My background is the performing arts, and maybe you have seen me on the New York stage, Grease Live! on Fox, or in a Comedy Central sketch. My passion to entertain is connected to everything I do.
I've also worked on the other side of the camera with photography, directing, vocal coaching, stage managing, and comedy writing. My strength for communication and customer service also led me to a 12 year career as a personal assistant for songwriters, choreographers and well-known TV/film celebrities.

VICTORIA'S ORIGIN STORY
My love of art and art history naturally led to my love of travel. The years that I lived abroad in the vibrant city of London allowed me to travel extensively throughout Europe. Experiences, which included enchanting visits to Paris, the historic charm of Rome, and the stunning beauty of the Greek Islands, not only broadened my cultural horizons but also deepened my love for discovering new places and sharing these adventures with others.
As a keen photographer, I revel in capturing the beauty of travel, from the architectural wonders of iconic cities to the serene landscapes of picturesque countryside. This enthusiasm fuels my dedication to planning unique and personalized travel experiences for our guests that are both memorable and enriching. Let’s get packing!
