I have different types of both domestic and international travel experiences, including but not limited to adventure, small group, cruising, and all-inclusive. 


The world is full of beautiful landscapes, interesting nature and wildlife, different ways of life and cultures, exciting adventures, and more! I love to learn about the environment and natural history of the areas I visit as I studied wildlife biology and natural resources in college. Cultural immersion through experiences, food, and talking with locals makes travel even more special and interesting. 


I have been fortunate to have been able to travel since I was a baby. I got bit by the travel bug early in life and have been hooked ever since! There are endless beautiful places to see within the United States and territories - so if you don't have a passport, don't worry, I can still plan an amazing vacation for you! Internationally, I have been to 5 of the 7 continents. You can see some of those adventures in my additional bios and photo albums.


I am excited to either plan a tailor-made vacation or find a tour or cruise that fits your vacation wants best! 

My Wanderlust Experiences


  • I have lived and traveled all over the United States – it is my dream to visit all 50. My current count is 46 states!

  • I love visiting National Parks and experiencing our natural world.

  • India has a special place in my heart. I have family in southern India that I try to visit every few years.

  • I studied abroad in New Zealand and fell in love with the country and Maori culture.

  • I learned about Thai culture through exploring towns and markets, a historical park, and some nature parks while on a group tour.

  • A trip to South America to experience the Amazon, Machu Picchu, and the Galapagos is one of my favorites - lots of wildlife and culture.

  • Other travel experiences include: Andros, Bahamas; Costa Rica; United Kingdom; Australia; and Paris, France.

Family Celebration on Maui & Kauai

To celebrate my mom's 60th birthday and promotion at work, we flocked to this bucket list location in October 2023! 

Maui

Only a couple main roads to go between towns, so it is easy to navigate around the island. We stayed at the Andaz in Wailea area. A beautiful property...Read more.

Best. Honeymoon. Ever
Easy to communicate with. Prompt. Helpful. Worked with our wants for this trip and made them happen! Made sure we had everything we needed pre travel. Gave us suggestions on what to pack. Was always available for a phone call to go over travel documents, etc.

Amazing vacation!
We had no thoughts of going to New Zealand until our son qualified for the Ironman World Competition there. From that point on, Sammy made sure that the planning & trip would be a great experience. She took time to find out what our interests were and then booked us on fantastic tours with excellent guides, reserved lovely accommodations, and saw that we had smooth transfers to different locations during our stay. I highly recommend her and won't hesitate to reach out to her again for our future travels.

Excellent Carribean getaway!
Sammy set me up with a Carribean cruise where was I able to visit 5 countries with leisure. The excursions in each country varied widely so I was able to find ones that fit my style. The cruise ship was also exactly the style and atmosphere that I requested. Overall, a seamless and fantastic journey. Would definitely work with Sammy again!

New Zealand Trip
Sammy put together a wonderful itinerary for us that included Taupo off the beaten path since our son's Ironman was there.

Our first trip overseas
Sammy was a pleasure to work with. She provided great information and options for us in terms of transportation and lodging. We worked with her for over 6 months prior to our trip, and throughout that time she was always responsive to all our questions. During the trip, she was very helpful in contacting our hotel about an unexpected late arrival, and she quickly got a refund for us when a tour was cancelled. We were so thankful that she was still working on our behalf while we were traveling.
