I was born in the countryside of England with 4 brothers and a sister.  My playground was farmland and fields of tulips and daffodils or beans and corn!  When I was 4 years old I told my mum I’m going to travel the world!  I even wrote to a travel journalist on TV when I was 9 to ask her how I do her job.  She wrote back to me and said, whatever your passion is – follow it through and enjoy your life and don’t hold back!

My career started when I graduated High School at 16 years old and went to work at NatWest Bank.  I studied at local junior colleges to learn advanced English Grammar and Geography.

After 13 years, in 1989, last 6 years a head of the Marketing Team, I moved to California with my husband.

I have always had a deep passion for travel and have been to many countries around the world.

My ideas have developed from wanting to explore more by putting together unique custom trips.  Small groups of 16-20 people on land tours and up to 30 on cruise tours.  I have found that putting together like minded travelers the experience is more enjoyable and a lot of fun too.

Always looking for more unique ways to bring travelers together, I am excited to present a new wave of travel hosting health and wellness educational programs through our – New Me @ Sea series of events.  Explore the World – Explore the Possibilities of Health and Wellness together.  I have met so many amazing business women through networking that it made sense to bring them all together so guests could learn more about themselves while on vacation!

I have been documenting my travels from a very early age.  Travel the world and write stories about it – how cool would that be!  Maybe one day I’ll put it all in a book!
