Passionate about travel. Dedicated to making yours extraordinary.
My Story
Travel Is More Than a Destination
I'm Connie — a travel advisor based in the Anchorage area and Mat-Su Valley of Alaska, where I've called home for over 30 years. I've spent decades exploring this incredible state and know firsthand what makes an Alaskan experience truly memorable, from the best day trips to the most breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the hay flats right from my own deck.
My travels have taken me far beyond Alaska — from the beaches of Jacksonville, Florida, where I once lived, to Boston, Seattle, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. I have a deep personal love for Holland America Line and the kind of enriching, unhurried voyages they deliver. That firsthand experience is what sets me apart: I'm not guessing at what your itinerary will feel like — I know.
I specialize in Holland America, Royal Caribbean, and Princess Cruises, and book flights on major carriers worldwide. My goal is simple: help you truly understand what you're getting with your itinerary — no guesswork, no surprises, just a trip that fits you perfectly.
When I'm not planning dream trips, I'm a Special Education Para Educator, run my Labradoodle breeding program — Northern Lights Labradoodles — and spend my free time hiking mountain trails or relaxing on the deck my husband built, watching the seasons change over the valley. Life is full, and I bring that same passion and care to every journey I help plan.
What I Stand For
How I Work
Personal Experience, Not Guesswork
I've personally traveled to the destinations I recommend — from Alaska and Hawaii to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Boston, Seattle, and beyond. When I describe an itinerary, I'm speaking from experience.
Holland America Enthusiast
Holland America holds a special place for me. I have a deep personal love for their style of travel — enriching, unhurried, and beautifully curated. I can speak to their ships and itineraries with genuine enthusiasm.
Alaska Insider
Having lived in Alaska for over 30 years, I know this state like few others. I can help you understand what makes an Alaskan cruise or land tour truly exceptional — and what to skip.
A Personal Touch, Always
I'm just starting my online travel business, but I bring decades of real-world experience and a genuine passion for helping people travel well. You'll always work directly with me — never a call center.

A Little About Me
Life in the Mat-Su Valley
Outside of travel planning, I'm a Special Education Para Educator — a role that has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of truly listening to people. Those same qualities carry directly into how I work with every travel client.
I also run Northern Lights Labradoodles, my Labradoodle breeding program here in Alaska. When I'm not working or planning trips, you'll find me hiking a mountain trail, or sitting on the deck my husband built — looking out over the hay flats of the Mat-Su Valley with a cup of coffee in hand.
I'm also the proud mom of two adult daughters who are every bit as independent and adventurous as I am — they remind me every day why travel matters. And through it all, I have the most supportive, amazing husband who fills my heart with joy and is, without question, my favorite travel companion.
Life here is full and beautiful — and it's that same fullness I want to help you find when you travel.
