Hello there! As a seasoned traveler and fellow West Coaster, I'm thrilled to help you discover the peace and joy of travel, whether you're seeking a serene solo escape, a romantic getaway, or a fun-filled group adventure. Born and raised in beautiful Seattle, Washington, I've spent my life exploring the stunning Pacific Northwest and beyond, with a special focus on enriching voyages departing from and returning to Seattle, Los Angeles, and Canada. My journey to becoming your personal travel guide is a unique one. After a rewarding career in real estate, I embarked on an "early retirement" to dedicate more time to my passions – ministry through teaching and singing, supporting those navigating loss, and, of course, travel! When I'm not helping others with specific projects, you might find me belting out tunes at home through karaoke, frequenting local comedy shows, or discovering hidden gems while thrifting. But what truly sets me apart is my personal dedication to the goal of just getting away sometimes. For over three decades, my husband and I have made quarterly trips the cornerstone of our lives, ranging from spontaneous weekender getaways to blissful multi-week sabbaticals. We've also woven countless planned vacations and day trips into the fabric of our family life with our children and grandchildren. This extensive personal experience means I don't just book trips; I understand the nuances of creating truly memorable and restorative journeys. So, whether you are a matured single, a couple celebrating new chapters, a retiree ready to explore, or a group seeking shared experiences, my goal is to curate meaningful, fun, and often impromptu travel destinations that bring you peace and solitude all year round. Let's work together to unlock the joys of tranquil excursions, creating memories you'll cherish for a lifetime.
