About Me

Where every journey is a refreshing escape into the heart of adventure.

Embark on Endless Adventures

The Voyage Behind the Vision

Many years ago, a Caribbean cruise changed my perspective on travel. Having already explored 15 countries by land, I discovered that cruising offered the perfect balance—meaningful exploration with seamless comfort. Watching fellow passengers wish they'd had better guidance, I realized I could create something better: expert cruise planning backed by real-world travel experience.

I launched Travels Under the Sun. The name reflects my belief that the best journeys happen when you follow the sunshine—both literally and metaphorically.

My Approach

I've built a reputation on five principles:

      Expertise Through Experience - My travels by cruise and land give me authentic destination insights.

      Personalized Service - Your cruise reflects your priorities, not my commissions.

      Honest Guidance - I'll tell you if an excursion isn't worth it or a port deserves more exploration time.

      Attention to Detail - From cabin locations to pre-cruise extensions, details matter.

      Ongoing Partnership - I'm here beyond your booking for all your future travels.

Who I Serve

I work with first-time cruisers, experienced sailors, couples celebrating milestones, multi-generational families, solo travelers, and groups—anyone seeking expert guidance and personalized service for their cruise vacation.

Why Choose Me

My exclusive focus on cruising—enhanced by extensive land travel knowledge—means deeper expertise, stronger cruise line partnerships, and comprehensive destination insights that improve your entire journey.

What started as a one-person operation has grown through satisfied clients who return and refer others. I've maintained personalized service while securing partnerships that provide exclusive amenities and onboard credits.

Welcome to Travels Under the Sun. Let's set sail together.
