I’m a retired Mission Pastor with a lifelong passion for people, a wanderlust heart, and a gift for planning. For many years, I had the privilege of leading mission trips around the world - organizing everything from global outreach projects to hands-on local service events.
As my journey has evolved, I’ve discovered a new joy: helping others experience the beauty of travel through cruising. While cruising is my specialty, I also help travelers with other kinds of adventures - whether that’s exploring vibrant cities, relaxing at all-inclusive resorts, or creating custom journeys that fit your unique style.
