Carpe Dink’em Pickleball & With Heart Travel Update
As a pickleball player, certified coach with IPTPA, and travel advisor, I run With Heart Travel and organize Carpe Dink’em Pickleball Vacation Adventures. My knowledge and experience with both pickleball and the travel industry allow me to curate experiences that are meaningful and of great value.
With Heart Travel brings pickleball With Heart to each of my organized group trips to include a “giving exchange,” designed to connect travelers with those who live in that destination.
Travel is a pathway, allowing people of different cultures and backgrounds to establish and form true bonds and real trust. Pickleball is a sport that fosters teamwork and friendly competition. Travel is a way to see the world, learn, have new experiences. Pickleball, a sport where people “play” together!
The combined force of both these elements serves to form trust and understanding between people. Carpe Dink’em’s Pickleball With Heart utilizes the power of travel and pickleball to serve as vehicles toward creating the peaceful community.
Destination partnerships currently incude: Women In Sports of Turks and Caicos; Turks and Caicos Islands Football Association’s Girls On A Mission; and the Calasanz Bavaro School in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; Pickleball Guatemala; Pickleball Cuba; Pickleball Peru; Pickleball Dreams in Uganda. In addition to the local organizations in each destination, I also donate a part of all proceeds to valuable causes such as Doctors Without Borders and St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
Please see attached article from the Signature Travel Network’s Travel Elevates featuring my With Heart and “giving exchange” model. I currently seek sponsorships and collaborative partnership opportunities to build this Carpe Dink’em Pickleball With Heart so that travel and the sport of pickleball serve as a genuine force for good.
I offer group trips to a variety of locations, from all-inclusive Caribbean resorts to Dink Down Under™ opportunities to visit Australia and play with locals. Limitless possibilities exist for pickleball and travel, from river cruises, culinary/wine tours, to custom multi-generational family adventures. I am excited to continue to bring these elements together.
I am always also available to work with your club / community and coaches to design custom trips to allow for great travel, pickleball instruction, open play, etc., to fit your groups’ needs and interests.
