European Land & River Cruise Expert

European: Italy, Greece, River Cruise, Private Yacht Charter and Honeymoon  Specialist

I'm often asked how I got into the travel industry. It's a funny story that actually began after our honeymoon. After our trip, I found myself captivated by the world and eager to explore more.

Then, a few years later, my husband was offered a job in Italy. We seized the opportunity and moved our family to Modena, Italy, the birthplace of balsamic vinegar. Living in Italy was a transformative experience, immersing us in its rich culture and allowing us to travel extensively throughout the country.

Our travels took us to many fascinating countries, including Italy, Greece, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain. We became quite adept at exploring both bustling metropolises and quaint, smaller towns, venturing even further into neighboring countries like Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Turkey, and Palma de Mallorca.

As our family's adventures grew, we developed a playful competition: collecting stamps in our passports and vying for the highest airline status. This passion for travel and my desire to share my expertise led me to become a travel agent over 16 years ago. I wanted to help others experience the joy of traveling like a pro.

My passion for travel has led me to explore a wide range of destinations, and I’m constantly seeking out new adventures. Some of my favorite European countries include Italy, Greece, France, Spain, the UK, Ireland, Slovenia and Hungary.

I specialize in crafting personalized river cruise vacations. Whether you're dreaming of exploring Europe's iconic waterways or discovering hidden gems, I'll work closely with you to design a unique itinerary that perfectly aligns with your interests and preferences. Your dream vacation is my top priority.

Beyond my European focus, I also offer a wide range of vacation options, including Caribbean getaways, cruises, and more. No matter your dream destination, I'm dedicated to curating a personalized itinerary that reflects your unique interests and preferences.

I'm passionate about creating personalized travel experiences that exceed your expectations. My exclusive partnerships with reputable travel companies guarantee you'll enjoy the best possible service and accommodations.

As a Certified Travel Consultant, I’m dedicated to providing you with personalized travel planning and expert advice. To attain this rating, I had to complete a formal training course and pass a professional examination. I also maintain my accreditation through annual continuing education, ensuring I’m always up-to-date with the latest industry trends.

My commitment to providing exceptional service doesn't end when your trip is booked. I'm available to assist you before, during, and after your journey, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience. I'm excited to help you plan your next adventure and create lasting memories.
