So excited to return to Italy's Cinque Terre!

Throughout my adult life, I have consistently held three passions: world history, world cuisine, and world travel.  A lifelong travel enthusiast, it was a semester abroad in graduate school at Oxford University and a decades-long fascination with PBS’s Rick Steves and Jacques Pepin that truly brought my travel obsession to fruition.  It is truly a dream come true to make world travel a full-time occupation, bringing with me over 20 years of practical travel experience and knowledge. 

My specialties include custom-tailored European land/rail combinations and river cruises, as well as exotic packages to Asia and Africa for the adventurous and discerning traveler of any age.  This means you can plan your vacation YOUR way, instead of following an escorted tour schedule.  But there are plenty of guided options as well for those who enjoy the social aspect of a tour.  Regardless, I strive to find authentic accommodations, standard or luxurious, representative of the local culture. Truly, wherever you want to go, I can get you there...in style and comfort!

Whether you are boarding your first European train, or you are circumnavigating the globe for the 25th time, whether you want to escape for a long weekend or disconnect for months at a time, let my expertise and client-centered approach work for you!  I will be there every step of the way, fastidiously handling all the details, finding you the best value for your time and money, and most importantly, allowing you to RELAX and enjoy your well-earned vacation!
