Action and Adventure Travel

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page." As a teacher of literature and a life long traveler, This quote from St. Augustine defines my love for travel.  My father taught me at an early age that the best education can come from the experiences we gain from travel.   As a family, we traveled all over the United States and Mexico.  I spent a semester of college on Chapman College's World Campus Afloat and circumnavigated the globe.  So far, I have visited over 140countries and all 7 continents, and have still not lost the wanderlust.

In 1996, still in the midst of my teaching career, I began arranging group trips for teachers.  After retiring in 2004, I decided to turn my passion for travel into a new career.  I have arranged several destination weddings and group trips, booked many cruises, all inclusive vacations, and tours.  But, what I enjoy most is putting together custom itineraries to exotic places like Africa and Asia, as well as the more familiar places like Europe, South and Central America, and Australia.

Living on the Gulf Coast of Florida, I am also very familiar with cruising out of New Orleans and all Florida ports.

I look forward to working with you and making your travel dreams come true!

Africa captured my heart on my first visit in 1971

Getting to know the children of Africa

I never pass up a chance to see another part of Africa. The people, the customs, the adventure, and of course, the animals. Every trip I've taken brings all new experiences and new people. On our last visit, we encountered school children playing soccer with cabbages. When we returned home, we sent a box of soccer balls to our guide. On another visit, we bought piglets to deliver t o grandmothers who are raising their grandchildren and we sang and danced with the grannies as we helped them prepare a fabulous feast for us.
