About Escapes International Travel
About Me
My approach to travel planning is shaped by both professional experience and personal perspective.
Prior to founding Escapes International Travel, I worked within the American Express Travel network, gaining firsthand insight into how discerning card members evaluate service, value, and support. That experience continues to inform how I plan travel today — particularly for clients accustomed to elevated standards and seamless execution.
Following the pandemic, I made a deliberate shift toward the luxury travel space, drawn to the Virtuoso network and its emphasis on relationships, access, and meaningful experiences. The decision was personal. As my husband and I reflected on how we traveled ourselves, it became clear that the journeys we valued most were those designed with intention — rooted in quality, ease, and trust.
I chose to build a practice aligned with that philosophy: planning travel, I would confidently design for my own family. Journeys that feel considered, supported, and never transactional.
How I Work
Each journey is designed with intention and a holistic perspective. Whether coordinating luxury cruise and yacht-style voyages, integrating exceptional hotel stays, or arranging meaningful experiences through trusted partners on the ground, every itinerary is shaped as a cohesive whole.
I remain personally involved throughout the planning process and during travel itself, providing continuity, discretion, and attentive support should plans evolve.
Global Connections & Recognition
Through long-standing relationships and my affiliation with Virtuoso, clients benefit from preferred access, added value, and thoughtful recognition across leading hotels, cruise lines, and travel partners worldwide.

My commitment to exceptional service has been recognized by Orlando Magazine, where Escapes International Travel was named Best Travel Agency — an honor that reflects the trust and loyalty of the clients I serve.
I maintain a deliberately limited practice, working primarily through long-standing client relationships and referrals.
