Australia

Australia: it's a big journey for a lot of us, but it will change your life forever. This vast country has everything: exotic wilderness, unusual wildlife, stunning wine country and the Great Barrier Reef. Between that and the world-class shopping, pristine beaches, ace dining and wild local flavor, you're going to want to plan a trip where you can see it all.  As a professional travel planner who specializes in this area of the world, I can help you plan every detail of your trip so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride. The sooner we start, the better - contact me today and let's get started!

St. Thomas

You can always do St. Thomas the tourist's way, but why not enlist the help of a local? Born in St. Kitts and raised in St. Thomas, my roots and my passion lie in this beautiful area of the Caribbean. Nowadays, I return home frequently; it's my job as a professional travel planner, after all, to discover and inspect new hotel properties, dine in restaurants and check out new shops. When I visit properties, I look at ambiance, service and price points, so I can offer my clients concrete recommendations based on their interests and budgets. Speaking of saving money, St. Thomas is a thrifty shopper's dream - deservedly famous for its world-class tax-free shopping (think Rodeo Drive with a Caribbean flair) - but also offers wild water sports, excellent dining, a colorful local culture and picture-postcard beaches. Call or email me today and let me introduce you to the island I know and love.

Cruise - Caribbean

Take it from a professional travel planner and Caribbean native: all cruise lines are not created equal. Born and raised in the Caribbean, I have experienced both the successes and failings of different cruise lines over the course of my 20 years in the planning business. Today's cruise market is packed with so many options it's enough to make you want to just choose one and be done; but it would be my pleasure to share my extensive knowledge with you and help you pick just the right one. Together, we'll figure out which line works best for you and your traveling companions based on your specific needs, interests and budgets, and then talk island activities and more. Don't waste another second debating which cruise is right for you - drop me a line and let me help match you to your dream Caribbean cruise.
