What do you love about travel?

I love traveling and have been doing it extensively for nearly 40 years! From river cruises in Bordeaux and the beaches of Sicily to trips to the islands of Hawaii and the glaciers of Alaska, not to mention the glitz of Vegas and glamping in Montana. I’ve traveled with my husband, friends, family, and children, as well as groups of 50 people. If you’re looking for someone who takes your travel seriously, I’m your person. Whether your dream vacation is the Gold Leaf luxury train in the Canadian Rockies, an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean, or the vineyards of France, chances are I’ve been there and can help you design your trip of a lifetime.

What has been your favorite trip?

Being in the business for almost 39 years, I have been given so many beautiful opportunities, it’s hard to pick just one, but I’ll go with this: I was offered to visit what they call the American Safari, better known as the Luxury Resort in Montana called Paws Up Ranch. Anyone who knows me wouldn’t think this isn’t a place for me, but it was fabulous! They offer you the beauty of a luxury hotel in a tent… or you can also stay in different size homes. You’re a luxury cowgirl for as long as you stay there. The breathtaking views of the snow-covered mountains, buffalo, horses, yoga, an incredible spa, hiking, mountain climbing, zipline course, farm-to-table meals, and open fireplace made for an incredible experience. Plus, private chefs come to your house to cook if requested. All this on 37,000 acres of pure beauty and flowing rivers. I was very nervous it was going to be out of my comfort zone, but I would go there again in a heartbeat. It was an amazing experience and an outstanding luxury ranch resort.
