Luxury Flight Destination, Travel Agent Specialist

Besides the northern lights and fjords, Norway offers a delectable selection of mouth-watering foods - foods that you probably have not tried before. Because Norweigans love adventure, food is no exception. For example, every residential Norwegian forages, and you can do the same as well on your Norway holiday. That is why I often suggest that travelers visiting Norway go on a foraging tour in August or September. That is when the hedgerows are in full bloom and prized porcini mushrooms can be easily found.  However, never pick mushrooms without a guide to help. That is why a foraging tour is a must-do activity. You can also pick dew-sparkling amber berries, cloudberries, and lingonberries in places  such as Hardangervidda and Rondane. Also, Husmanskost is a hearty and inviting lunch you will love - open sandwiches that feature sourdough or rye bread, topped with charcuterie, veggies, or seafood. You can savor the cuisine in places, such as the Havariet Bistro in Oslofjord.  Classic dinner dishes include unique and succulent foods, such as elk meatballs and reindeer stew, also called finnbiff. Enjoy these evening staples in places, such as the Elgustua Guesthouse in East Norway. When you eat that type of delicious food, you will need to find ways to work off the calories, and Norway has plenty of activities in which you can take part. One of the popular activities of the country, naturally, is skiing.  The word, "ski," itself comes from the Old Norse language. Many Norweigans assert that they had skis on their feet when they were born. Therefore, if you want to ski, you will find Norway to be a skiers paradise. You can hit the powder in winter or ski down a glacier during the summer. An exciting adventure always waits in this cold yet warm Scandinavian country. I would like to serve as your travel agent planner for Norway, as I know you will love your trip, regardless of when you choose to travel. Give me a call so we can go over all the exciting details now!

Czech Republic Travel Agent Specialist

Czech Republic Travel Agent Specialist

<p>One of the great places in Eastern Europe is the Czech Republic. That is why I am excited to represent this part of the world as a travel agent specialist.  The Czech Republic is famous for its beautiful lakes and castles. It’s a great place to visit if you love hiking, cycling, skiing, spa-like pampering and great food. The country has many interesting places worth exploring. To help you plan your trip, I’ve put together a list of the top 9 must-see attractions in the Czech Republic. Whether you’re planning on visiting for a few days or for longer, the attractions below are sites you must see.</p>
<p>1. Vysoká nad Jizerou Castle, Czech Republic Vysoká nad Jizerou Castle is a stunning example of a medieval castle in the Czech Republic. The castle was first built in the 13th century and has gone through many renovations since then.The castle is located on a hill, so it’s worth making your way up to see it from afar.</p>
<p>2. Prague Castle, Czech Republic Prague Castle is the largest and most important castle in the Czech Republic. It is also one of the oldest structures in Europe, dating back to the ninth century. The castle has a lot of history associated with it, so make sure to take some time to learn more about its fascinating past. The dungeon at Prague Castle is also worth visiting. This ancient prison has been around since the 12th century when it was built by Boleslaus II.</p>
<p>3. Charles Bridge, Prague Charles Bridge is a bridge that crosses the Vltava River in Prague, Czech Republic. It is one of the most famous landmarks in the country and has been featured in many books and movies. The bridge was completed in 1357 and spans more than one kilometer. It’s a popular spot for couples to take engagement photos, so if you’ve got your heart set on a special photo, this is the place to visit!</p>
<p>4. The National Gallery in PragueThe National Gallery in Prague is one of the most prestigious art galleries in the world. It features an impressive collection that includes works by Rembrandt and Rubens. The gallery is also home to pieces by artists such as Picasso, Van Gogh and Monet.  This impressive gallery houses over 2,500 works of art, with a focus on European painting during the 16th to 19th centuries. The building itself was created in 1874 to house some of these masterpieces. The National Gallery is located in Malá Strana, or Lesser Quarter, which is a district south of Old Town Square in Prague and close to Charles Bridge. Take a break from walking around Old Town Square and visit this gallery to view its impressive art.</p>
<p>5. St. Barbara’s Church and the Lobkowicz Palace in BrnoLocated in the old town square, this church is one of the most important places in the Czech Republic. It was built by Ferdinand II Lobkowicz and has a Baroque exterior. Once you’re done with your visit to St. Barbara’s Church, I recommend taking a stroll down to the Lobkowicz Palace. The Lobkowicz Palace was built by Ferdinand II in 1722 and is now used as an art museum open to the public. The palace has been intricately restored and its interiors are on display for visitors to enjoy. This attraction is perfect if you want to get a feel for how life was like in pre-communist Czechoslovakia.</p>
<p>6. Ceský Krumlov Castle, Czech Republic This castle is open all year round, and it is a great place to visit if you want to escape the hustle of the modern world. The castle was built in the 13th century, making it one of the oldest castles in Central Europe. It’s also a popular tourist attraction because people can explore its gardens and learn interesting facts about the history of Czechoslovakia from its exhibitions.</p>
<p>7. Dvorak Place Square, Prague Dvorak Place Square is located in the heart of Prague and it’s an ideal place to start your tour. This square can be found in the center of the city, which means that visitors will get a good look at the beautiful architecture while people-watching in the square. You’ll also find  plenty of places to eat, drink, and shop in this central Prague location.</p>
<p>8. Eger Castle, Czech RepublicEger Castle is found in the region of North Bohemia. It’s a must-see attraction that offers visitors a spectacular view of the countryside. The castle is surrounded by lush forests and boasts amazing gardens full of flowers and fruit trees.</p>
<p>9. Gerlitzen Estate and Brewery Tour in Prague This tour is for beer lovers. You’ll visit the brewery and taste some of the best Czech craft beers and other beers from around the world. The tour also includes a walk through Prague’s Old Town. Whether you are a first-time tourist or a seasoned traveler, the Czech Republic is a must-see destination. I know this  glimpse into the country’s culture and history will entice you to see more of the country’s landscape. Why not give me a call today and let’s start planning your once-in-a-lifetime getaway. I look forward to serving as your Czech travel agent advisor.</p>

Stoddard is one of the best I’ve ever worked with. He’s considerate, efficient, and gets me traveling all over the world in a moments notice.
RD - Rome ~ Italy ~ Europe
Stoddard is a wonderful travel agent who provides outstanding customer service!<br/><br/>I initially contacted Stoddard via email. He reached out to me that very same day via phone and email. I spoke with him at length that afternoon and explained that we want to go on a 10-12 day trip to Switzerland. Before I went to bed that evening, he sent over a full itinerary which included flights, hotels, some meals, and recommendations for how to spend our time. All of this came in under our budget. Everything that Stoddard picked was fabulous, but since we had some extra money we added an extra night and made one or two upgrades. Stoddard was patient, friendly, and responsive throughout all of our interactions, and he always gave his honest opinion when we asked him for his input. It's evident that he knows Switzerland very well!! Our trip is now officially booked and we could not be more excited! <br/><br/>I highly recommend using Stoddard to plan your next vacation. He will not disappoint!!
