Business Owner & Travel Advisor
About me: I have a small-town heart with a global perspective. My husband, Eric, and I have lived in Tea for almost 2 decades, and we have 3 children—Brayden (married to Katie), Blake, and Lauren.
My passion for travel continually expands my horizons. My most cherished adventures include soaking up the sunshine at vibrant all-inclusive destinations as well as immersing in the rich history and culture of Italy and the stunning coasts of Croatia.
Always planning the next journey, I am eager to explore the landscapes of Scotland and Ireland, experience the charm of other European countries, and embark on a serene river cruise.
I believe travel is the best way to make memories. I'm here to facilitate those powerful connections and adventures for you.

Travel Advisor
About me: I live in Tea with my husband, Ryan, and our three amazing children—Peyton, Mckenzie, and Oakley. As a family, we love traveling and creating memories together, especially because it gives us uninterrupted time with one another. Our favorite vacations are all-inclusive beach escapes where we can relax, reconnect, and enjoy new adventures.
That love of travel is what inspired me to help others experience the same joy. My goal as a travel advisor is to take the stress out of planning unforgettable trips. I believe every vacation should be tailored to your needs, preferences, and budget—whether you’re dreaming of sunshine, magic, or wide-open ocean views.
From the warmth of the Caribbean to the breathtaking glaciers of Alaska, I’m here to help you plan a trip you’ll remember forever.
Specialties: All-Inclusive Resorts, Disney Vacations, Ocean Cruises, and Alaskan Cruises.

Travel Advisor
About me: I grew up in Wessington Springs, and have called Sioux Falls home for 25+ years. I’m blessed to be a proud mom to two children—Brock and Laela—and a stepson, Jordan, and I have two wonderful grandsons. I have been married to my amazing husband, Justin, for 25 years.
Travel has always been a passion of mine, and I have been very fortunate to explore many beautiful destinations, including several regions in Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic.
My bucket list is still growing and includes Greece, Turks and Caicos, and St. Thomas, which I am checking off my bucket list in April of 2026.
Each trip I design is crafted with care, intention, and plenty of research to ensure that every traveler—no matter the budget or wish list—receives the perfect experience tailored just for them. It brings me great joy helping people discover the world.

Travel Advisor
About Me: I was born and raised in small towns across South Dakota, and I recently moved to Sioux Falls to be closer to family after 25 years out of state.
As a former librarian and journalist, I love performing research and learning new things.
To me there's nothing more invigorating than visiting a new destination, but I always love returning to my two naughty/adorable French bulldogs, Archbold and Reinbeck.
Favorite Travel Experiences: Baking croissants during a class in Paris, enjoying fine Italian wines on an organic winery tour in Tuscany, riding a camel in the Sahara Desert up to a monastery that had been buried in the sand for centuries, spending time with my family in and around Banff National Park, and stopping at unique locations across the American landscape on road trips.
Interests: Active Travel, Group Travel, Solo Travel, European Travel, European River Cruises, and Domestic Travel.
