About Pascale

I help busy professionals, empty nesters, and adventure-minded travelers plan cruise vacations that fit their travel style, interests, and budget, whether that's an Alaska cruise, a river voyage through Europe, a small-ship adventure, or an expedition to someplace extraordinary.

Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent nearly 16 years in public safety communications and previously worked as a zookeeper. While those careers may seem very different, I often joke that they weren't as different as people might think. Both required staying calm under pressure, paying attention to details, solving problems, and helping others navigate challenging situations.

Today, I bring those same skills to travel planning. Thankfully, vacation planning is usually a lot less stressful than escaped animals or emergency calls, but helping people make informed decisions and travel with confidence remains at the heart of what I do.

That's often what my clients value most.

I enjoy helping travelers compare their options, understand the differences between cruise lines, and choose experiences that genuinely fit their needs, not simply the most expensive itinerary. Whether it's finding the right Alaska cruise, navigating accessibility considerations, planning around dietary needs, or deciding whether a premium, luxury, or expedition experience makes the most sense, I believe informed travelers make better decisions.

When I'm not researching cruise ships and destinations, I'm usually looking for wildlife here in the Pacific Northwest, planning my next adventure, or finding a perfectly reasonable professional excuse to take another cruise.
