About Me

Marienplatz in Munich
Marienplatz in Munich

Europe has been in my heart since my first trip there in high school with my German teacher. I fell in love with the language, culture, and travel in general. After that trip I went on to study and teacher German and picked up French, Swedish, and Italian just for the love of language. I have planned and lead group tours with both students and adults since 1984. I’ve been to so many countries and have a knowledge and skill set that I continue to expand on. German speaking Europe (Switzerland, Austria, and Germany is my favorite whether it is visiting castles or eating a Schnitzel and I have been there 28 times. Some of my other favorites that I return to again and again include Italy, France, Greece, and countries in Eastern Europe.My knowledge base is quite extensive and I can easily put together a customized trip or find the perfect tour/cruise. I honestly think I know more about some cities in Europe than I do cities in my own state. For example, if I book your trip to Italy I not only book flights and hotels, but I can share ideas for sights, food, and ideas for getting around the city.I’ve been so fortunate to have visited so many cool places, but two of my really unique experiences include working three weeks one summer in the German department of a Swedish middle school and taking time to travel around Sweden by car. I was also in Berlin in the summer of 1990 with high school students and we got to hammer off our own pieces of the Berlin Wall.Europe is a fabulous place to visit and I am confident I can book a wonderful experience wherever you go. I have contacts and friends in many countries that I can reach out to if I have questions. If you want more of a guided tour you can join me as I lead them with a tour director from the country we are visiting. I can also book cruises and other tours for places all over Europe and the UK.

10 day Switzerland Snowboard Trip
Reviewed By pugfamily - Red Wing, MN | Traveled to Switzerland ~ Europe
Shelley was the BEST! She planned a 10-day snowboarding trip for me and my son to Switzerland. We just got back at the end of January. Everyplace we stayed was perfect. We broke the trip up into different cities and each one was just what we were hoping for! She was so easy to work with and was able to give up the trip of a lifetime. We met with her and she took care of the rest, and even gave us a thank you bag! She also checked in with us to see how the trip went and was ALWAYS available when I had any questions. We will definitely be using her again!!

AMAZING Family Vacation!
Reviewed By Theresa W - Watertown MN | Traveled to Munich ~ Germany ~ Europe
Shelly was AMAZING to work with!! She was very excited to help us plan our trip to Germany! She helped save us money on both hotel and flights using our frequent flyer miles as well as having our hotel close, but not too close, to city center and within walking distance. She gave us so many ideas of things to see while in the area and recommending the best ways to get around in Munich. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone traveling to Germany, she knows the area very well!! She was always available to me, even while she was traveling cross county in the US as well as traveling in Germany herself! Shelly likes to travel and it shows!!
