About Me:
I spent my childhood planning the places that I would go and the things
that I would experience. Travel was my calling and I’m so glad to get
to share my experiences and expertise with others.
I've Lived In:
Kansas City, MO, Milwaukee, WI, New
York City (and New Jersey), Athens, Greece and Mykonos, Greece
Languages:
English and Greek – plus lots of words and phrases in various
languages.
Favorite Destination:
Greece! I believe that everyone
should see Athens, Meteora, Mykonos, and Santorini. Other favorites are:
Rio de Janeiro and Buzios, Brazil; The French Riviera: St. Tropez,
Cannes, and Monte Carlo; New York City and Miami
Favorite Travel Memory:
Hand gliding over Rio de Janeiro,
Getting married in Crete, Dancing on a table in Mykonos, Sunsets in Oia,
Santorini, Driving from Barcelona to Monte Carlo, the Opening Ceremony
of the Olympic Games in Athens, Seeing Times Square in NYC for the first
time
Biggest Travel Mishap:
In Buzios, Brazil I got food
poisoning from a local delicacy. The food was amazing but the result,
not so much. The upside: I did learn on this trip that a good massage
is the cure-all for food poisoning.
If I could be anywhere right
now, I'd be: There are so many
places that I would like to be that I just can’t choose one. I can say
that it would include a beach, an island and salt water.
I wouldn't be there without:
My camera, sunscreen, and
maybe a cocktail.
Why you should work with me:
I love to share my expertise and experiences with others who are looking
to create lifelong memories. I plan each trip as thought I were doing
so for myself – and often feel as though I am traveling with my
clients.
Why I work
for Travelive: Travel is my life.
Travel is my passion. Because we provide custom packages, I get to
use my own experiences and knowledge to plan vacations for our clients
based on what they are looking for. I don’t agree with the
pre-packaged approach to travel. Each traveler is an individual
and their trips should be too.
