About Debbie

Growing up near the water in the Pacific Northwest, I love all things geared toward the water, but I am also an expert in European travel, and I thrive on helping travelers navigate their way across the globe.

With so many options for a dream vacation, my extensive personal experience as an avid traveler informs the choices I present to clients. I hold professional certifications in European destinations and with all major cruise lines, ensuring up-to-date knowledge and insider connections to getting the best deals.

From cruise liner staterooms to on board activities and exciting shore excursions, I know the cruise vessels and ports from the inside out. It’s my job to simplify the planning while increasing the overall experience for each and every client. I take a client’s wish list and available budget to create a perfectly customized itinerary, relieving travelers of the stress and insecurity of traveling outside their “comfort zones.”  I am a CLIA Certified Cruise Counselor. 

On my first trip to Europe, I remember the apprehension of language barriers, long intercontinental flights, and worry over interactions with locals in foreign countries. But that three week trip to France and Italy changed my life and led to my current occupation helping others have immersive life-fulfilling journeys. With a base in southern Spain, I explored Madrid and Sevilla, and took day trips all over southern Spain, Gibraltar and Morocco. My clients can have these same experiences, and I thrive on helping them accomplish this.   

Even after the journey has started, I am always available to troubleshoot, answer questions and make suggestions along the way. One new client called me a “one stop shop” for travelers, a moniker I’m proud to uphold. When not traveling myself or helping others do the same, you can find me cooking, gardening, reading or – talking about travel!
