Hi there, fellow explorers! My love for travel was kindled over 20 years ago during my first cruise, and I've been on a thrilling journey of discovery ever since. With my husband and family by my side, we've embraced tropical getaways and explored the beauty of America.


It was during the planning of a family trip to Disney World that I realized I could turn my passion for travel into something extraordinary for others. That's when my adventure in the travel industry began.


Today, my focus is on making your travel dreams come true. Whether you're yearning for a personalized European adventure, an unforgettable multi-generational trip, or an exclusive experience with a special interest group, I'm here to create your dream escape. Be it sports teams, wine enthusiasts, food lovers, student groups, or hobbyists, I've got you covered!


As a Hawaii and Alaska Destination Specialist, I'm passionate about beach destinations exploring the landscapes of America. I'm well-versed in ocean and river cruising with certifications from Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Lines, and AmaWaterways. My curiosity also extends to Europe having crafted custom itineraries spanning Barcelona, to Paris, to Venice, and even a ride on the Glacier Express.


I listen intently to your wishes and desires, shaping your ideal vacation as if it were my very own. So, whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or an exciting group excursion, I'm dedicated to making your journey truly personal and unforgettable. Let's embark on this adventure together!

Great Adventures
Kelli was great to work with. She always there to answer even my "silly questions" but things that help put my mind at ease when planning a family vacation. I will absolutely circle back with Kelli when we are planning our next vacation. She was knowledgable about the cruise line and helped to narrow down what would be the best experience for my family.

Amazing trip with incredible customer service!
Excellent customer service. Kelli planned everything down to the smallest detail. The app is easy to use and incredibly functional. We loved having all the details and tickets all in one place during our trip. Our airline went on strike right before our trip and we were very nervous. Kelli outlined every step we would need to take if it impacted us, which it didn't. She's incredibly detail oriented and asked questions we never would have thought of! Incredible trip we will remember the rest of our lives.
