About Me

Photos from my Northern European trip 2025
Photos from my Northern European trip 2025

I have had the pleasure of several personal trips to Northern Europe, including a study abroad opportunity with significant time spent in England, Scotland and Paris.  I also recently sailed aboard the Norwegian Prima with stops in Iceland, Norway, Amsterdam, Bruges, and London.

My husband teases me about all the "tea-drinking" movies I watch, but I can't get enough of the English way of life!  Give me a pot of tea and some scones with clotted cream (it's more delicious than it sounds) and I'm a happy camper!

Norway and Iceland were so stunning, spending time on our balcony, sailing through the fjords was one of the highlights of our trip for me!  I felt so peaceful and connected and in awe of the beautiful scenery.

No matter how long you have to explore the stunning cities of Amsterdam, Bruges, London, Edinburgh, and Paris, it always feels like you need more time!  They all have their own charm, and are well worth a visit.

I would love to help you explore Northern Europe yourself, either with a cruise that allows you to unpack once and see many of the sights of Northern Europe in one trip, or a more intensive land-based to see all of the spots you've been dreaming about!

Galapagos Inner Loop on Celebrity
Reviewed By TI Fan - Mission Hills, KS | Traveled to Galapagos Islands | Ecuador | South America
From the time we landed in Quito to the time we left Quito for home, the Celebrity service was outstanding. On the ship the entire crew was friendly, knowledgable and responsive. The Galapagos Islands are one of earth's treasures. The variety of animals, the variety of landscapes and of plants are amazing. The various excursions provided variety for individuals of differing interests and capacities. I can strongly recommend this trip.

Patient, Understanding and FANTASTIC
Reviewed By BillanDeb - Kansas City Missouri | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Alena counseled a couple who had no idea what they were doing but wanted to go somewhere. She shared with them ideas and didn't get frustrated when they continued to be a challenge but get delivering. Her nickname should be "Alena delivers the goods" as she sure did!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Once in a lifetime 3 generations trip.
Reviewed By Barbie - Kansas City, KS | Traveled to London | England | Europe
From start to finish this trip was one I looked forward to for years. The specific details (which cruise, which excursions, extra stops after the cruise) were all adjusted & fine tuned before & even during our trip. The needs, wants & interests of all on the trip were all taken into consideration. From 6 year old to 74 year old, the trip was a joy. I am reminded every day of some part of our trip. The destination list is not actual trip friendly. We went to Iceland, Norway, Amsterdam, Bruge, London & Paris.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    My NCL Prima Journey

    We boarded the ship in Reykjavik, Iceland, after spending several days there, I already want to go back, there was so much left to do and see! Our first port was Isafjordur, Iceland, which was a lovely small town. We were blessed with gorgeous weather for our Gemlufall farm tour & hike at the Dynjandi waterfall.  I loved that our tour gui...
