I was born and raised in the east end of London, England. You might say I know London like the back of my hand! I have also traveled extensively throughout my home country and around Europe.
I spent nearly 20 years working for Her Majesty’s Government at the British Embassy in DC. Having escorted British and American VIPs on trips here and abroad, I am well-equipped to organize unique, fascinating, and worry-free holidays. I have seen Europe by car, rail, ship, and bicycle. My goal is to ensure that all of my clients enjoy jolly-good holidays that leave them with treasured memories.
My Favorite Destinations
PARIS
One word can describe Paris – SHOPPING! If you love to shop, then everyone should visit Paris at least once in their life. And of course, great wine and museums.
PLAYA DEL CARMEN, MEXICO
This little town along the Caribbean coast of the Riviera Maya, is one of my favorite options for all-inclusive. Beautiful beaches and within walking distance of this quaint town great for both food and shopping.
BUDAPEST
Hungarian food has always been a favorite of mine. And the servings you will receive will not disappoint. Shopping, sightseeing and the friendliness of Hungarians make you feel like you are at home.
JAMAICA
I love the laid back lifestyle, customer service and hospitality. It is always over the top! Many all-inclusive options at different price points in Ochos Rios, Montego Bay and Negril.
Favorite Type of Travel
Cruising gives the traveler the ability to settle in, relax and feel at home if only for a week or so. It’s great visiting 4-5 countries and still being able to sleep in the same bed every night. I am knowledgeable about all of the ocean and river cruise lines.
Favorite Travel Experience
Transiting the Panama Canal—one of the wonders of the world—on my honeymoon cruise!
