adventure & Wellness Travel - as it is what I do most and what I do best. I love connecting with the outdoors, seeing the world actively, and experiencing heart-pumping adventures. I'm also very passionate about health, fitness, and overall wellness - both physical and mental. I truly believe that traveling - and to focus on renewing and refreshing oneself - is good for the mind, body and soul. Whether I'm exploring a big city or an exotic location, I always engage in some type of adventure and/or wellness travel that allows me to embrace nature, explore new cultures, expand mindfulness, or participate in active excursions.

Have you ever considered rock climbing or mountain e-biking in the Dolomites? How about the adrenaline rush of the Costa Rican Mount Arenal Zip Line on your next getaway? Or, perhaps it's driving a fast sports car at a world-class Grand Prix race track situated in the heart of Germany's Eifel mountains. Maybe, you want to challenge your fitness level climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. If your interest and enthusiasm are now piqued by these suggestions - we need to talk! I'm both a professional and highly-skilled travel advisor, very active adventurer and explorer, with a lifelong passion for active adventure. I still remember my father lacing ski boots for me just as soon as I could walk! My adventures over the years include incredibly exciting scuba diving expeditions in the Marquesas Islands of Polynesia, diving with the sharks in the Galapagos, hiking and biking throughout Europe, heli-skiing the Canadian Rockies, river rafting the different waters from Oregon to Alaska, cruising The Upper Amazon basin, an exciti
