Unlike many of my colleagues, I was not a born traveler.
Other than the occasional road trip, my parents aversion to flying meant we didn't stray very far, but they did instill in me the passion that there are adequate ways to experience something or some place, and there are memorably superior ways...
and life is too short for option A!

Fortunately for my wanderlust and Option B attitude, I married a seasoned world traveler who made it his mission to get my passport stamped, so my very first flight (and first trip out of the country) was our honeymoon to St. Maarten. This happened to coincide with a flight attendant strike resulting in all sorts of hiccups and delays, but as an apology for our troubles,
we were upgraded to First Class
and presented two lovely glasses of champagne before takeoff.





Since that first flight over thirty years ago, I have been fortunate enough to explore and learn and experience and share
in amazing destinations all around the globe.
I make it my mission to dive in and "live like a local"
and experience something off the beaten and typical path everywhere that I go.

Of course nothing tops the amazing experiences I've had in my own home of  New Orleans, where I am a New Orleans Destination and Destination Wedding Specialist, encouraging first-time or even frequent visitors to go




and find the luxury and unique experiences we so proudly offer.

With a second home in Celebration, Florida, I am often right in the middle of the MAGIC,
and this allows me to continue to tweak my 



approach  to all Disney Destinations (land and sea) because there is luxury to be found everywhere, even while wearing mouse ears.

My travels, and those I've planned for others, have all been out of the ordinary experiences and memory-filled adventures that resulted from many, MANY  hours of meticulous planning.
For years, my travel planning was limited to that of a passionate hobby, what I'd try to find time for when I wasn't teaching elementary school or managing an art gallery,
two former stops on my career path.

Then one day, empty-nesting presented itself, along with the opportunity to turn my passion into a full-time profession, and join and contribute to the industry which had brought me so much joy and growth over the years.

And all of this led to the birth of...

And that is the day
a Luxury Travel Advisor was born!
