About Me

Hiking in Tuscany along the Via Francigena
Hiking in Tuscany along the Via Francigena

A day hike in Tuscany, wine tasting in South Australia, climbing Kilimanjaro, horseback riding on the beach- all of these are active and adventure trips.  I love the outdoors and any form of activity is a rewarding experience. 

I have trekked to Mt. Everest Base Camp in Nepal- an experience of a lifetime. The people, culture and endurance it took to accomplish this, made every second worthwhile.

Another wonderful trip with breathtaking mountain views was the Ultimate Tour du Mont Blanc, where I hiked over mountain passes in France, Italy and Switzerland.  It was wonderful seeing families out in the mountains enjoying the sunshine.

I treat every trip for clients as  a new adventure and it is just as pleasurable for me planning a dream trip, as it is for them to experience it. I call it a conversational journey.  I have been a travel agent for 28 years having grown up in England, and have a unique perspective on life where the next continent- Europe-is only 25 miles away.

I lived and worked in Bahrain for five years and this gave me a fascinating insight of a different way of life and culture. 

If your passion is cruising Alaska's secluded regions fly fishing, getting off the beaten path to remote destinations, taking a family group to see Europe  through your eyes, I can make it happen.

It's all about YOU.  I listen to your needs, wishes and expectations , while offering my expertise, guidance and knowledge of destinations. I hand craft unique personalized itineraries  around the world.

Amazing- 2 weeks and 4 cities in Australia!
Reviewed By Bob P - Eastchester, NY | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Pauline was great in many ways! She was very responsive to our barrage of questions. We gave her an outline of what we were looking for, and she filled in the details perfectly, even adding another stop that we hadn't though of. She was able to pivot and make a few changes that came up as the months went on between our booking and our trip. And she always made sure we had the latest detailed copy of our two week, four city itinerary. Thank you, Pauline!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The Most Uniquely Interesting Trip of our Lives

Everest Base Camp - 17,598 ft high

Mt Everest, Nepal

Is your idea of a dream trip a bucket list destination, a sense of the unknown or an obsessive passion about a place?  Mine was Mt Everest and in 2014 I took my ultimate all encompassing challenge- a 17 day trek to Everest Base Camp. I flew from JFK via Dubai to Kathmandu, where the sounds and sensations of a city so alive was an incredib...
