Next meeting: date coming soon
I'm setting the date and the guest speaker for the next get-together now. Join the list and you'll hear it first, with the details, before it goes up anywhere else. Appetizers as always.
Travel Club
Travelers who like good company
Some of my favorite trips started as a casual conversation over appetizers with people who just like to go places. That's the whole idea behind the Travel Club. We meet, we swap stories, we hear what's out there, and then we vote on where we want to go next. It's open to anyone who likes to travel, and you're welcome whether you come solo, as a couple, or with the whole family in tow.
What I Plan Here
Your Travel Club trip, built around you.
What happens on the night
We eat, we catch up, and the supplier shows the room what they have. Then we vote on where the club goes next. The trips that win are the ones I go and build, with space held so members travel together.
Coming to your first one
Come on your own, come as a couple, bring the family. Nobody has to book anything and there are no dues. If you cannot get to Magnolia you can join us virtually and still vote.
How the club works
We gather in person every other month, and yes, there are always appetizers. From time to time a travel supplier comes by to show off a destination or a deal that fits what the group’s been curious about. Then comes the fun part: we vote. The trips that win the room are the ones I go build, and the club’s space gets reserved on them so members travel together.
There’s no catch and there are no dues. The only thing I ask is that you tell me you’re coming, so I know how many seats to save. If you’re far from Magnolia or can’t make it in person, you can join the meetings virtually and still cast your vote on where we head next.
What you get out of it
You meet other people who light up at the same things you do — the river cruisers, the safari dreamers, the wine-region wanderers. You get a first look at trips before they fill up, since members shape the calendar. And you get the comfort of traveling with a group that already feels like friends by the time the plane takes off.
The next one: date coming soon
I’m lining up the next date and guest speaker now. It will look like the others: early evening, a relaxed local spot, a supplier showing the room what they have, and appetizers on the table as always.
Come hungry, come curious. If a trip the group picks ends up being your trip, even better. Get on the list so I can save you a seat, and I’ll send you the date and details the moment they’re set.
You're on the list.
I'll be in touch with the details before the next meeting. If your plans change, just reply to that email and let me know.
Save me a seat
The next meeting date is coming soon. I'm lining up the evening and the guest speaker now. Leave your name below and you'll hear the date first, before it goes up anywhere else.
There are still no dues and nothing to join. This is just so I know how many chairs to ask for, and so you hear about the next meeting without having to remember to check. Can't make it in person? Say so below and I'll send you the link to join us virtually.
A room full of people who love to go places.
Once a month I host the Travel Club: good food, a featured destination, and travelers swapping stories about where to go next. It's grown into the best part of what I do. Open to anyone, in person here in the Magnolia area or online from anywhere.
A new destination every month
One evening, one part of the world: Africa one month, river cruises the next, with a real spread and a relaxed local spot. Come hungry, come curious.
Virtual Cruise Nights
Can’t make it in person, or live out of town? Hop on a Virtual Cruise Night from your couch and see the same trips, live.
First dibs on group trips
Members hear about hosted group cruises and departures before they fill, and travel together with a familiar group.
Already host group trips you can join too. See current departures, or join the conversation in my Facebook group.
See you soon!
You're on the Travel Club list.
I'll email you the moment the next dinner or Virtual Cruise Night is on the calendar. No spam, no pressure.
Get on the Travel Club list
Drop your name and I'll email you when the next meeting or Virtual Cruise Night is on the calendar. No obligation, unsubscribe anytime. You're probably wondering if it's a sales pitch in disguise. It isn't. Just good food and travelers comparing notes on where to go next.

Why Not Just Book Online
Same Price. Very Different Experience.
You're probably wondering whether an advisor actually saves you anything. Fair question. The honest comparison, every moment of the trip: you with a booking site, versus you with me in your corner. The cheap booking is the expensive one when the trip goes sideways.
One thing I'll always be up front about: there may be a planning fee for my time and expertise. The commission is already in the cost of the resort or cruise price, whether you use me or not. The cruise line or resort just keeps my portion if you book directly, and they give you no extra guidance or help. I work for you, not the cruise line or the resort. I will always have your best interests in mind, and everything is customized specifically to you. Have questions, need more information, have concerns? I'm here to help with all of it! Many of the upgrades and money I help you save, more than covers my planning fee too, and you get my expertise and help every step of the way. Booking online, you get the same base price, none of the perks, and no one in your corner when something breaks.

One call. I already know the resort, the ship, the right month, the right room class. I send 1–2 vetted options.
