After 23 years of being in the technology world, I decided
to go back to what I always had a passion for, travel.
“Having visited over 30 countries, Travel became a form of artistic expressions
of thoughts, emotions, intuitions, and desires. Still, it is even more personal than
that its about sharing how we experience the world, which is an extension of
our personality for many. The communication of intimate concepts cannot be
faithfully portrayed by words alone, that is why I curate travel as my form of expression.”
I was fortunate to be able to fulfill my one dream which was to see the world and be paid for my
adventures while working in the industry for seven years. I had the nickname "Sea Hag"
Unsurprisingly, I met my husband Kevin while we both worked on a cruise ship!
I specialize in customized exotic adventures, wellness vacations, and small ship cruising.

Chessine’s Travels
Your World Your Trip Your Way!
Unparalleled Value. No Lines. No Crowds. Big Adventure
You Get a Backstage pass.
Small .group travel that is only about a dozen in size
Expert guides have vast and deep experience, plus an impressive collection of advanced degrees in curiosity-piquing subjects from whales to fungi to geology.
Home away from home
The boats are comfortable, welcoming, and unique in style and personality. All are adventure-ready for gearing up, kicking back, and mixing and mingling.
Adventure for all ( Active as You Like)
Kayak or paddle board. Snorkel or skiff. Beach stroll, hike, or mountain goat climb. There are plenty of options and equipment for everyone to enjoy the fun.
Do as much or as little as you like. On top of the daily activities, ease into the day with sunrise stretches on the top deck. There’s exercise equipment at the ready, anytime. Or watch the landscape go by.
Fresh, hand-crafted cuisine
You don’t know how great the food is. Chefs (including pastry chefs) create meal after meal with locally sourced ingredients, mouth-watering desserts, and baked-on-board loaves of bread.
An astounding array of beverage options, both non-alcoholic and alcoholic (signature cocktails every night!) And it’s all included.
Zero hidden costs
What most defines your trip is included in the fare—excursions, adventure equipment, unlimited food, and beverages, including alcohol, transfers, and baggage handling. Put your wallet away (until it’s time to recognize your top-notch crew).
Platinum Customer Service … and then some.
Dietary restrictions? Special occasion? Need a little extra help on a hike? It’s my business to ensure your adventure matches your needs and expectations and surpasses them. Just ask me

African Safari
Extraordinary game viewing, not just the Big 5!
A safari is when you hear your first hyena's laugh echoing across the unmistakably unique plains with different landscapes. It’s coming across animals you’ve seen in your favorite zoo and never set eyes on before and see now in the wild. It’s sitting out at night, sharing your day’s experiences beneath a sky glittering with stars, a way to connect with diverse ancient cultures and rich traditions by land, air and water.
Hopefully, the day will never come when we can only see these incredible locations in a picture or a video. Additionally, I work with safari agencies that work in the conservation of both wildlife and local communities.

Villa Rentals
With COVID rules lifting, Are you the vacation planner for the big family reunion or friends getaway this holiday season? Let me be your one-stop problem solver.
Villas offer a distinctive design. Luxury villas are often impressive, one-of-a-kind properties such as châteaux, penthouses, ski chalets, modern beach houses, rural estates, and unusual locations. Because villas are built & designed by private individuals, they will always feature the owner’s personal sense of style without losing all the modern conveniences.
Villa rentals are great for multi-gen groups, couple retreats, family, wedding groups, and reunions. From Colorado, Italy, Bali, Costa Rica, and beyond.
