WHERE LIFE MEETS TREASURED TRAVEL

I know, it's been awile since you've heard from me, but I'm back and absolutely buzzing with excitement to reconnect with you. I've been busy behind the scenes curating some incredible new announcements I can't wait to share. Get ready for insider secrets, bucket-list destinations, and all the tools you need to turn those "someday" dreams into "booking now" realities—because your next adventure is closer than you think! 

 

I hope you will join me this summer. Consider this your official invitation to fall back in love with the magic of travel—because the world is calling, and I have so many amazing ways to help you answer.

 

It doesn’t take much to push certain things off to “next year” or “someday,” does it, First name / friend – oh, and do I know! Truth be told, it is the reason I left my Corporate Executive job to chase my dream in travel.

 

⏳ The work deadlines.
⏳ The school calendar.
⏳ The budget.

⏳ Unexpected life interruptions.

 

But here’s the truth: perfect timing doesn’t really exist. It’s a myth.

 

And when it comes to our best life & dreams …(the trips that live in the back of your mind—the safari, the overwater bungalow, the multi-country itinerary you’ve been daydreaming about for a decade or longer 🥲)—it’s easy to assume you’ll get to it eventually.

 

This is your gentle nudge (and maybe a little tough love): you don’t have to wait for some magical future window. The moment to start planning? It’s closer than you think. 

 

Dare we say… it could be now.  

 

Join me this summer and let's make our dreams a priority!

Some experiences only get better with age—wine, wisdom, and well-earned perspective. But others? They’re best enjoyed while you’ve got the energy, curiosity, and flexibility to fully soak them in.

 

The most unforgettable trips are  the ones that pull you out of your routine and drop you somewhere spectacular. If any of these are on your list, consider this your sign: they’re not just worth dreaming about—they’re worth doing.

 

Here are a few bucket list experiences that deserve a spot at the top, from first hand experience--safari was the single most life-changing family vacation, my husband and I disappeared for 2 weeks on our honeymoon to Bora Bora and truly took a deep breath for a first time in our adulting lives and Machu Pichu was another 1st Sales Trip I earned. I am still working my way to Antartica with hopes of taking my boys with one of the most incredible Partners in the business. 

 

Dream big my friends and take the time to live! 

✅ Give It a Name + a Timeline: Don’t just say “someday.” Say “Our 10-Year Anniversary in South Africa” or “Next Summer’s Family Trip to Italy.” Once you name it, you can plan it.

 

✅ Reverse-Engineer the Budget: Not sure what your dream trip costs? That’s where I come in! I’ll help you understand pricing, payment timelines, and realistic expectations—so you can move from dream to decision.

 

✅ Start Early—Really Early: Many of the most sought-after destinations book 6–12+ months in advance. Planning ahead means you’ll get the best accommodations, private guides, and flights… not the leftovers.

There’s something magical about saying yes to a trip you’ve always dreamed of—and finally seeing it come to life.

 

Maybe it’s the Northern Lights. Maybe it’s two uninterrupted weeks in Italy. Maybe it’s finally taking that trip with your parents or your kids. Whatever’s on your list, I’d be honored to help you bring it to life.

 

🏆 P.S. Remember… There’s no prize for waiting until the “perfect” moment.
