Luxury Travel Agent

My favorite saying is, "Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer!" I bring 32 years of industry experience combined with my love and enthusiasm for travel into every journey I plan for my clients. I love working with my clients to curate unique travel experiences designed to create memories that last a lifetime.

I enjoy arranging all types of travel including, but not limited to: luxury experiences, river & ocean cruising, customized independent tours, honeymoon & wedding destinations, all-inclusive adventures and much more. In addition, I have worked in group and incentive travel for 15 years, and have escorted groups of over 120 people.

I have traveled all over the United States and Central America, the Caribbean, Europe and & Eastern Australia. I am excited to help you explore more of the world!

The BEST travel agent!
We have been booking trips through Barb for about 20 years now and from the minute we contact her about a trip she is communicative, inquisitive, considerate and willing. She helps plan the trip in every aspect possible. From the flights to the destination, transfers and excursions, she's there to guide us along. Her myriad of contacts in the travel and service industry is astounding. She gave us people to reach out to while on island if we wanted specific things and sent emails checking on us. She is also very diligent at keeping up on flight rescheduling and any restriction changes. We love working with Barb and will continue to do so as long as possible!
~Thank you Barb!~

THE best trip EVER!!!!!
Our Italian vacation was beyond our expectations. We had a white glove experience. We stayed at the finest hotels, right in the middle of all three cities we visited. Rome was unreal. We visited the Forum and Colosseum, Vatican City, and more. Our guides were impeccable. Their knowledge was first rate. In Florence, we visited the Academia, saw The David, and again, our guide was outstanding. Our final destination was Sorrento. Our guide through Capri was remarkable. We had the time of our lives. We had a private sunset cruise, with Prosecco and fruit, and a Captain and first mate that waited on us hand and foot. This was the trip of a lifetime. We had no idea what we were doing, until we met Barb. She understood our family goals, and made them happen. We are already planning a trip back. No one knows Italy like Barb. Her expertise and relationships are made our family vacation THE trip of a lifetime.
Thank you Barb, for everything.

30th Anniversary Cruise Celebration!
It was a pleasure to work with Barbara. She was very patient as we figured out where best to spend our 30th Anniversary. Once we decided she helped us every step of the way, always let us know when there was an action we needed to take and utilized the vendor reps to get us good rates on insurance and special amenities during our trip. She was also very knowledgeable about the destinations we were visiting and provided great advice . We look forward to working with Barbara again on future excursions.

Time again we found ourselves with the best hot
Saved by the “Barb” when the airline left us high and dry in the middle of the night on our flight to Australia. Barb went to bat and literally saved our trip. Without her intervention we would have gone back home and reloaded. Thank you Barb. .Will never travel again without your professional assistance.
