Travel Advisors, be sure to check out these promotions!

Just a quick note that two valuable New Zealand promotions are still running — but not for long. Both close on April 30, 2026, so there's still time to take advantage.

If you’ve been following along on this page, you may notice a little transition happening — and I couldn’t be more excited about it!

Recently, I’ve stepped into a new role within my career, moving from being a Travel Advisor to joining the supplier side of the industry. I am now working closely alongside Amie Gribbon BDM (Amie Gribbon), Regional Sales Director for the North Central Region, as a Virtual Sales Specialist with Avanti Destinations.

Amie's region includes Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky — and I’m thrilled to help her support the incredible Travel Advisors throughout these states.

While my day-to-day may look a little different, my passion for travel remains exactly the same. 💙 I’ll be sharing more about all things Avanti — from where you can find Amie as she travels throughout her territory - FIT travel inspiration and destination highlights to helpful tools and resources for advisors — while still bringing you along on my personal travel experiences of course.

This next chapter feels aligned, energizing, and full of opportunity — and I’m so grateful to have you here for it.

Here’s to growth, new partnerships, and continuing to explore the world together. 🌍✨

Day 1 highlight for me was climbing Brisbane Story Bridge!

Strapping myself in and doing 500 stairs to get one of the best view of the city at twilight…WORTH IT!

My word of advice to you! Book that trip! Face your fears. Do the things that excite you! They bring the best memories afterwards.

I’m still in awe of the exceptional service we have received on this Viking cruise! From the moment we stepped onboard, the crew went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home.

What truly amazed me was the attention to detail. Countless crew members knew our names, remembered my husband’s love for Coke Zero, and even ensured I had an extra blanket at night.

One person who made our experience truly unforgettable is Ratih, a server in the Main Restaurant. Her exemplary service, warm smile, and genuine interest in getting to know us made every meal a joy. We shared stories, laughed, and felt like we’d known her for years.

Ratih, you’re the epitome of exceptional service, and we can’t wait to sail with Viking again and see you once more!

✨✨If you are sailing on the Viking Saturn before February (end of her current contract) I highly recommend you ask for Ratih!!

She has been with Viking for 5 years and will be back after this break….i just don’t know which ship she will be on. ✨✨

Memories have been made. Thank you Viking! ❤️
