My love of travel began long before I ever became a travel advisor.
I was born in England, where some of my earliest childhood memories include running down the street to the neighborhood sweet shop and listening with fascination to my cousin's incredible stories of his adventures around the world while serving with the Lancashire Fusiliers. His tales of distant countries, different cultures, and remarkable experiences sparked a curiosity that has never left me.
When I was just five years old, my own adventure began.
As my father's military tour in England came to an end, our family boarded a U.S. Air Force transport aircraft bound for America. Unlike a commercial airliner, the cargo hold was filled with mattresses instead of passenger seats, and as children, we happily ran and jumped from one to another during the journey. Along the way we stopped in Iceland, then Greenland, before finally arriving in New York.
Even at that young age, I remember the excitement of realizing there was a great big world waiting to be discovered.
Perhaps I really was born to travel.
Years later, after building a successful career in the legal profession, I realized something was missing. I wanted to do more than review documents and solve legal problems—I wanted to help people create dreams, experience new cultures, and discover the incredible joy that comes from exploring our world.
That passion led me to become a travel advisor, but over time I discovered something even more meaningful.
Travel is about so much more than the places we visit.
It is about the friendships we build, the stories we share, the laughter over dinner after a day of exploring, and the memories that stay with us long after we've returned home. Some of my clients have become lifelong friends, and many travelers who began a journey as strangers have returned home as close companions.
That is the inspiration behind Journey 360 Travel Club.
I wanted to create more than a travel club. I wanted to create a community where people could experience the world together—sharing unforgettable adventures, discovering remarkable destinations, and building friendships that last a lifetime.
Every itinerary is thoughtfully selected.. Every traveler is welcomed like family.
Because I believe the world's most extraordinary experiences are even more meaningful when they're shared.
"I don't simply plan vacations. I create journeys that become cherished memories and friendships that last a lifetime."
