Who Am I?<\/h4>[vc_column_text]That’s one of the hardest things to write.  Who Am I?  <\/p>\n

I am a lover of travel, a travel fanatic per se.  I am the face behind Custom Escapes.  I love helping people and sharing my love of travel with family, friends and clients.  I love to laugh and am (usually)<\/em> a glass half-full person.  I have found being in the travel industry has helped shape that in me; whether it’s flight delays, lost baggage, maintenance issues, or oversold hotels, travel is not for the faint of heart.  I take it all in because I know I am truly fortunate to do what I love.  <\/p>\n

I grew up on airplanes and absolutely loved being at the airport.  At that time, I never dreamed I’d find my career in travel but it has been a great blessing and joy in my life. Having been in the travel industry for 27 years, I can honestly say I’ve been more places than most people but I never want to stop.  I am told quite often that I can’t go everywhere.  <\/em>For that reason, the quote above has become one of my favorite quotes.  I have NOT been everywhere but it IS on my list.  [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]

What I do?<\/h4>[vc_column_text]That’s a little easier to answer. <\/p>\n

I am a certified<\/em> travel advisor, travel concierge, and\/or travel consultant.  I wear many hats but gone are the years of being an “agent”. <\/p>\n

My main goal is to work with you to advise you the best options for your desired experience and budget.  Before I offer any advice, I love to spend a little time with you to find out your previous experiences, what you envision, your must-haves and ultimate dream for this vacation and see how we can best work together to make that vision a reality.  I truly love what I do and am always grateful that you put your trust in me.<\/p>\n

I use my love of travel, expertise and planning skills to create “Custom Escapes”<\/em> for each of my clients.  I am able to use my network of resources and combine all aspects of the vacations you’ve entrusted me with to deliver a wonderful near stress-free vacation planning experience.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]
