My Story

I have always loved to travel and have made it a priority for my children—and now my grandchildren—to experience other cultures, explore the natural world, and discover firsthand that learning extends far beyond the classroom. From scuba diving and wildlife encounters to experiencing different ways of life, these shared experiences have created memories that will last a lifetime and shaped the way they see the world.

Watching them grow through travel inspired me to create Your Next Stop Travels. I wanted to help other students experience the same kind of learning, curiosity, and personal growth that comes from seeing the world beyond their own communities.

My experience in hospitality, travel, and group coordination has prepared me to organize well-structured, exceptional educational travel programs that bring learning to life beyond the classroom.

Throughout my career, I've learned that successful travel is built on thoughtful planning, strong relationships, attention to detail, and a commitment to safety.

Today, I work alongside teachers and administrators to create educational travel experiences that support classroom learning while giving students opportunities to explore science, conservation, agriculture, culture, and the natural world.

My goal is simple: to help schools provide affordable educational travel experiences that build confidence, spark curiosity, broadens perspectives, open career possibilities, and create memories students will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Because learning truly comes to life when we experience life firsthand.
