ABOUT MAUREEN
The advisor who’s been where you’re going.
And who genuinely wants you to experience it too.
THE STORY
Here's the honest version.
I didn’t grow up planning to be a travel advisor. I raised five children, spent years supporting my husband’s real estate appraisal business, and had what most people would describe as a scattered career — school secretary, office clerk, property management. Whatever needed doing, I did it.
What I also did, for as long as I can remember, was travel. And plan trips. And feel, deeply, the difference between a good trip and a great one.
At 61, I decided to actually do something with that. Using AI tools I’d never heard of a year before, I built a travel advising business from scratch. I figured out what I was doing in public, made plenty of mistakes, and eventually had clients booking trips to Dubrovnik, Scotland, Madrid, and Oviedo.
That experience — the fear, the figuring it out, the moment it started to work — is the reason I understand my clients. Not just where they want to go. How it feels to finally decide to do something for yourself. ✈️
What you get when you work with me.
Instinct, not algorithms
Honest, direct advice
Someone in your corner
A lifetime of travel and planning trips for others produces something no booking platform can replicate: the ability to know, immediately, what will actually deliver.
I'll tell you what you don't need as readily as what you do. If a destination isn't right for what you're hoping to feel, I'll say so — and offer you something better.
From the first conversation to the last day of your trip, I'm reachable. Not a chatbot. Not a form. Me.
