1 if by Land, 2 if by Sea, 3 for YES, Please

I have been travelling internationally for almost 40 years and now am able to devote myself full time to being a travel adviser. I adore immersion art, architecture wildlife and snorkeling. Whetting my palate with great food and wines, some trips had 100% of the focus on food and wine. I even met my wife online because of a simple headline, "MUST HAVE PASSPORT AND BE WILLING TO USE IT." We both have shared passions in exploring both domestic destinations and international ones.

My two most requested types of itineraries are for curated European land travels and cruise packages. Not everyone wants cookie cutter itineraries with little to no down time. Others love those same tours to get the most from their journey without concern for logistics or required gear for adventures off the beaten path. This can be a lower cost option for many. My clients who prefer the escorted routes like G Adventures, Insight and Trafalgar tours. My middle aged sailors love Virgin, Royal Caribbean and Holland America, while others love Oceania and Viking.

Most of my clients prefer custom trips. Custom routes, excursions, and number of days per destination are based on their interests. Christmas Markets by rail? A custom German heritage itinerary under $5000 with flights, hotels and tours? Two weeks in Italy with mobility limitations? I got you. 

Small or large groups, private and local guides coupled with independent options allow my clients to get the most from their budget. Having been a travel advisor for just 2 years, I already have clients who are now on their their third itinerary I uniquely created for them. 

Matching cruises with individual personalities and budgets to specific cruise lines/ships is also in my wheelhouse. I have planned trips for solo cabins, themed river cruises for groups, and couples simply celebrating life.   

With my family cruise history numbering in the dozens (dating back to 1988), most of Europe's rivers have been covered and many popular cruise companies tested (I am certified with 10.) 

More couples well outside the boomer generation are learning the value cruises offer. Multi-generational voyages are growing in number as travellers see value in both immersion and education for the adults with added family times and kids spaces. Unpacking once, you can visit more countries and places than a traditional land package. More cruise lines are offering extended port times and even overnights in popular ports. Various port excursions and packages are offered to my travellers to enrich the experience.

Certified by the Cruise Line International Association as a Certified Cruise Counselor and by multiple river and ocean cruise lines, combined with my on-going studies with various vendors and in multiple destinations, my goal is to provide each client their "dream" cruise. 

People ask my about my favorite destinations. It's the next one. I am always planning our next adventures over the next 1-2 years. Currently, I am planning Croatia, Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica for myself. 

• Greece, Egypt and Italy fulfilled thirsts for art and ancient cultures.
• Iceland was all about landscapes and waterfalls and Northern Lights.
• France was art, wine and food.
• Galapagos and Tanzania was wildlife under the sea and above it.
• European Christmas Markets merge the scents of brats, sweet delicacies, wood fires with lights and history. What's not to love?
• Caribbean cruises and island life are for when life has gotten to hectic and we need chill, eat, and head underwater.

Chances are at least one of my interests overlap with yours. I enjoy finding the balance you need and want to create your dream trip.
