My love affair with travel dates back to when my family moved to Australia when I was four years old. We went on to live in Brazil and the UK, every year taking trips to new destinations.

I earned Bachelors and Masters degrees at the University of Florida, with additional studies in Norway, France, Austria and Brazil.

My career spanned working internationally for IBM, Time Warner Cable, Turner Broadcasting and Conservation International. I have owned my own travel company for over 8 years.

Dovetailing my love of travel is a passion for languages, including Portuguese, French, Spanish, German and Swedish and a bit of spaghetti Italian that somehow works.

Intrigued by the world since childhood, I have traveled to some 80 countries…many several times. From discovering grand cities to delving deep into the wilderness, I am a born explorer and love to help others discover the world and their dreams.
