Originally from Oahu, Hawaii, Jacintha moved to the U.S. mainland to attend college and  is “taking the long way home”.  With her sense of curiosity and a camera, her inherent wanderlust has taken her to different parts of the world including 10 years spent living overseas on 3 different continents.

She has also visited islands in other parts of the world (partial list): Caribbean (numerous), Mediterranean (Corsica, Sardina, Malta), Atlantic (Canary Islands, Falklands), South China Seas/Southeast Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore, Phuket, Koh Samui, Bali). With over 20 years of worldwide cruising experience, she is also an Accredited Cruise Counsellor (ACC) and a Master cruise Counsellor (MCC).

Using her expertise and experience, she has custom-designed itineraries for individuals and groups based on their interests, needs and desires. Believing very strongly that travelers should make the most of  their valuable vacation time and money, she has assisted her clients to create their own memorable experiences in some of her favorite places with some of her favorite people.

There’s an entire world to explore.
Let’s go together,
