Traveling the world has been my passion for last 30 years of my life. The Ritz isn't always in my budget, but I’m definitely not a backpacker. I’m you. I adore seeing new places, new cultures, and adventure travel, but I don’t want to take out a second mortgage to do it.

My travel, my terms. It can be done! Oh. Can. It. Ever.
Some of my journeys have been as a solo businesswoman or pleasure traveler; other times I vacation with my family, gallivant with girlfriends, and often I’ll write about my beloved mother/daughter shopping excursions, and adrenaline adventures.
My guide to girl-travel is simple -- just use my tried-and-true personal travel recipe:
- Mix marvels and mishaps,
- Add a touch of moxie
- Finish with a dash (or two!) of mojo.
And voila! The result is a lifetime of incredible experiences and memories! Woman's adventure travel is my passion, and there's more, much more, to come. So, come along and join me!

Sedona - A Great Place to Hang Out
“You simply must go – it’s so…. you,” friends would suggest. This beach girl would always respond with the same condescendingly sweet smile. But when I was invited to speak at a national conference in Phoenix, I decided to take a few extra days to see what all the fuss was about.
