Randall Self
European Travel Specialist
EXPLORE. DISCOVER. EXPERIENCE.
I am a full-time travel consultant focused on European river cruises, ocean cruises, escorted tours, and customized vacations. I will guide you through every step of the process and each detail in planning your dream vacation. No task is too large, no detail is too small.
My greatest joy is to welcome you home from a trip we planned together and be the first to hear the stories you will tell for years to come.
Make use of my expertise to explore the world, discover something new, and enjoy experiences that create lasting memories. Let's get started today!
I have traveled extensively both at home and abroad while visiting every state in the continental United States as well as Portugal, Spain, France, and Brazil.
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time." - T.S. Eliot
