Custom Travel & Adventure Design

Travel has been my lifelong teacher, instilling in me the importance of meticulous planning and the wisdom of always having a plan B. It has nurtured adaptability, patience, the art of savoring the moment, and an unwavering determination—attributes that collectively define The Optimistic Tourist, that's me!

With a degree in Recreation and credentials in both elementary and secondary education from the University of the Pacific, I've translated my passion for travel into a career of creating customized travel experiences. From my earliest memories, exploring various means of travel and diverse locations, I've gleaned invaluable insights.

My dedication extends to educating not only myself but also my children and grandchildren through travel experiences. During my teaching career, I eagerly provided materials and techniques for parents to continue educating while on the go.

Driven by a desire to share the joys of travel, I've evolved into a travel advisor-consultant, ready to curate personalized journeys that blend education, adventure, and unforgettable moments. Let's embark on a tailored adventure that reflects your unique interests and aspirations!
