Learn More about Me

I was born and raised in London, England. I have traveled extensively throughout my home country and around Europe, Mexico, and Central America. Some of my more memorable trips have been ocean cruising through the fjords of Norway and river cruising on the Danube & the Rhine. I recently made a trip to Wales and saw where my mother was evacuated to during WWII. I have first-hand knowledge of nearly all of the many river cruise ships. Next year I will be making “bucket list” tours of all the Scandinavian and Baltic countries, plus Northern Portugal , as well as an expedition cruise of the Chilean fjords.

After I spent nearly 20 years working for Her Majesty’s Government at the British Embassy in DC, I joined Red Travel to help clients realize their travel dreams. I have been with Red Travel for many years and am pleased to be able to provide customized vacations for our many clients around the U.S. I live in northern Virginia, just outside of Washington, DC. I specialize in Europe, but am also an expert in other vacation destinations. My expertise in cruising has gained me recognition and kudos by the travel blogger Gary Bembridge on his channel, Trips for Travellers. I have seen vacation destinations by car, rail, ship, and bicycle. My goal is to ensure that all of my clients enjoy unique, fascinating, and worry-free holidays that leave them with treasured memories.

I look forward to working with you to make your travel dreams come true!
