From Traveler To Travel Advisor

Traveling abroad was one of the most impactful formative forces of my childhood. My love for travel began at age 10 with a trip to Paris to meet my French family and visit the home where my grandmother grew up. I can thank the City of Lights for igniting a lifelong passion for exploration.

As a second-generation French and second-generation Hungarian American, Europe has always held a special place in my heart. By 14, I had lived with a family in Germany for a month and visited several European countries, laying the foundation for a life of wanderlust.

Before founding Passport To Postcards, I spent over 22 years in insurance corporate leadership, training, and operations. That background shapes how I plan travel today: structured, proactive, and detail-oriented, with a strong emphasis on preparation and contingency planning.

The most rewarding part of being a travel advisor is witnessing the joy and relief on clients’ faces when they realize they can genuinely relax and enjoy their vacation. Helping busy moms by taking the responsibility off their plates has been particularly fulfilling, allowing them to focus on creating beautiful memories with their families instead of stressing over details. Knowing that I have contributed to making these moments seamless and enjoyable is what makes this work truly meaningful.

Travel Style

As a bucket list adventurer, I thrive on travel experiences that deeply immerse me in local culture. My ideal trip involves exploring sites of historical significance, marveling at the architecture, visiting museums, discovering the culinary scene, and connecting with as many locals as I can. I love traveling with my husband and child, and I embrace the challenge of creating itineraries that cater to travelers of all ages and interests.

I believe:

  • Good travel planning happens behind the scenes

  • Logistics matter as much as inspiration

  • Personalization beats popularity

  • Support is most valuable when something goes wrong

I focus on what truly impacts your travel experience, not what photographs well.
