After a 28-year career in the energy industry, Rebecca followed her passion for travel and transitioned into travel advising full-time in 2025. What started as planning trips for family and friends quickly became a true calling. With travel to over 30 countries, she brings firsthand experience and thoughtful planning to every itinerary.
Rebecca is a Verified Travel Advisor (VTA) through the American Society of Travel Advisors and a Certified Cruise Counselor with Cruise Lines International Association. These credentials reflect her commitment to industry excellence, ongoing education, and the highest standards of service.
Her background in project management makes her highly organized and detail-oriented, but what truly sets her apart is her personalized approach. She takes the time to understand each client’s interests, travel style, and goals, creating experiences that go far beyond the typical “check-the-box” trip. She especially loves helping families with older children, empty nesters, and active retirees turn their bucket list travel dreams into reality.
For Rebecca, success is all about the moments her clients never forget, especially when they connect with local cultures in meaningful ways. Outside of travel, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, cheering her college sports teams, and relaxing with hobbies like gardening, cooking, and needlepointing. Fun fact: she once flew to Singapore and back just to maintain her platinum airline status.
