After years in the corporate world, I retired and started Elite Travel Adventures so I could spend my time on something that actually lights me up: helping people get away and make memories that last.
I plan ocean and river cruises, all-inclusive resorts, family vacations and group trips. Groups are where I'm headed next, so if your family, friends, or club has been talking about a trip together for years, this is your sign to finally make it happen. You bring the people, and I'll handle the details that usually stall a group trip before it ever gets booked.
I'm a dedicated, detail-oriented travel advisor who truly believes life is meant to be lived, explored, and celebrated. I love helping people plan meaningful trips, whether it's a long-awaited getaway, an exciting adventure, or simply some much-needed time away.
Life has taught me that the most valuable thing we can do is prioritize our own well-being and fiercely protect the moments that truly matter. Stop waiting for the perfect time to take that dream trip. Give yourself permission to pause, pack your bags, and go build the memories you'll look back on forever.
I'll take care of the details, make planning easier, and help you create a trip you'll remember for years to come.
A cruise or an all-inclusive looks simple online. The details are where it gets tricky, and that's exactly where I come in.
Ocean or river, big ship or small, lively or laid back. Every cruise line has its own personality, and I help you match the ship, cabin and itinerary to the way you actually like to travel.
Resort fees, gratuities, transfer times, passport rules and travel protection all change the real cost of a trip. I walk you through them up front so nothing catches you off guard.
Group trips fall apart on the little things: different arrival days, different room needs, and a group text nobody can keep up with. I keep everyone booked on the same trip and looking at the same plan.
(and what usually gets in the way)
Most people want the same things from a vacation: real downtime, good food, a little adventure, and time with the people they love without anyone stuck fixing a problem.
What gets in the way is the planning. Comparing ships and resorts across a dozen tabs, figuring out what's actually included, lining up flights with a sailing date, and getting a whole group to commit at the same time. That's a lot, especially when you only plan a big trip once or twice a year.
That part comes off your plate. Tell me who's going, what you love, and what you're comfortable investing, and I'll come back with options that fit. Once you book, I build your day by day itinerary so everyone knows what's happening and when.
These are the trips I love planning most. Don't see yours? Ask me anyway.
Caribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean and beyond. I help you pick the line, the ship and the cabin that fit your crew, and think through the pieces around it, like getting to port the day before.
Smaller ships, a new town almost every day, and very little time spent packing and unpacking. I help you choose the river, the itinerary and the excursions that match what you want to see.
Not every all-inclusive is created equal. Some are made for families, some are adults only, and what's actually included varies a lot. I help you find the resort that fits the way you want to spend your days.
Friends, extended family, milestone celebrations, or a club that finally wants to travel together. I keep everyone on the same trip and the details organized, so the organizer gets to enjoy the vacation too.
Traveling with kids, grandparents, or three generations at once takes a little extra planning. I look at room setups, kids clubs, activities and timing so everyone has a good trip, not just the person who planned it.
Ziplines, hiking, golf, or that bucket list trip you keep putting off. If you want more than a beach chair, I'll help you build a trip with the right amount of adventure for you.
How do I get started?
Click Submit an Inquiry above and tell me who's traveling, roughly when, and what kind of trip you have in mind. I'll take it from there.
Do you plan group trips?
Yes, and I love them. Send me a rough headcount, the dates you're considering and the kind of trip your group wants, whether that's a cruise, an all-inclusive or a milestone celebration, and I'll help get everyone booked on the same plan.
Ocean cruise or river cruise. How do I choose?
Ocean cruises are great for beaches, sea days and big ship fun. River cruises are smaller and quieter, with a new town almost every day. Tell me how you like to travel and I'll help you figure out which one fits.
How far ahead should I start planning?
Sooner is better, especially for groups, holidays and school breaks, because the best cabins and room types go first. Even if your dates aren't locked in yet, it's worth reaching out.
Do you charge a planning fee?
Because every trip I plan is custom, a planning fee may apply. I'll always let you know before we get started.
Can you help with travel insurance?
Yes. I'll walk you through travel protection options before you book so you can decide what makes sense for your trip.
What happens after I book?
I build your day by day itinerary so your confirmations and plans live in one place, and everyone traveling knows what's happening and when.
Email is the best way to reach me.
