My love for travel started the way the best adventures do — unexpectedly. In 1998, my husband and I packed our bags for Honduras on a mission trip, just one year into our marriage. We had no idea that trip would change everything.

Since then, I've traveled to over 25 countries and islands — and I'm just getting started. As our family grew, so did our wanderlust. We made a conscious choice early on: instead of things, we'd invest in experiences. The memories we made exploring the world together are ones our kids will carry for a lifetime.

Now, as an almost-empty nester, I've turned that lifelong passion into a purpose. As the founder of Refined Concierge Travel, I'm here to help you discover the same joy of seeing the world — thoughtfully planned, beautifully executed, and completely stress-free.
