With over 15 years in the travel industry—including 13 years in airline management—I bring unmatched expertise in logistics, customer service, and destination planning.As a Certified Travel Advisor and cruise specialist, I’ve sailed with top suppliers like Carnival, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Princess; and MSC, and I know how to match each traveler with the right ship, itinerary, and stateroom.I specialize in Caribbean cruises, having personally visited nearly every island—from Aruba and St. Lucia to the hidden gems most travelers miss. I’ve also cruised through Tahiti, Hawaii, Alaska, and the Mediterranean, including iconic stops like Bora Bora, Moorea, Venice, and Christmas Island.
