Beaches Cancun Cruise Curacao Disney
Independent Travel Packages Paris Sandals

I have been an employee-owner with CI Travel since 2000. I love working with people and I love to travel, so combining the two into a full time profession just made sense to me. Through my own travels I have accumulate experience in a variety of land packages and escorted tours that work well, not only family and friends, but for businesses and special interest groups as well.

Over the years I have attended many training seminars and completed a number of specialty courses. I am a specialist with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Holland American, Norwegian, Princess and Carnival Cruise lines; Sandals and Beaches all-inclusive resorts; Globus/Cosmos Worldwide Tours; and Walt Disney World, among others. I am also CI Travel’s only Curacao Destination Specialist.

I have visited most of the places you would expect, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Cozumel, Alaska, Canada/New England, London, Paris, and much of the U.S., to name a few. But I’ve also been to some you might not be as familiar with, like Curacao. From your first glimpse of the multi- colored buildings strung along the coastline, you’ll know you’re about to see a different Caribbean. This amazing island is home to an African heritage, Jewish culture and Spanish influence, all with a decidedly European flavor. Even the Dutch have left their mark here with 17th and 18th century architecture found nowhere else on Earth outside of the Netherlands.

I’m always interested in learning about all the great places out there to see and can’t wait to discover my next "favorite" place.
