Today I manage the Luxury Travel Division of AMT Travel, but my love of travel started early.
As a child on cross country trips with my family here in the U.S. We would explore various National Parks, the lights of Las Vegas, deserts, prairies, mountains and natural wonders. I believe that this is where my love of wildlife started. Buffalo, wolves, bears and elk flourish across America, and so did I.
Then we went to Mexico, home of my father. I tasted my way through Grandma’s kitchen and experienced local wildlife. Pumas, lynxes, coyotes, armadillos, monkey species and lizards awaited me as we visited many parts of Mexico. The beautiful beaches of Mazatlán and the Yucatan backed up to the jungle combining my favorite experiences of animal wildlife and the beach.
Over thirty-five years later, my love of wildlife and beach comes into play everyday as I plan bespoke vacations to Africa, Thailand and Viet Nam, Galapagos, Croatia, Greece, Bali and Japan.
Thailand is a magical place where I have visited the elephant refuges to see the wonderful work that they are doing to protect these majestic animals. But Thailand’s people are so gracious and welcoming that I go back often to keep my local contacts fresh. My contacts will take you to the authentic food markets that have the best (and cleanest) food experiences in the area. We can also arrange for you to have a cooking class in the home of a local Thai family.
An African Safari also blends wildlife, beach, and cuisine. There is nothing like having dinner of locally prepared specialties while listening to the wildlife wake up for the evening. Staying in luxury tented camps or Lodges in the heart of Africa sets you up perfectly to head out for 2 game drives a day. I also feel that it’s important to meet the people of Africa. We can arrange a visit to local villages and towns to see the real people of Africa. A stop in South Africa at the beginning or end of your trip, to visit the best wineries and check out the beaches, rounds out your vacation.
Just as Thailand’s people, cuisine and wildlife excites me, other parts of Asia are equally enchanting. The beauty of Viet Nam surprises many. You have an “Old World Feel” in the north, the beauty of Ha Long Bay and a foodie experience while riding a Vespa in Saigon. Japan’s modern and old culture combine for an exciting trip throughout the country.
Galapagos is all about wildlife. Sea life and land life combine to make Galapagos an experience that is not duplicated anywhere else in the world. I can plan a private excursion or a small group tour with gourmet dining that will be a trip to remember the rest of your life. All you must do is get dressed in the morning and we will do the rest.
Bali is a beach experience, but that’s not all. There is wildlife, jungle, hiking and dining that are unique and special.
My experience in Europe consists of many visits to Croatia, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, Turkey, Prague.
I am definitely well travelled and able to assist in almost any travel need you may have.
If you tell me what kinds of experiences you enjoy, I will make it happen. I will provide you with the best tour guides, drivers, and hosts at every destination to provide you with the vacation of your dreams. I will provide you with insider tips and recommendations so you can truly travel “like a local”.
