About Me

Born in Flint, Michigan, I began my love for travel at the age of 14 when I took my first solo plane ride to Atlanta, Georgia. My dream as a child was to be a flight attendant so I could meet people and travel the world…that is until I learned I did not meet the height requirements. I have always had a passion for learning and therefore travel was inevitable in my eyes. I love visiting new places and exploring the history, culture, and customs. I consider myself a “foodie” so finding the best places to eat is one of my many pleasures when traveling.

I love the beach and travel often to nearby Florida beaches and the Caribbean. I have traveled to Jamaica (and all its cities) and Punta Cana on several occasions. I also love visiting Canada when afforded the opportunity. I have traveled within the states to Boston, Atlantic City, Nashville, Huntsville, Birmingham, Charleston, San Antonio, Dallas, New Orleans, Omaha, St. Louis, Tulsa, Charlotte, Phoenix, and Martha’s Vineyard. My favorite trip was through Oregon seeing all the sites the state had to offer such as Cannon Beach, Multnomah Falls, and the Willamette Valley for wine tasting. Most recently, I traveled to Las Vegas to a music festival with friends for a fun girls’ getaway. My bucket list for international travel includes Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Tanzania, and St. Barts.

As I continue to grow my own travel experiences, I love to plan luxury and budget-friendly travel to explore the world and make memories. Life is short and you should relish the time you can spend doing things that bring you joy. It is my belief that the more you travel the more you learn about other people, other cultures, other communities, and you also learn a lot about yourself.  I would love to help you find your next adventure.

I was born in the Philippines and moved to the United States at the age of 11. Living in California and being exposed to a melting pot of people with diverse backgrounds has made me curious to learn about different cultures and languages. In the summer of 2022, I was able to do a short study abroad trip in Costa Rica. Aside from this, I have traveled all over California and have taken trips back to the Philippines with the last one being the summer of 2023.

These experiences have helped expand and shape my view of what travel means to me.
From experiencing life in other parts of the world, discovering local forests, making memories with strangers, or walking through the busiest cities in the world, travel is something that connects us all and gives us the opportunity to see life in each other’s eyes.

My love for travel began in 2012 when I first visited Italy, where I immediately fell in love with their culture, including their art, history, food, and fashion. From that moment onward, I knew I had to explore as many countries as possible.

So far, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Italy, Iceland, Germany, Spain, France, Canada, and Mexico. I can’t wait to revisit them and continue exploring new countries!

As a California native, my go-to getaway is our lovely Pacific Coast, from the San Francisco coastline all the way down to the coastal area of Pismo. There’s nothing that beats a cool sea breeze on a warm summer day as you watch sea otters and sea lions basking in the sun on the beach, while enjoying a clam chowder sourdough bread bowl from the Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey, CA.

This photo was captured at my Spring 2023 travel trip to Cancun, Mexico.

I started off my career as a nurse with the passion to help people. I was raised in a loving home with a big Italian culture. My family instilled in me all the amazing morals and independent values required for success in life, and I always knew helping others was my calling and natural nature.

In the past 20 years I’ve traveled mostly to the Hawaiian Islands and Mexico, as I love the tropical island vibe and warm weather! I’ve hiked the mountain trails chasing waterfalls, snorkeled, swam with Manta rays, explored the volcanoes and much more! Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Texas were also regular destinations with family and friends. Each travel adventure just made me realize I want to explore more of the world outside of the USA! I have friends and family that have helped me in making those dreams reality and now have a scheduled trip to Europe in June! Besides the love for helping others and traveling, my hobbies are attending concerts, sporting events, home decorating and outdoor activities exploring nature. If there is a beach nearby I will find it. I also love to spend quality time with my amazing children and grandson.

I would be honored and excited to help you plan your dream vacation to discover new places and make unforgettable memories. Whether you’re craving beaches, cultural experiences, or thrilling adventures, let’s work together to create a stress free journey tailored just for you.
