Destination Advisor by an Adventurer
As a lifelong adventurer, lover of nature, history, culture and photography, my passion is travel. From Scandinavia, Iceland, Alaska, Glaciers all over Europe and Canada to the clear beautiful waters of the Caribbean. But there is so much more to see and do such as the wonders of Australia, New Zealand, India, Costa Rica, Mexico and Israel. Do you want to hike, bike, swim, view the Aurora or the masters of Art in Italy? Is your desire a cruise, a custom vacation, group trip, honeymoon or destination wedding? I'd love to help you live your dream whether it is laying on a beach or circumnavigating Mt. Blanc.
I am passionate about the culture, history and cuisine travel has to offer and would love the opportunity to make your adventure the trip of a lifetime!

Amazing hiking/trek Aurora Borealis chase in Norway.
Reviewed By Doctor Don - Tucson, AZ | Traveled to Norway | Europe
I usually don't write reviews unless the service provided was truly exceptional. Our trip was very complex with multiple "moving parts". Nancy Kemper was was outstanding in all the following: personal first hand knowledge of Norway and Aurora Borealis chasing; researching options to meet our specific needs; was efficient and detailed in trip planning; was flexible and helpful with changes; promptly responded to questions or concerns; followed up during our trip to make sure we were on schedule and sent reminders during the trip; vetting and securing a hiking guide;
During the entire process Nancy was reliable, pleasant and affable. The bottom line is that we had an amazingly awesome Norway hiking trek and Aurora Borealis chase rated by our local guides as a 20 on a scale of 10!
Nancy Kemper responded
"Thank you for the glowing words. It was a pleasure to work with you and so gratifying to hear how much you enjoyed your trip!

Perfect trip to Glacier!
Reviewed By JenFam - Ogden Dunes, Indiana | Traveled to Glacier National Park | Montana | USA
While my husband has been to Glacier many times, we were so fortunate to have Nancy plan this trip for him and my son. She found a great cabin for them close to the park and a water rafting excursion. She was great to work with - very responsive, customized itinerary and thought of everything. Thank you again Nancy!
