About Me

European, Antarctic and Caribbean Specialist

Travel has been a passion of mine since childhood, and I’m always planning for the next adventure. I’ve been fortunate to explore over half of the United States, much of Europe, and all seven continents. From summiting Mount Kilimanjaro and hiking the Inca Trail into Machu Picchu, to watching leopard seals chase penguins along the Antarctic Peninsula and receiving a traditional Balinese water blessing in Indonesia, my journeys have shown me the world’s incredible people, nature, culture, and diversity. These experiences not only fuel my passion for exploration but also allow me to bring authentic insight, inspiration, and creativity to the unique journeys I design for my clients. Whether that’s a relaxing beach escape or an immersive cultural adventure, I want to turn your dream vacation into reality.

Antarctica Done Right - From Drake to Zodiac

Antarctica Done Right - From Drake to Zodiac
Antarctica feels like its own world, where glaciers shift, penguins gather along the shore, and the light reflects in shades of blue that are hard to forget. When I traveled to the Antarctic Peninsula, I felt a rare mix of awe and calm that comes from being at the edge of the earth. It stayed wit...Read More ▶

Budapest, where history meets hot springs.
I first visited Budapest as a college student in the late ’90s. At the time, communism had ended less than a decade earlier, and it was clear the country was still in the early stages of rebuilding. Fast forward 25+ years, and returning to this beautiful city was nothing short of incredible. The ...Read More ▶

Caroline Nolan made this trip!!
Reviewed By David S. - Las Vegas, NV | Traveled to Whistler ~ British Columbia ~ Canada
Caroline's attention to detail is second to none. I don't know how I have been traveling for most of my life without her help. From free room upgrades to having someone with a sign with my name on it waiting for me as I exited the airport, this was hands down the easiest and best travel experience I have ever had. Caroline was always available when I had questions, which was not too often because her emails were so detailed, she answered my questions before I even knew what to ask for. She is clearly an expert in her field, and is what makes the difference between a good trip and a truly exceptional one. I don't settle for second best, and that's why I will always use Caroline when booking anything in the future. She just makes my life easier and better. And that's a commodity I do not take for granted!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best Honeymoon!
Reviewed By Cole H - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Greece | Europe
We could not give Caroline a higher recommendation. This is the second “major” trip she has planned for us, and both were a near flawless experience. She has never steered us wrong. On both trips I had my mind made up on certain things going into the planning but she convinced me otherwise and I am so glad she did. Caroline really did know best and at the end of each trip we were so glad we made the changes she suggested as they made for a much better overall experience. She is responsive and extremely helpful before, during, and after the trip. There is no doubt we will continue to use her for all our future travel planning needs. We can’t thank her enough for all the help she has been.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Magnificent travel agent
Reviewed By Sandra H. - Clyde Hill, WA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Caroline was exactly who our group of 6 needed as we planned our trip to Italy. I came to her with an outline of where we wanted to go and the dates we wanted to go, and after some consultation back and forth she really helped me and our group get a spectacular itinerary together. She had some very thoughtful insights about the benefit of staying in one place for a few nights rather than our original thought of a new city and hotel each night. Her lodging choices were lovely and the excursions she planned for us were so enjoyable. Her knowledge of the region and the novel ideas of how to take in the cities resulted in an unforgettable trip. I also enjoyed working with her throughout the process. All six of us are looking forward to working with Caroline on future trips, whether it is the group of us or just traveling as couples. She is magnificent!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Awesome AmaWaterways Cruise
Reviewed By Kathleen C - New York, NY | Traveled to Europe
Caroline was wonderful to work with while planning our AmaWaterways Captivating Rhine cruise. She helped us choose the perfect itinerary and even built out a couple of days before and after the cruise to continue exploring. Everything felt smooth and well organized from start to finish. Because of her, we were able to just relax and enjoy the experience.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Sandals Wedding
Reviewed By Katherine G. - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
Caroline made the entire experience of planning our Sandals wedding feel effortless from start to finish. We had originally chosen Sandals Montego Bay for our wedding, but after Hurricane Rafael last November forced the resort to close through May 2026, we suddenly had to pivot to a new plan. Caroline stepped in immediately, kept me calm, and handled everything with such confidence and care. Because of her efforts, we were even able to keep the same wedding dates at Sandals Ochi, which meant so much to us and our guests who had already booked their flights and rooms. From the very beginning, she understood exactly what we were looking for and guided us to the perfect fit. Her communication was always clear, timely, and thoughtful, which gave us so much peace of mind throughout the process. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how easy and seamless it was to work with her as well. We truly felt taken care of every step of the way and could not have asked for a better travel advisor.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
