YOU COULD CALL IT PASSION.
I began collecting airline timetables and travel knowledge when I was old enough to be trusted with making phone calls. I was 12 when I made my first booking. It was for our summer family trip to Boston; the flights were on sale and I landed us a GREAT deal.
I have worked for 20 years in marketing as a consultant and professional speaker. I've been grateful for the opportunity to work with some great travel brands - Princess Cruises, Starwood/Marriott, Hilton Hotels, Visit California and Hawaii Tourism.
That work and my own passion for travel brought me to 60 countries around the world (and counting, I'm not done yet).
​
My travel philosophy - and the reason my agency is called Sweet Spot Travel - is all about finding those great deals that often take me to unexpected places. Sometimes it's a jaw-dropping deal on premium cabin airfare (like the time I scored paid premium first class tickets on Korean Air from Yangon for under $50 per person), up-and-coming destinations that are not yet on the usual "best of" lists or trips that are just at the edges of shoulder season. Sometimes those are the best, as you feel like you have the entire destination to yourself.
​
I have expertise in and a genuine fondness for award travel. This, combined with my long career working with top travel brands and destinations, means my clients get expert and unbiased help.
​
How can I help you?
