Travel has been in my blood since an early age! My appreciation for travel was ignited as a child and grew as I entered my teen and college years...participating in the Tempe Sister Cities student exchange program in Regensburg, Germany, climbing pyramids in Mexico during winter break, studying abroad and living with a host family in San Jose, Costa Rica and teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) for two summers in Eger, Hungary after college graduation. Although my career path did not initially take me down the path of travel, I sought as many opportunities as possible to see the world, checking off New Zealand, Germany, Italy, France, British Columbia, Alaska and Hawaii as destinations visited and adding many more to my ever-growing "bucket list!" As an Independent Travel Consultant with Critics Choice Vacations I have the privilege to create the ultimate travel experience for my clients through detailed, personalized and sophisticated travel planning.
