My entire life has included Active & Adventure Travel. From ski vacations and bicycle tours to small ship excursions, I've seen and done a lot but there's always something more I'd like to try. Active & Adventure Travel is defined as travel that contains the following three elements: 1. Physical Activity 2. Interaction with the Environment 3. Cultural Exchange. If this sounds like your kind of vacation, let’s talk! There's a good chance I've been where you want to go, and I enjoy using this experience to help you find a trip that really suits you. Having traveled to every state in the United States and set foot on all seven continents, I’m familiar with most bucket-list destinations. And while I love to book places I’ve visited, I’m equally excited to research new destinations, since undoubtedly I will want to go there next. Let’s start today!

Excited to Book Again!
Kirk knows Maui so well. He listened to what we wanted to do and then asked about activities we hadn't considered. This enabled us to choose the best options for us. What a joy!
