Bonjour! Hola! Nin Hao! Since I can remember, I have had a love of languages which fuels my passion for travel, food and different cultures. Planning trips for my clients over the last seventeen years, I have planned it all from visiting grandma for the first time to going on their dream vacation. I love giving my clients an experience that they will never forget like having Dim Sum in Paris, going backstage at the Russian ballet or being a panda bear nurse for the day in China. I have traveled to some wonderful places in the world; London, Paris, Russia, New York, St. Lucia, Exuma and many more. I have just returned from my dream trip, China, which was at the top of my bucket list.Now, I need to start create a new list, would you like to share what is on yours? I would love to help you check those places off your bucket list and add to it too, shall we get started?

Vision Travel Solutions is a member of Virtuoso, giving us the opportunity to offer you exclusive savings and value only available to a select group of top travel agencies around the world.  Virtuoso has contacts with a large number of respected hotels around the world including Small Luxury Hotels of the World and the Fairmont group.  This provides our clients with special amenities including complimentary room upgrades, daily breakfast, spa credits and much more.  The Voyager Club program from Virtuoso is only offered on select cruises, which gives our guests an onboard host on their cruise voyage, unique Virtuoso shore excursion and private cocktail parties along with shipboard credits. Through our membership in the Virtuoso program, we have access to over 100 different in country specialists called on sites, located worldwide that are able to meet almost any need or request that our clients may have, whether it is a private tour of the Vatican, a photography tour in the Antarctic or may be a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti.

I enjoy working with my clients to complete their travel “bucket list” and I encourage my clients to keep add to their list.  I have one client who’s list keeps getting longer, thanks to the Virtuoso Life magazine.  Once I know where my clients would like to go, I do my best to provide them with the information they need, make sure that they don’t miss any of the high points and the best value for them.  That way they can check one more destination off their bucket list.

I really look forward to assisting you with your future travel plans.
