I have always had the travel bug, always, but after living in Germany in my 20s with two small children and a husband who was fulfilling his duties with the US Armed Services - so seldom home - I REALLY learned about travel. I would put the boys in their car seats, pack a small bag and we were GONE! Exploring as many nooks and crannies, small villages, and big cities as my car and passport allowed.
I have always loved history, so living in a land immersed in it was a fairytale! I woke up every morning with the local castle staring at me from across a field saying come - explore.
I bring that passion for exploration to every itinerary I plan for me, and my clients. I have planned hundreds of trips to Europe for clients via every mode of travel possible - rail, car, air, hot air balloon, cruise, river cruise, barge cruise, and a helicopter. Me, I tend to stick with air, cruise (ocean and river), and rail... I will drive in Switzerland, Germany, Liechtenstein, Austria, NORTHERN Italy, and Luxembourg - but leave the driving to others in the rest of Europe.
From the windmills of Amsterdam to the Amalfi Coast there are sights too amazing to be concentrating on the road. The Romantic Road, the castles on the hilltops seemingly around every bend, the flora and fauna, the architecture and people are
all too special to miss. Chianti or Champagne? Perogi or Paella? Wine or beer? Sparkling or still? These are the important decisions of your day.
Let's talk and discover where your senses (and tastebuds) are begging to explore.

Expect the Best!
Reviewed By Carol - Salem, OR | Traveled to Canada
It was only by chance that I found Mershawn & have I been blessed! She coordinated travel for 5 of us from different locations, kept track of all details (personal & trip), educated us as 1st time cruisers & double-checked EVERTHING so our trip was perfect. She also connected after the trip to get feedback. She couldn't have done more for us. You will be thrilled with the results she obtains for you.

LOVE how Mershawn is extremely on top of replying in a quick manner, when she says she'll take care of it I don't have to worry if it'll actually get done...it will. Greatly appreciate how she works to give you the best price . Her knowledge is FABULOUS! She has a deep wealth of knowledge and I was pleasantly surprised how much I learned from her since we travel a lot. She truly listens and understands to how you like to travel and is flexible to meeting your comfort zone(s).

MOST CARING TRAVEL AGENT
Reviewed By Grandmo - Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
She has been awesome both times that we have booked our trips through Mershawn. She is professional, caring, concerned & just down right nice. Although I have never met her in person, I feel like I know her. She has emailed me, text me, phoned me to help with concerns that have come up due to health. Looked after booking wheelchairs at sea, in the airports, getting me on board credit & just generally wants to help me however she can. As I said at the beginning of this review, she is awesome!
