I have been to several countries including Japan, France, England,Ireland,Tahiti and Mexico however my passion and expertise is in adventure travel, especially in Costa Rica, New Zealand, and most Egypt most recently.
Destination Expertise:
Costa Rica: To get a proper "taste" of Costa Rica plan on going for at least 8 - 10 days. I have been to this wonderful country a few times and love it every single time! The people are kind and helpful. The food is delicious and the scenery is picturesque. From zip-lining over the Rain Forest, to hiking along volcanoes, or relaxing on the beach, Costa Rica has something for everyone. Pura Vida!
Egypt: I opened the curtains from my Cairo hotel room and saw the outline of the Pyramids in the distance as the sun was setting. I remember getting tears in my eyes at the realization of being in the Land of the Pharaoh’s. Egypt was truly a magical and a life-changing experience for me and nothing can compare to the feeling of seeing The Pyramids of Giza up close and Personal. Floating up the Nile was also a dream come true. Egypt will enthrall you.
Japan: It is truly one of the most exotic places I have been to. Kyoto was by far my favorite city as it felt as I had stepped back into time. I loved watching the Giesha Girls walk down the street as they seemed to float over the cobble-stone streets. Their kimonos flowed so gracefully behind them. The Japanese were so gracious and polite. Japan still has an allure for me, and I can’t wait to go back again.
New Zealand: I spent three weeks in New Zealand, and I still feel it was not enough. The country is glorious, the landscapes were stunning and the people were spectacular! The South Island was my favorite of the two Islands and the highlight overall was taking a helicopter to Franz Josef Glacier and then hiking on it. The shades of blue that bounced off of the glacier seemed to blend in with the sky. Natural beauty in its highest form for me.
Tahiti: I spent 5 nights on Bora Bora and 5 nights on Moorea in these islands of paradise. It is truly the one place where I have returned home completely refreshed and relaxed - a wonderful and magical place of landscape beauty.

My Favorite Vacations:
Tahiti-2002: 5 Nights on the island of Moorea and 5 nights on the island of Bora Bora. We stayed in a fantastic over-the-water Bungalow. I would go back to Tahiti in a heartbeat. It is the most relaxing holiday I have ever had.
Egypt - 2008: Egypt has had the greatest impact of all of my travels. There is truly no way to describe the feeling of awe when you stand next to the pyramids. It is a place filled with amazing history and rich culture. Egypt has truly touched me in a way I never imagined. I can't wait to go back. It is a trip that every person should make in their lifetime.
