Meet Alex
Travel has always been about more than simply seeing a new place. It's about the people you meet, the experiences you share and the stories you bring home.
My experiences as a U.S. Marine, educator and longtime group travel leader taught me the value of preparation, creativity and connection—all things I now bring to every Viva Vistas journey.
Whether you're planning a relaxing getaway, a cruise, a group adventure or a bucket-list journey, my goal is to make the planning process feel personal, organized and exciting.
Unforgettable Adventures, Just for You.
From the moment you dream it to the moment you return home, I take care of every detail. Whether you're flying across the world, cruising the seas, or riding the rails through breathtaking landscapes, your journey is crafted with care, creativity, and expertise.
