SO GLAD TO MEET YOU!

I considered writing a typical “About” section for the website. You know the one… start with all my credentials (don’t worry, all that impressive stuff is at the bottom), then go into fascinating detail about what a great person I am and close with something personal and not terribly interesting to you.  I decided to go a different direction and put my own stamp on this About page. Because what you really want to know is why you should give me the opportunity to change your life through Active and Wellness Travel. Right?!

​

Well, let me tell you why. First, I practice what I preach and passionately pursue a lifestyle that keeps me well and active and have a heck of a lot of fun doing it. Why do I do this? Because life should be lived to its absolute fullest – and that’s not just lip service. That’s my life’s work, and travel is my medium. I have experienced the world through new adventures, embraced new cultures and experiences, and brought it all home to share with you through your next amazing journey.

​

I know that ‘journey’ means something different — something specific — to each person, couple, family or group. Your journey should be one that fits you! One person’s ideal is a deep tissue massage on a relaxing river cruise while another’s is a heart-pumping hike across seaside cliffs ending with a zip-line. I think of these experiences like an energy bar that feeds our souls. I just want each person to come back ‘FIT’ – fulfilled, inspired and transformed!

​

Here’s some examples included in my adventures:

• HIKING. The view after climbing up the back of Half Dome in Yosemite was simply breathtaking and inspiring.

• BIKING. There’s nothing like seeing a new country up close and personal with the air rushing over your face and the locals riding with you. Biking Portugal's wine region gave me a whole new perspective on traveling well.

• SAFARI.  One word invokes so many amazing emotions of being one with nature, plus we added biking, hiking, ziplining, and healthy eating to ours.   I'm ready to do it all again!

• SKIING.  The rush of adrenaline you get skiing definitely makes you want the chair lift rides to go faster to the top!

• DIGITAL DETOX. The first time you turn off your mobile phone for an entire day is such an uplifting, freeing experience. I've created a great community of individuals doing this at various wellness retreats.  Add in 20 plus daily optional activities and a massage, and it’s the perfect recipe for rejuvenation.

• And, speaking of WINE, I love to be an active, wellness traveler who knows how to raise a glass and say “Cheers!” at the end of our adventurous day.
