In the meantime, here are some examples of my past ideal clients. So, if you hear someone that matches one of these descriptions, make sure to connect them with me. 

​​

EXAMPLE #1 – Sue
* Single woman who is a lawyer by profession
* Wanted to celebrate her 75th birthday 
* Her budget was no more than $6k total (I came in under budget)
* She thought a river cruise through Germany would be ideal
* She is an active gal and much younger in her mind than her age 
* Was concerned about the average age on river cruises (she had a great time)

* I assured her of the wide age range with clients I have booked
* Contacted me 3 months ahead 

​

EXAMPLE #2 – Jane & John
* Young professional couple in their late 20’s and wanted help with their honeymoon

Finally, another way you can help refer me is to post on Facebook. I get tagged many times on Facebook by people who are trying to be helpful, however it isn't always the best way to refer business to me. A personal introduction works best or a short testimonial if it is someone you don't know. Here is an example and feel free to change it to fit you better!
