About Me

Agent Specializing in Europe and Caribbean

I’ve had the pleasure of traveling to Europe on multiple occasions and it’s such an adventure! History surrounds you in Europe. Cities dating back centuries and the architecture stays true to it’s roots. Cruising the European river ways, sleeping in snow igloos in Norway, independent and guided vacations, small Weddings, Honeymoons, family heritage trips, outdoor adventures, cultural food and beverage experiences, searching for architectural and historical wonders, Religious Pilgrimages, private yachting, or simply relaxing on a beach are all my areas of expertise. Going to new countries and experiencing the local culture has a profound effect on everyone. It’s also one of the best ways to relax and improve our outlook on life. I want your vacation to be entirely unique and personalized, and I will focus on your interests and goals when booking your next trip.

Wonderful River Cruise
Reviewed By Cassie - St Louis | Traveled to Europe
I have taken many trips organized and overseen by Rob - my most recent was a river cruise through Europe that brought together family and friends from more than one state. The trip itself was superb and went without a hitch - but the planning stages were also made significantly less troublesome with Rob's expert advice and guidance.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best River Cruise Yet!
Reviewed By dedwards - St. Louis, MO | Traveled to France ~ Europe
Rob was wonderful to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable and very easy to work with. After our initial meeting, Rob was able to guide us through the decision making process for our Avalon River Cruise and we could not be more pleased with the overall experience - and trip! We plan on doing more trips like this and Rob will be the first call we make.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

After being checked in at the open air reception area, we were escorted to our suite. Wh...
