Europe and France and Italy Specialist

My desire is to create authentic experiences for people who value exploring worldwide destinations and immersing themselves in local cuisines, historic customs, and diverse cultures. I also specialize in group travel, strengthening bonds of friendship and connecting like-minded travelers who share a passion for food, wine, and the finer things in life. Working with local guides and boutique hotels, I bring you a one of a kind travel itinerary personally crafted and particularly curated, just for you. I personally lead several group trips each year.  You can find out more about current group trips you can join at WWW.DistinguishedTravelers.com

I am a native of San Antonio, Texas. From a young age I learned to appreciate other countries and their cultures. As a child I spent summers abroad which deepened my appreciation for the rich diversity of other parts of the world. Travels to Africa, Europe, Central and South America, and the Caribbean, reinforced my love for all that the world has to offer, and I enjoy helping others reach their dream destinations. I am a food and wine aficionado and have used that passion to fuel my travel business. I have lived throughout the continental United States, but currently make my home in North Carolina with my husband and three children.

Paris, France

I was extended an invitation by Atout France and the French Tourism Board to meet with local guides, hotels, and other industry suppliers to enhance my knowledge and network at the esteemed Rendez Vous En France Conference. I attend the TTG conference in Italy as well. These are international conventions with many countries represented. My extensive travels throughout various regions in France and Italy and other European countries has provided me with the insight to help create your perfect vacation. I travel to Europe several times per year to keep myself up to date on the latest for each of my Distinguished Travelers.

Customer Testimonials

Holiday Vacation In France

Marissa curated an incredible tour of France for us over Christmas and the New Year. Paris, Strasbourg and Val d'Isere in the French Alps. The Louvre, the Christmas markets, and the skiing were all incredible. The travel between each location was well planned and the accommodations along the way were impeccable. Marissa chose excursions in each location that were truly special. We will surely plan with Distinguished Travelers again!
