I am a Chicago native where I currently reside with my husband and twin boys. I enjoy the amenities my city has to offer, including the hiking trails near my home. Chicago offers a rich culture however I have always had a wanderlust spirit to experience other destinations whether it was the rustic Colorado mountains, chic and historic European cities or the beaches of Hawaii. I began planning domestic and international trips for my family and friends for which I have been doing for over 20 years. My desire and goal is to provide you with an authentic experience where you can immerse yourself in the adventure, see the world and create everlasting memories.

Maui is my heaven on earth, it's beauty is like no other! Our favorite place to stay is in Lahaina which is a breathtaking vibrant town. Next stop is Ka'anapali which has the hotels, shops and stunning sunsets. Not a far drive is Kapalua which is home to the famous Kapalua Golf Course - something my husband never passes up! Your trip to Maui wouldn’t be complete without taking the famous road to Hana. Along the way, stop in Paia which is a quant hippie town located just before you start the road to Hana. Trust me, I could talk endlessly about Maui however it is truly a paradise you must experience firsthand!

They say Rome wasn't built in a day and once you are there, you are understand why. Rome explodes with fashion, food and the Ferrari! ...however it is Rome's history that captures my heart and there is so much to take in...a private guided tour of the Pantheon, the Colosseum and the Vatican are 'must-see's'. You can also climb 135 steps of the famed The Spanish Steps and reward your self with a gelato afterwards or go throw a coin in at the famous Trevi fountain to make a wish. Both monuments are stunningly beautiful and romantic. My husband and I also loved Piazza del Popole, which is the largest piazza or square in the city. The food, music and culture are why Rome is a destination required for everyone's bucket list!

Colorado is a destination with a boundless adventure in both winter and summer seasons. In winter we have skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling so get your snow boots! For summer we have mountain climbing ziplining, horseback riding and white water rafting. Don't pass up the opportunity to visit one of the many hot springs Colorado has to offer. My husband and I love to cap off our Colorado trips at the Glenwood Hot Springs located at the end of the gorgeous Glenwood Canyon. When there we enjoy the luxurious spa for massages after soaking in the natural heated water and minerals of the Glenwood Hot Springs.
