Ahoy traveler!
I'm a true cruise enthusiast who has turned my passion for exploring the world into expertise you can trust. I’ve personally traveled on more than 40 different cruise ships and sailed with 10+ cruise lines to exciting destinations around the world. This hands-on cruise experience allows me to see which cruise lines excel in different areas, which itineraries deliver the best value, and how to maximize your vacation investment. And the best part? My personalized planning services are complimentary.
I design luxury and premium journeys for travelers who want more than a standard itinerary. My specialty is cruising, from refined ocean voyages to intimate river sailings, but my work goes well beyond the ship. I can also craft custom land tours, bespoke experiences, and seamless multi-destination journeys, including rail adventures, luxury resorts, and bucket-list trips planned around how you like to travel.
I’ll match you with the right experience and arrange the details that make a trip feel effortless. I can also coordinate group travel, from multigenerational family reunions to milestone celebrations and corporate retreats, so everyone is looked after and the experience feels cohesive.
Every journey I plan starts with getting to know you, so the result reflects your pace, your priorities, and the moments you’ll remember.
When I'm not sailing the seas or booking exciting trips for my Castaway Dream Travel clients, I bring my communication expertise to the classroom as a university instructor, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses. My background in marketing and education means I'm skilled at cutting through travel industry marketing to help you know what you can expect from your vacation.
My goal is simple: to use my extensive knowledge and personalized service to create unforgettable travel experiences that exceed your expectations. Ready to turn your vacation dreams into reality? I'd love to help you plan your next adventure!
Bon voyage!

My Story
Since my first cruise in 1998, I've been captivated by the magic of ocean travel. As an educator at heart, I realized that sharing this passion and helping others craft their dream cruise experiences was my true calling.
There's nothing quite like seeing a first-time cruiser's face light up when they experience that same magical moment I felt 25 years ago, or helping a family create memories that will last generations.
Every cruise I take now serves a dual purpose—it feeds my soul's wanderlust while deepening my expertise as your cruise specialist. Whether I'm testing out a new ship's amenities, exploring a hidden gem port, or discovering the perfect shore excursion, I'm always thinking about how these experiences can benefit my clients. My husband Nick Page, a talented photographer and fellow travel enthusiast, often joins me on these research trips, capturing the stunning destinations and experiences that help me paint the perfect picture for my clients.
