Area of Specialty

Disney and Universal theme parks, Europe, especially France, but really all of Europe. Warm destinations (think MN winter escape), and domestic too – New York City is a favorite.

France! I have spent a lot of time in France, and it truly fills my heart every time I get to return. I minored in French in college, and am the daughter of a French teacher, and all things France and French culture are second nature to me. I love bringing this experience into the trips I plan with clients.

I’m a traveler. I like to go, do, see, experience, and immerse myself in my destination. This is true from 16 hour days in the Disney parks, to covering some serious ground in Paris. I’m curious about new cultural experiences, and connecting with others across the world. It’s the people and connections and memory building that fuels my personal travel.

I’m a super fan of Julie Andrews. I spent 20 years leading STEM programs for kids, and I embrace my nerdiness.
I absolutely love putting my skills to use to connect, inspire, and uplift others.

I have always loved all things travel. With my international and domestic travel experience, I am so excited to offer my expertise and assist others in planning their journeys.

Area of Specialty

All-inclusive resorts. Sun and sand.

Having explored many places around the world, my favorite is Salzburg, Austria. I love the idyllic setting with the river running through the town and the mountains surrounding it, the history, and all of the “Sound of Music” sites. I also love any destination that has mountains and/or the ocean.

I like a mix of activities and relaxation, giving me a good balance of adventure and downtime.

I love gardening, especially fruits and vegetables. I enjoy hiking and being outside. We camp and canoe in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness at least once each year. I love to research destinations travel and have fun adventures with my family.

I grew up in Prior Lake, MN. I went to college at Iowa State University and moved back to the Twin Cities after graduation. I spent much of my childhood traveling around the US and that love of travel stuck with me.

Area of Specialty

European travel.

Western Germany. From the Black Forest, to the Cologne Cathedral; the entire region is beautiful. Seeing barges and river cruises traveling down the Rhine surrounded by large hills lined with castles is surreal.

Constant adventure! I want to keep moving and seeing new things each day.

I coach High School Track and Volleyball.
I have a very good dog named Rusty.
I have lived in Minnesota, Colorado, and Iowa.

I grew up in Minnesota. I am a former Middle School science teacher. I am married and we have the Brady Bunch. We traveled a lot as a family when I was younger and that has carried into my adulthood. I have traveled all over the US and have been to Mexico multiple times, along with enjoying cruises.

Area of Specialty

All-inclusive Resorts, cruises, southern US

My favorite destination is Mexico. I love the warmth and sun.

I enjoy relaxation and entertainment. Although, depends on the destination. As a teacher I enjoy going on adventures and learning.

I LOVE sports, both playing and watching. I still play softball and volleyball every summer. I am a huge Vikings fan (I know). My husband has seen all the major MLB stadiums and we are hoping to re-do all of them; I have three stadiums under my belt so far.

I have always loved to travel, as a child my dream was to be a flight attendant. I love to help plan vacations and save money so you can take more adventures!

Area of Specialty

Cruise, Domestic, All Inclusive

I love to go on cruises; my favorite so far has been Alaskan out of Seattle. Although I long for warm temps when I vacation the scenery was beautiful.

Relaxations, tropical, easy, inexpensive.

I have lived in Minnesota, South Dakota and New Mexico. I was born in North Dakota but never lived there. I love to play games, as long as no charades. 😉 I have taken the scuba diving class but never did the open water dive. (Bucket List to complete that!)
