Adventure, Gastronomy, Luxury & Culture Specialist

 "Love what you do, do what you love."  Those words from Ray Bradbury ring true for me in my career as a travel advisor. 

Navigating foreign landscapes, people, cultures, cuisines, smells, transportation systems and geography is thrilling for me.  My curiosity of the world runs deep and I strive to place my like minded clients in the middle of it all.  

2021 brought me to Africa, South America, Europe, Mexico and throughout the U.S. in search of unique contacts and suppliers.  2022 will take me to Mexico, Machu, Ecuador, a 6 week trip throughout the Southeast, Costa Rica, Colorado and more.  

As a travel agency owner & trip designer,  I am eager to share my enthusiasm and expertise with clients.  My goal in building a fantastic itinerary for you is to take hours of trip planning out of your hands and make the process easy and enjoyable.  I strive to exceed your expectations, and sneak in a meal, side trip or adventure that will be unexpected, yet one of the highlights of your vacation.     

Whether you are looking to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro, relax on a tropical beach, cruise rivers or oceans, tour Italy for the wine crush, plan a group trip, or trek through the jungles of Africa or Asia, I am eager to build an authentic experience that meets your dreams. 

I look forward to travel advising adventures in 2022 and hope you will be part of the journey!

Canceled for Corona
Reviewed By
Kat - Chicago | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
Carol is very knowledgeable about her work and enthusiastic about creating awesome personal experiences for travelers. When our travel had to be canceled due to travel bans related to the Corona Virus, Carol was sympathetic and went beyond our expectations in relieving our stress and helping us to recover lost expenses. Thank you, Carol :)

Jennifer (Gigi) - LaGrange, Illinois | Traveled to Galapagos Islands ~ Ecuador ~ South America
Everything was scheduled perfectly. The pandemic is no one's fault. We are in constant contact on the next steps: IE re-booking etc. I hope to finally get to my destination. Have already recommended and will so in the future.
Carol Scotty responded
"Thanks so much for the review and I'm so disappointed that you won't be swimming in the waters of the Galapagos this month! I look forward to making it all happen for January."

A fabulous 'bucket list' trip to Hawaii!
Reviewed By
Wannabe World Traveler - La Grange, IL. | Traveled to Maui Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
An absolutely great experience in planning a 'bucket list' trip to Hawaii. Carol Scotty just 'gets it'. She helped with outlining a great menu of choices for a family of four (Mom and Dad and twin boys that are 25) after an initial interview discussion around budget and any possible experiences that may interest us (the three males had never been to Hawaii and Mom had been once over forty years ago). We asked Carol to help us experience Hawaii but, we wanted it to be relaxing and not to stressful moving around. We were actively engaged without running ourselves into the ground - it was perfect. Carol suggested Oahu and Maui and we were not disappointed., Clear and concise itineraries (printed and digital) were also unbelievably helpful., Carol was also very helpful in navigating and modify bookings when it became evident that originally selected facilities were going to be under renovation during the time that we were planning to be there., Again, an overall great working experienc
Carol Scotty responded
"Neale, Thank you for not only the fantastic review, but entrusting your "last hurrah" (I hope not) of a family vacation with me! Your family certainly went into this trip with gusto and it was a pleasure to have your go ahead to include all of the activities and adventure. Still awaiting the helicopter photos:) Until next time!"

Maui Trip

Matt - Chicago | Traveled to Maui Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Carol's bookings made it easy for us to check into multiple hotels on our trip, as well as pick up our rental car. The app interface also made our plans very easy to plan our days around activities.
