About
I am the Owner and Travel Coach of Awaken Travels, a boutique travel company I launched in 2015 to help discerning travelers design journeys that are as seamless as they are memorable. With over a decade of experience in the travel industry, I specialize in crafting transformative travel experiences that blend luxury, cultural immersion, and peace of mind. As a Certified Destination Wedding, Honeymoon, and Romance Travel Specialist, I have spent years building strong relationships with resort management teams, wedding coordinators, and travel partners across the Caribbean and Mexico. My expertise also extends to luxury and expedition cruises, bespoke European itineraries, and culturally immersive river cruises—perfect for travelers seeking more than just a trip, but a truly enriching experience. I believe in lifelong learning and invest heavily in continuing education by attending global conferences, site inspections, and industry training each year. This ensures my knowledge remains fresh and my clients always benefit from insider access, VIP perks, and the latest travel trends. My mission is simple: to remove the stress of planning and replace it with confidence, ease, and excitement—turning trips into transformative life experiences.
