There are moments in my career that remind me exactly why I do what I do. Attending Tauck Academy and becoming newly certified advisor was absolutely one of them.
Being invited to train as a Tauck Ambassador and earn certification with Tauck and Roam by Tauck was truly an honor. It’s an exclusive, immersive program designed for a small group of advisors who are deeply committed to understanding, not just selling, the travel experiences they recommend.
For me, this wasn’t just another training. It was an opportunity to go behind the scenes of a brand I trust and admire and deepen my ability to serve my clients at the highest level.
Why Tauck Has Always Stood Out
Long before this certification, Tauck had already earned my respect through firsthand experience.
One of my all-time favorite trips was a Tauck Rhine River cruise paired with Oktoberfest, an experience that was truly next level and one I’ll never forget. From exclusive access to flawless logistics, every detail was handled with care and intention.
That trip showed me what Tauck does better than almost anyone:
• Thoughtfully paced itineraries (never rushed)
• Access you simply can’t arrange on your own
• Truly all-inclusive pricing
• Seamless service from start to finish
• And the freedom to explore in your own way
They’ve spent more than 100 years perfecting this balance between structure and flexibility and it shows.
Inside Tauck Academy: More Than Just Training
Tauck Academy isn’t about sitting in a room listening to presentations. It’s designed to be immersive, experiential, and hands-on so advisors truly understand what clients experience from start to finish.
During the academy, we explored:
• Tauck’s philosophy of “half guided, half independent” travel
• How their Signature Moments are created
• What makes their partnerships and access so special
• How every journey is designed with the traveler in mind
• And how service is delivered so seamlessly behind the scenes
It gave me a deeper appreciation for the level of care, planning, and intention that goes into every itinerary.
This kind of training matters because when I recommend something to you, I want to know it inside and out.
Why Roam by Tauck Is Especially Exciting
One of the highlights of this certification was diving into Roam by Tauck, a newer collection designed specifically for travelers in their 40s and 50s.
This is a group I work with every day and it’s also the stage of life I’m in myself.
Travel in this season looks different.
It’s less about checking boxes and more about:
• Meaningful experiences
• Comfort without stuffiness
• Flexibility
• Great food and hotels
• Small groups
• And time to truly enjoy each place
In my experience, this market hasn’t always been fully served the way it deserves to be. Roam by Tauck fills that gap beautifully with average group sizes of around 16, curated experiences, built-in downtime, and incredible destinations including both river and land.
Seeing a brand like Tauck intentionally invest in this audience is incredibly exciting.
An Exclusive Benefit for My Clients
As part of this certification, I’m proud to share that I’m one of just 59 travel advisors nationwide who has been invited and certified as a Tauck and Roam by Tauck Ambassador.
Because of this, I’m able to offer a very special benefit to clients who are new to Tauck:
a complimentary pre- or post-night stay at a luxury hotel and it's something you won't receive by booking on your own.
It’s one more way I’m able to elevate your experience and add meaningful value to your trip—before you even step on board.
Why I Invest in Experiences Like This
I travel. I train. I attend academies. I seek out firsthand experience.
Not because I have to, because I want to.
I believe the best advisors are the ones who continuously learn, explore, and refine their craft. That’s how I make sure every recommendation I give you is thoughtful, informed, and tailored to your life and travel style.
Tauck Academy reminded me why I fell in love with this industry in the first place: when travel is done well, it changes you. It raises your expectations. And it becomes something you carry with you long after you return home.
