How My Journey Began

Travel has been part of my life from the beginning. Growing up, my parents spent every summer and Christmas break road-tripping across the United States and Canada, sparking my lifelong love of exploration. In high school, my family hosted an exchange student, and in college I studied abroad in Europe. Before becoming a parent, I worked for a tour company and served as an assistant tour manager to Russia. Later, my own family continued the tradition by hosting several exchange students.

My travels have taken me across four continents, on countless road trips throughout the U.S., and to 35 national parks. Now that my children are grown, I'm diving back into planning new adventures. Most recently, I sailed to the Dry Tortugas, a true bucket-list experience.
