Favorite experiences
  1. The splendor of a sunrise or sunset while seated on the balcony of a cruise ship, savoring a cup of coffee, and being serenaded by the gentle murmurs of the ocean.
  2. Vancouver-Walking the Capilano Suspension Bridge early morning with mist lingering among the trees, the gentle sway of the bridge, the soft rustle of leaves, and the light filtering through the mist creating a magical atmosphere.
  3. Alaska- I love everything Alaska has to offer—the majestic rainforests, the awe-inspiring sight of Ketchikan​ during the September salmon run, and the rich tradition of crafting totem poles, passed down through generations. It was a journey filled with cultural heritage and natural wonders that resonate deeply within me.
  4. Pompeii-This was a truly mesmerizing adventure, stepping back in time to witness the daily life of a ancient Roman city frozen in ash. From the remarkably preserved streets and buildings to the haunting plaster casts of its inhabitants, every corner tells a story of tragedy and resilience.
  5. Amsterdam-Anne Frank walking tour…Exploring the places connected to Anne Frank’s life provided a tangible connection to the events of World War and the Holocaust. It’s a powerful experience to walk in her footsteps and learn about her story, offering a deeper understanding of the human experience during that dark period of history.
Most recent trips
  1. The Grand Canyon National Park- This is always awe-inspiring with it’s immense size and stunning vistas. It gave me a unique experience to feel dwarfed by nature’s grandeur. Just standing at the rim, taking in the vastness of the canyon is an unforgettable experience of the Earth’s ancient history.
  2. Alaska-This is a destination I try to go to at least once a year. With each visit I have experienced so many different things from stunning glaciers, wildlife and unique indigenous cultures. There is always something new to discover.
  3. Amsterdam- I loved going to see the Dutch traditions like windmills, witnessing the craftmanship of Dutch shoe-making, and indulging in delicious cheeses

Debra's Story

I transitioned into the travel industry a few years ago after retiring from aircraft manufacturing and management. I have always been passionate about travel, and it’s a dream come true to be working in this field. I am dedicated to planning exceptional and memorable adventures for each of my clients. Through extensive training, including classes on resorts, destination specialist courses, and cruise line certifications, I have discovered that my true passion lies in adventure travel. I have developed relationships with representatives from various cruise lines and learned about the countries they visit, which has inspired me to immerse myself in the culture and history of each destination. I have gained a profound appreciation for the diverse tapestry of the world and look forward to creating an unforgettable experience no matter what your favorite style of travel might be.
