Get your advice from someone who takes the time to get certified as a travel industry expert


I am constantly striving to learn about the different cruise lines and travel providers, their unique characteristics, and their strengths and weaknesses - all to best advise you.  This is in addition to the training I have received through my host agency, KHM Travel Group.


I am also a member in good standing of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA); the world's largest cruise industry trade association with representation in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australasia.


Fun fact - every picture on this website was taken by me while traveling - no stock photos here !!

If you look to the horizon, where do you see yourself traveling.....?


I'm here to help you bring that vision into focus.....and the best part is YOU don't pay me anything. I never charge a fee, my commission is paid as part of the booking, and if I can't meet or beat their price I will tell you that and wish you bon voyage.  And if it is out of my wheelhouse I will get you to someone with my host agency (KHM Travel) that can better serve you.


OK Bob, why do I need you when I can go on the cruise/resort/tour company website directly?  You don't....but then who will you use to compare one cruise line to another. to tell you how the drink package works or whether it makes sense, or to tell you to give yourself at least 2 hours to clear customs when flying into Rome.  You don't use a travel agent for expediency, you use them for their experience, their contacts, and their knowledge (and the knowledge of all of the other agents I can rely on and ask questions of).


Yeah, but you aren't a full time agent, how can you help?  First of all, that is my strength, not a weakness - I'm not here to make money off of everyone and upsell you on the trips that pay me the biggest commissions....especially since I will only book for friends/family and their direct referrals. Secondly, I am doing this because I truly love to research trips and travel and find the best price for the best experience.  So why not make some extra money off of something I love to do; and then turn around and use it to travel even more.  Finally, because you will have someone to bounce ideas off of, call with questions, and to help with emergencies that doesn't have 400 clients to handle - I will be responsive and get back to you within 48 hours (unless I am on a trip myself).
