I have cruised the rivers of Europe on exceptional brands such as AMA waterways, Uniworld river Cruises, Avalon and Viking River Cruises. I cruised the Rhine, Rhone, Seine along with the Danube and I fell in love with the Christmas markets in Vienna. Walked the steps of Maria in the church she married in the sound of music tour outside of Salzburg while visiting the oldest sausage restaurant in Regensburg all on the Danube. My recent cruise with Tulip time in the Netherlands exploring windmills, enjoying the best Belgium waffles in Belgium and the amazing and world renowned Keukenhof flower gardens that will miles of tulips as far as the eye could see.

I have traveled extensively through Europe. Italy stole my heart! I loved the beautiful rolling hills of Tuscany, having the best lasagna with fresh pasta in Bologna, being serenaded on the gondola canal ride in Venice and touring the majestic Vatican. It’s the people, the history, the food and of course the wine! OPA, I spend some time in Santorini, Mykonos and Athens, Greece. Some of my other favorite’s travels included kissing the Blarney stone in Ireland, taking in the incredible history and scenery of Germany, taking pictures from the top of the Eiffel tower, watching the changing of the guard in London riding the trains thru Switzerland, enjoying the ancient cities in Croatia and singing the “the hills are alive with the sound of music” in Salzburg.

I am Aussie specialist and have experienced firsthand the wonders of Australia (3 times) and New Zealand. I have snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef, spent time in the heart of Australia's Red Centre, I was pampered. pampered at exclusive Lizard Island Resort on the Great Barrier Reef and Thala Beach resort in Port Douglas north of Cairns – both are two of the most exclusive resorts in the region. I have visited the Twelve Apostles, a UNESCO world heritage site, and the exclusive Great Ocean Lodge and watched the kangaroo' s bounce around on Kangaroo Island. They are just a few of the incredible experiences Australia has to offer.

Some of my more exotic travels included riding elephants in Thailand and doing a back street culinary tour in Istanbul, Turkey. Swimming with sharks in Tahiti and exploring Moorea, Bora Bora in overwater bungalows. There are so many details of your journey. I understand the importance of making your trip not just about the flight and hotel but really experiencing the destination. Looking forward to your request- your travelist!

If exploring uncharted territory appeals to you but you aren’t quite ready for a trip on Blue Origin’s space shuttle, a trip to Antarctica might be just the ticket.

Hurtigruten Expeditions have been sailing the waters between Chile and Antarctica for 20 years, and their captains and crew have combined experience of over 125 years in sailing polar waters. The ships are equipped with every possible navigation and safety feature as well as a science center where the expedition team members share their considerable knowledge of wildlife and polar ecology. However, creature comforts haven’t been overlooked. Hot tubs and a sauna, a complete gym facility and a welcoming lounge and world class restaurants are also part of the picture.

What are some of the reasons that travel to Antarctica is so extraordinary?

The sheer beauty of the scenery—totally unspoiled with dazzling views of icebergs and vast mountain ranges. Photographers will be in heaven!

The variety of wildlife that can be observed in their natural habitat. Imagine watching the penguins’ mating rituals! Excursions on the small RIB boats* will get you close to the action.

A chance to explore in depth (depending on the time of year) kayaking, hiking, and even camping in the Antarctic wilderness.

Educational opportunities as the expedition team members offer classes and tutorials about this remarkable continent. A fully equipped Science Center with microscopes and other learning materials are also available to those interested in science projects.

Sustainability - invest in educating our guests and creating ambassadors for every destination on every voyage through actively engaging guests in the cultures we visit, the ecosystems we explore, and the consequences of climate change we observe.

Adventurers of all stripes are drawn to Hurtigruten's Antarctica expeditions, during which they have the opportunity to go ashore and on small rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) to discover wildlife and frozen landscapes ranging from snowy mountains and jagged peaks to icebergs and glaciers. If you’re ready for a truly life altering experience, I’m ready to help you make a trip to Antarctica a reality.
