Places I’ve traveled to:
Hawaii, Caribbean (too many islands to list), Tahiti, Mexico, Italy, France, England, Australia,

Favorite honeymoon destination:
The one that suits the couple the best!

Favorite destination wedding destination:
Mexico – it’s an easy trip from California, there is a resort or location to meet every taste from small intimate resorts all the way to big mega resorts with a lot of activities – all while offering a great value for the money.

Most interesting or unique trip I’ve worked on:
My specialty is finding experiences that are a little more off the beaten path – shark diving in the South Pacific, tickets to descend under St Peters Basilica to visit the remnants of a Roman Necropolis, obtaining an invitation to attend the exclusive Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London. I have also developed an extensive list of private guides around the world that although they are not inexpensive, provide a much more in-depth, customized, once in a lifetime touring experience.

Best travel tip:
Travel is an adventure – the first thing you should pack is your sense of humor. And remember – what seems like a disaster today, will make a great story to tell tomorrow!

If I had $10,000 to travel anywhere:
My hubby and I would love to explore Coast Rica – there are so many options there that we could satisfy our sense of adventure with a multitude of exciting activities, experience some wonderful culture and scenery and have some downtime at one of the amazing beach resorts as well.

Bliss-ism:
I have been married to my best friend for almost 30 years and have two great kids, one grandson with another on the way. I like to think that I bring a perspective to my travel planning beyond the logistics of the trip – I want to listen and get to know you. I want to create a sense of trust so that you can relax and leave the planning to me. I want to discover the things that will be important to you that you might not even be aware of – but will take your trip from great to amazing and unforgettable.
