Independent Travel Advisor

Hi! I'm Fox, a Certified Travel Advisor (CTA) and Accredited Cruise Counsellor (ACC) with MEI-Travel. After Covid, I followed my passion for travel and launched my own business to create unforgettable adventures. I specialize in global travel, group trips like family reunions, corporate retreats, and special events, with a love for cruising—think Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, NCL, or luxury lines like Explora Journeys and Silversea. I’m also a theme park buff, especially for Universal and Disney! Now based in Knoxville, Tennessee, I’ve helped hundreds of clients across East Tennessee and beyond save money and enjoy stress-free dream vacations with my expertise.
