About Me

Castles, lochs, and legends!
Castles, lochs, and legends!

Scotland, a land of rugged beauty and deep-rooted tradition, captivates visitors with its dramatic landscapes, historic castles, and warm, welcoming spirit. It’s a country where ancient legends meet modern vibrancy — offering an atmosphere that feels both mystical and alive.

Edinburgh, the capital, is a city of striking contrasts. Its medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town create a setting rich with character and charm. Visitors can explore Edinburgh Castle perched atop an ancient volcano, wander the Royal Mile, and enjoy world-class festivals that fill the city with music, art, and celebration.

To the west, Glasgow brings a different kind of energy — creative, bold, and full of life. Known for its impressive architecture, innovative museums, and lively music scene, Glasgow offers a perfect blend of culture and personality.

Beyond the cities, Scotland’s landscapes are nothing short of breathtaking. The Highlands stretch out with misty mountains, shimmering lochs, and vast open spaces that feel untouched by time. Destinations like Glencoe, Loch Ness, and the Isle of Skye offer some of the most dramatic scenery in the world, ideal for hikers, photographers, and anyone seeking pure natural beauty.

Scotland is also rich in history, from ancient standing stones and medieval castles to battlefields and historic villages. Each region tells a story, whether you’re exploring Stirling Castle, wandering through coastal fishing towns, or discovering the charm of whisky distilleries tucked into rolling hills.

Scottish cuisine is hearty and flavorful, featuring fresh seafood, savory pies, and sweet treats like shortbread. Paired with a glass of world-renowned Scotch whisky or a pint in a cozy pub, dining in Scotland feels warm, comforting, and authentically local.

Whether you’re tracing the footsteps of kings, exploring wild landscapes, or soaking up the culture of vibrant cities, Scotland offers a journey filled with wonder, beauty, and unforgettable experiences.

If you would like to visit Scotland, please give me a call.

Consultant- New Business Development
Reviewed By Young John - Lima Oh | Traveled to Alaska | USA
When planing an event, details and communication are paramount. Nancy was very kind to help me plan my fights to Anchorage. One airline there and a different airline on return. One of my return flight legs had been delayed. Out of no where I received a text from Nancy letting me know about my flight being delayed before I even knew about it. She worked with me to get me home that night with flight options and additional advisement. You can expect that detail of exceeding expectations and then some! Thank you Nancy for being so proactive! We truly enjoyed our fishing trip in Alaska!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The Best memories for the both of us
Reviewed By Trust Nancy - Ohio | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
While traveling to the airport for our trip to Hawaii, a snow storm canceled the flight around 3am including rescheduling us for the next day, which was unsat. We got home around 5:00am and within a few minutes Nancy called us and got us another flight which we left directly to the airport to catch a same day flt, Nancy was solely responsible for saving the vacation we had planned for months, Absolutely the best travel service I've ever had.
Nancy Uehran responded
"Thank you SO much — this seriously made my day. I know how stressful it is to have a flight canceled in the middle of the night, especially when it’s a trip you’ve been planning for months. I’m really happy I was able to get you re-booked quickly and get you on a same-day flight so you could still make it to Hawaii. Thank you again for letting me help you plan your adventures."

Flawless Travel to Italy
Reviewed By WDMNancyFans - West Des Moines, Iowa | Traveled to Italy | Europe
My wife and I had made a 4-day reservation in Positano, Italy. We soon realized the complexities of planning a 14 day trip for our 1st visit ever to Europe. We went to Nancy with this 1 reservation, “sites to see” wish list, and desired travel dates. Nancy came back with perfect travel plan to maximize our stay, yet giving us plenty of time to do our own thing. Using See Italy, Nancy put together private transportation, that made for worry free travel for our trip. Nancy not only arranged air, auto, train, and water taxi transportation, she alerted them of our trepidation, so drivers personally escorted us through the train station and airport. Can’t thank Nancy enough for arranging our stress free travel!!
Nancy Uehran responded
"I’m so touched by your message! Planning your first trip to Europe was truly a pleasure, and I’m delighted to know it all came together seamlessly. Knowing you could simply relax, explore, and fall in love with Italy—that’s exactly what I strive for every time. Thank you for trusting me with such a special journey! Thanks, Nancy"

Germany, Austria, and Switzerland trip
Reviewed By Tealla - Bozeman Montana | Traveled to Germany | Europe
Nancy did a fantastic job coordinating our lodging for our two week trip! I was lost on how to find the perfect places to stay. She worked with our budget and we loved all every place she picked! They were all within walking distance of the old towns and we had a wonderful time! She was very communicative and I appreciated all her effort. Would highly recommend her to anyone who is traveling to Europe! Thanks Nancy!
