There is nothing more enlightening than seeing the world through the eyes of my children.

My passion for travel was planted at a very young age. I fondly remember taking summer road trips, driving East to West and North to South across the U.S., visiting family and friends, and seeing the sights along the way. Growing up in the hotel business, I spent time “helping out” in various capacities and eventually served as the hotel’s Director of Marketing, before moving to Washington, DC to pursue a Master of Business Administration. I lived and worked in DC for over a decade – traveling extensively, both for business and pleasure. My travels took me across the U.S., Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada. Now, living in Atlanta, I continue to plant the travel seeds with my family.
