I took the difficult decision to sell my travel company in late 2014 so that I could spend more time with my family. The following year, I continued working for the company as an outside agent. Ellen was so gracious to give me the chance to join her team as an outside agent in 2016 and to keep working from my home office.

As someone who has always enjoyed to travel, I thought that the best way to fulfill my dream of seeing the entire world was to buy a travel business from a friend in 2004. I joined Marlin Travel two years later and have no regrets.

I've had the good fortune to go on family trips to Mexico, Panama, a cruise academy, and Italy with Marlin Associates, where my favorite stop was Venice.

Along with visiting Cancun and the Mayan Riviera, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Cozumel, Los Cabos, Panama, Hawaii, Jamaica, Antigua, Turks and Caicos, St Maarten, St Thomas, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Belize, Barbados, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, St. Lucia, and some Bahamas islands, I have also taken trips with family and friends to a variety of other locations. I routinely go to several of my favorite US cities, including New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.

One of my favorite excursions was a girl's trip I organized to Dubai in 2012, which included lots of back alley shopping and sightseeing. Fun activities included taking tea at the Ritz, seeing the Burj Khalifa, shopping some more at the Mall of Emirates, dining at the Dubai Marina, sand boarding through the desert, and riding a camel. It resembled Sex in the City exactly!

I organized and hosted a friends and family trip to London, Paris, the Canary Islands, and a Mediterranean cruise in 2014, during which we traveled to Spain, France, Greece, Turkey, and Italy, among other destinations. We spent the last five days of our trip in New York, where we saw a few shows, attended a New York Yankees game, took a tour of Yankee Stadium, and my family's favorite was the TMZ Tour.

I'm pleased to be a part of her team and plan to visit some of the places on my travel wish list, including Thailand, Bali, and Fiji, in the future.

The two TV show tours I took for "Outlander" and "Game of Thrones" were the highlights of my recent trip to Ireland, Scotland, and Denmark.

I've worked with a variety of groups, including those planning destination weddings, family vacations, cruises, Disney vacations, and all-inclusive getaways…everything is within my power!

I think that in-person service is something that online bookings cannot provide. Planning your ideal holiday will be aided by my experience and knowledge.
 

I'm still "Livin' the Dream" and can't wait to keep exploring the globe with my clients or by myself!
