For those who love to collaborate on their travel dreams, let my 22 years of relationship building in the industry VIP you and introduce you to options you never knew existed! Relationships and firsthand experience as an advisor and agency owner, as well as a sales manager for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company serve travelers well in so many aspects of their travels. As an agency owner and advisor with the background of a sales manager for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, let this experience and amazing friends globally, offer custom experiences for life memories!
Our family took a year-long trip to the seven continents May 2019-March 2020 (Covid cut a tad short of the year) so it is a dream to assist others in immersive and extended travels. We even have teachers ready to assist you in creating curriculum based on the travels!
My passion is cultural and adventure travel along with the immersive experiences. I am an Aussie Specialist, South African Specialist, yachtalist and honeymoon/destination wedding specialist. A strong belief of travel being an amazing education as “boundaries divide and travel unites”. Go Noles!
