About Me

There are few places on Earth as captivating and otherworldly as Iceland- and as a travel advisor with personal experience exploring this incredible destination, I’m here to help travelers discover its magic in ways that are seamless, immersive, and unforgettable.From the moment I set foot in Iceland, I was captivated by its raw beauty and unique blend of natural wonders. I’ve completed the iconic Golden Circle route, which showcases some of Iceland’s most awe-inspiring sites, including Þingvellir National Park, the geothermal power of Geysir, and the breathtaking Gullfoss waterfall.

But Iceland’s true magic goes far beyond the highlights, and that’s where my expertise comes in.Whether you’re dreaming of chasing the Northern Lights in the winter or soaking in the Midnight Sun during summer, I’ll tailor your Iceland itinerary to match your timing, interests, and sense of adventure. I help travelers explore glaciers by snowmobile, hike behind waterfalls in the south, relax in geothermal spas like the Blue Lagoon or the lesser-known Secret Lagoon, and even venture into lava tubes and ice caves. I also help my clients discover Iceland’s quieter, more intimate corners- from coastal fishing villages to lesser-traveled regions in the Westfjords and North Iceland.

I work with couples planning honeymoons or romantic getaways, families looking for hands-on nature experiences, and solo travelers eager to explore Iceland's dramatic landscapes at their own pace. Whether you prefer the flexibility of a self-drive tour, the ease of a guided group, or the exclusivity of private excursions, I can craft an itinerary that fits your travel style and comfort level.I understand how overwhelming planning a trip to Iceland can feel- changing weather conditions, rural accommodations, and long stretches of open road are all part of the experience. That’s why I provide my clients with expert guidance every step of the way, ensuring each day of their trip is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. From selecting the right rental car to booking lodges with the best chances of seeing the Northern Lights, I’ll make sure you’re well prepared without feeling overplanned.

Iceland is not just a destination- it’s a feeling. A place where glaciers meet lava fields, waterfalls thunder into mossy canyons, and every bend in the road reveals something unexpected. Helping travelers experience that feeling is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.Whether it’s your first visit or you’re returning for a new adventure, I’d be honored to help you create a personalized, unforgettable journey through one of the most beautiful and dramatic landscapes on the planet.Let’s start planning your Iceland adventure today- there’s no place like it. Let me know if you'd like to highlight specific seasons, activities (like photography, hot springs, or food experiences), or client types (honeymoons, adventure travelers, etc.) to tailor it even further!

Surprise Engagement in Newport
Reviewed By Tim860 - Plantsville, CT | Traveled to Newport | Rhode Island | USA
I can’t thank Dorothy enough for helping me plan the perfect surprise engagement in Newport- especially during such a challenging time. With limited options due to COVID, she went above and beyond to create a safe, romantic, and unforgettable experience. She arranged amazing meals, beach excursions, and visits to local wineries, all while keeping health and safety top of mind. Most importantly, she helped me plan the perfect proposal on a quiet dock along the water at sunset. It was intimate, beautiful, and absolutely magical. My girlfriend said yes, and now she’s my wife! We’ll always be grateful for her help in making that moment so special.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Elopement on Marginal Way
Reviewed By Jaxgirl904 - Southington, CT | Traveled to Ogunquit | Maine | USA
Our elopement weekend in Ogunquit was absolutely perfect, and we owe it all to our amazing travel agent, Dorothy! She helped us plan a romantic long weekend centered around our intimate ceremony on the Marginal Way, and every detail was just right. The accommodations she selected were cozy, adult-only, and perfectly located- ideal for a peaceful, romantic escape.

An amazing experience!
Reviewed By Emmylu217 - CT | Traveled to Maine | USA
My recent trip to coastal Maine was nothing short of spectacular—and I owe much of that to the incredible planning and support from my travel agent, Dorothy. From the rocky shores of Acadia to the charming streets of Camden and the picture-perfect lighthouses dotting the coastline, every moment of the journey was thoughtfully curated and absolutely unforgettable. Dorothy took the time to understand exactly what kind of experience I was hoping for—scenic views, great seafood, cozy coastal towns, and a relaxed pace—and she delivered on every count. She helped me book the perfect accommodations with ocean views, recommended restaurants that served the freshest lobster rolls imaginable, and even found hidden gems like local art galleries and quiet walking trails that I never would have discovered on my own. Her attention to detail was impeccable. Every hotel was welcoming and well-located, all transportation was smooth, and her itinerary struck the perfect balance between structure and f

Savoring the Finger Lakes Wine Region with Expert

We’ve worked with Dorothy before, so when it came time to plan our group trip to the Finger Lakes, we knew we were in great hands- and she didn’t disappoint! She found us the perfect lakeside home on Seneca Lake with stunning views and plenty of space for everyone. She took care of all the details, from booking fantastic restaurants to creating a personalized wine tour that was fun, relaxing, and just right for our group. Every moment felt seamless and special. We’re so lucky to have her guiding our journeys and can’t wait to plan the next one together!

Three Generations Together on Cape Cod
Reviewed By bocanorth - Brooksville, FL | Traveled to Cape Cod | Massachusetts | USA
Our week in Cape Cod was everything we hoped for and more, thanks to our incredible travel agent, Dorothy, who designed the perfect multigenerational getaway. She found us a beautiful private home in a quiet, private community that gave our family of three generations the ideal mix of togetherness and relaxation. From grandparents to grandchildren, everyone had space to unwind and activities to enjoy. She helped coordinate everything- private beach access, local excursions, and even great restaurant recommendations nearby. Every detail was thoughtful and seamless, allowing us to simply enjoy time together and make lasting memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
