Growing up in the culturally rich Baltimore - Washington metropolitan area, I have always been a stone's throw away from three major cities, four international airports, two passenger rail terminals, and a bustling cruise port. This easy access to the world's thoroughfares sparked my passion for travel at an early age, introducing me to the vibrant tapestries of diverse cultures and the thrill of discovery while still a young child.
Since embarking on my professional path in 1999—and especially after launching HM Travel Design in 2014—I have expanded my reach to serve a diverse clientele across the entire United States. My clients come from myriad backgrounds and locations, yet share a common passion for exploration, having ventured to all seven continents.
My certifications as a Verified Travel Advisor (VTA) from the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) and a Certified Travel Associate (CTA) from the Travel Institute are testaments to my commitment and expertise in crafting travel experiences that promise more than just a journey.
I specialize in designing trips that are a perfect blend of adventure, cultural immersion, and rejuvenation. My goal is to tailor each experience precisely to your personal desires, ensuring that every trip is not just memorable but uniquely yours.
