A quick introduction
Our first cruise was 2016, Alaska, our 25th anniversary. We'd wanted to go for our 15th, but life got in the way. That trip is when cruising became my first choice. Six years, a shingle called Planes, Trains and Ships, a year of no sales, and a lot of narrowing later, I found the thing that actually worked: sell what you know, and only what you know.
I don't know another way to approach life. What I do for you is the same thing I'd do for myself.
How I Got Here
It took me 25 years to find cruising, five more to find my space in the travel industry.

Mom and daughters, none of them had cruised before. A quick selfie on the deck of the Jade as it came up on Hubbard. This is the trip they'd been meaning to take.
