I have been in the travel industry since 1978 and a travel consultant for 40 years. I love travel, especially to Europe. I think travel is the best education source out there. Sharing my knowledge with clients and helping them have wonderful experiences is what my job is all about. Knowing a great cooking class, wine tour, hiking opportunity and even some not so well-known museums or gardens. In my personal time, I love to read and cook, especially trying recipes of places I have been. I have been involved with the International Tall Ship association through the City of Norfolk for about 30 years. I work with ships from all over the world that come to Norfolk for visits and Festivals. It’s very rewarding.
