I take traveling very seriously.
Almost as seriously as I take my Diet Coke!

My job is to turn your "someday" into your bags-are-packed, passport-is-stamped, best-trip-of-your-life reality.  And. I. Love. It.  


If you've landed on this page, there's a good chance you have a destination floating around in your head and no idea how to get there without losing your mind in the process. That's exactly where I come in.  I am ready to step in and handle all of the details - from researching resorts, ships, or destinations, to making sure your trip runs magically, you have a travel bestie in your corner!

It all started with a cruise.
(And it really never stopped!)

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away from Central California (where I live on an old pomegranate farm with my husband, two kids, my Standard Poodle Kal, our weird little misfit mix Chimichanga, and two cats named Spock - for his pointy ears, and Branch - because he has extra toes) I was gifted a cruise.  7 days on the open ocean, exploring amazing islands, discovering different cultures, and being whisked away overnight to do it all over again the next day was all it took.  I was hooked.  

Bucketlist Besties does not do cookie-cutter.
Bucketlist Besties is about more than booking basic trips. It's about curated, attentive service backed by real knowledge and resources, so that every step of your journey feels as effortless as possible.

Cruises are my love language. If you've ever wondered whether a cruise is right for you, the answer is almost certainly yes, and I can prove it.


Theme parks are practically in my DNA. I'm a California girl, which means Disneyland is basically a second home. I know the shortcuts, the rope-drop strategies, the best times to visit (Halloween is my personal FAVORITE!), and all the little details that turn a good park day into an absolutely great one.


Nine times out of ten, I'll opt for a tropical getaway at a luxurious resort with white sand and turquoise water.  But, don't let that fool you!  From Alaskan glacier excursions to bucket-list destinations you haven't even dreamed up yet, I love helping people discover what the world has to offer beyond their own backyard. The bigger the adventure, the better.
