Although I have a master’s degree in business, I got hooked on travel in the early 1980’s, and as a result, have over 30 years of experience in the travel industry. Most of my personal travel experience is in the area of soft adventure. I try to encourage clients to travel independently and enjoy the adventure. I am also focusing on encouraging people to see the UNESCO World Heritage sites, as these sites are very special in the world.

Having travelled to over 153 countries and counting, I feel that I am able to give first-hand knowledge of most destinations, and create the experience you are looking to remember for a lifetime!

My passion is the South Pacific with French Polynesia being my number one favorite place on the planet with India a close runner-up! That being said, I have travelled extensively to the Orient, Western & Eastern Europe along with North & South America, India, Africa, Antarctica (3x!) and the islands of the South Pacific.

I have lived in Florida for more than 30 years, but still retain my roots in the midwest, having been born & raised in Indianapolis.

What is on your bucket list? Let me help you design a vacation that will make memories! I look forward to planning a bucket list experience for you!

Travel is my life's work and great joy.

I am the founder and owner of ‘TASTE Tour & Travel’ and an Independent Travel Consultant at 'St. Armands Travel'. I have been involved in the tourism industry for over 30 years, specializing in culinary travel, and have organized and led tours to over 40 countries and visited well over 100.

My New England and Italian heritage helped inspire my love of food and wine. I believe authentic local culinary experiences are an essential part of any journey, a connection to the land and the people that is as important as the sights themselves. 

As your Travel Professional, I offer you my experience as travel agent, guide, tour operator and fellow traveler to make your trip a unique one. Whether I create an individual itinerary for you, book your next getaway or you choose to accompany me on a group journey with fellow explorers, I will be looking out for you from start to finish and help create the memories you will have forever.

Travel is my passion. Are you ready for a journey? Then let's go!
