Specializing in Romance, Europe and River Cruises

I have been traveling the world for over 30 years enjoying the diverse beauty, cultures, food & wine and of course people from around the globe. I want others to love travel and feel the same excitement I do when embarking on a new trip.

However, in sharing my travels with others, what I experienced was feedback from family, friends and fellow "regional" travelers who don't book vacations or go on that exotic dream trip because they are overwhelmed by options of where to stay, when to go, how to get there or where to find trustworthy guidance. They're concerned about restrictions, requirements, visas, vaccinations, who to turn to when something unexpected happens...

Although I tried to calm these fears, I found many people experience "vacation paralysis" and never take the leap of faith to plan that trip of a lifetime. Instead, they're stuck at home watching others experience the joy of travel while secretly wishing it could be them.

I felt a strong need to help others feel confident and comfortable enough to go abroad and experience that much dreamed of travel. We live in an amazingly beautiful world, but you're never going to see or experience it at home! Looking at images online will never allow you to feel the joy of having been there. You'll never taste that mouth-watering Pho made fresh in Vietnam, sip wine overlooking the Caldera in Santorini or hear ocean waves underneath your over the water bungalow if you don't take the first step.

That's where I come in. Let me do what I do best and help explore what you truly want to experience. Then together we'll craft the trip of your dreams and you'll be the person others are watching while you enjoy new experiences.

Teresa is a delight to work with. She asks questions to learn about my travel goals, and she listens. She does everything possible to accommodate my preferences. Before my last trip, she met with me to make sure all plans were in order, and she provided me with a goodie bag containing travel essentials...sunscreen, bug repellent, wipes, etc. Her positive attitude and attention to detail takes the worry out of travel. I highly recommend her services.

Teresa was great to work with and took our list of needs to heart. She found us the perfect get-a-way. We loved everything about the experience!

Amazing! She is just amazing! Last summer I came to Teresa with a crazy request. I found myself, last minute, with a lot of time in July so I decided I wanted to go to Europe for three weeks. But I only had a week and a half to plan everything. As some one who has never been to Europe before and hasn't really traveled alone I was in over my head. But Teresa came in was able get in all done in a week! She gave me great suggestions on where to go and things to see, plus safety tips as a young female traveling alone. Then, while I was on the trip, Teresa was still reaching out and trying to assist with reorganizing/rescheduling when one of my reservations got canceled. I'm sure that Teresa would prefer to not have to plan something like that so last minute again, and for the future I definitely would like more time to plan as well, but it was a very unique situation and Teresa pulled it off, and was wonderful! I would recommend Teresa to everyone!
