About Me

I’ve had the pleasure of traveling to Europe on multiple occasions and It’s such an adventure! If you haven’t been you must plan a trip. There are so many things that you can see and do. It’s educational, inspiring and just plain fun! 

There is so much history that surrounds you. The cities are really old and the architecture stays true to it’s roots. You are walking amidst living history through the streets of Europe. 

The FOOD … where do I begin. It is the ultimate culinary experience. Be sure to try the local cuisines as they are simply delicious in their countries of origin. When in Italy eat Pizza, in Germany take down a bratwurst, enjoy corned beef and cabbage in Ireland … just to name a few, but there are MANY more! 

You need to immerse yourself in the local culture. Travel off the beaten path. Stop in the local bakery and try a pastry recommend by the owner.  There is great shopping so be sure to treat yourself. Treat yourself a new clothing item and whenever you wear this it will bring you back to Europe. 

I have personally traveled to Scotland and Ireland so I have barely touch the surface, but I have many more on my list. When you are ready to adventure through Europe I would be happy to help plan the details.

Awesome Vacation
Reviewed By JB - Baldwin, WI | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Mandy did a fabulous job! The resort we stayed at was wonderful. Mandy was always quick to answer our many questions and provided us with a lot of information on what excursions we could do while we were there. She also sent us a wonderful packing checklist to use and tips on things to bring and do. The entire experience was great and we would definitely use Mandy again!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Castles along the Rhine
Reviewed By GH - River Falls, Wisconsin | Traveled to Rhine Valley ~ Germany ~ Europe
Mandy has assisted me in planning several trips, both domestic and abroad. I have found her to be very helpful and a joy to work with. Most recently she booked a Rhine River cruise for my wife and me, which we thoroughly enjoyed. She has always been prompt and pleasant when asked to investigate trip details for us.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Travel made easy with Mandy!!
Reviewed By Lynn J. - Long Beach, CA | Traveled to Scotland ~ Europe
I selected Mandy due to her quick response to my initial inquiry. I had contacted another agent, but did not hear anything for 3 days. Mandy responded to me within 24 hours! She listened to our requests and delivered a wonderful itinerary. The best recommendation she offered was hiring a private chauffeur. It was money extremely well spent and made our trip relaxing, trouble free, and highly entertaining. She selected beautiful hotel accommodations for us. She was very helpful when it came to making changes to our itinerary and came up with excellent alternative suggestions. She is a travel expert and I would recommend her services to anyone who wants to work with an experienced, competent and professional travel agent!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Totally Awesome Trip
Reviewed By twidiker - Hammond | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Mandy was incredibly helpful. She is the perfect example of why to use a travel agent. She helped me add my SkyMiles info after I booked in order to get credit, she gave me great advice on how to avoid certain timeshare folks in the airport, sent updates on what to bring, what to do, etc. leading up to the trip as well as information on what to bring/not bring. The research and booking process were efficient and hassle-free. I would highly recommend Mandy to anyone looking to book a great trip! Our entire trip went splendidly!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    A British Escape for Spring Break

    As a lover of travel, there’s nothing I enjoy more than exploring new destinations—especially when I get to share the experience with my kids.

    Sailing the Rhine with Viking

      In November 2024, I explored one of Europe’s most iconic rivers — the Rhine River. Renowned for its fairytale castles, vineyard-covered hills, medieval towns, and grand cathedrals, the Rhine offers a magical blend of natural beauty and rich history.  Our cruise was with Viking River Cruises, and from start to finish — including f...

    The Craic was Mighty!

    The craic was mighty in Ireland! And let me start by letting you know that the word craic in the Irish dictionary means fun. The fun was definitely mighty in this beautiful country! If you haven't visited it should be a must on your bucket list. Our tour started in Dublin and just like any other major city, Dublin is very busy.  While in ...

    The Beauty of Ireland

    I felt very lucky to visit the beautiful country of Ireland.  I didn’t expect to see such a magnificent coastline and it seems to be endless. The country is full history and the culture runs deep with the locals.  There is so much to do that a return trip will be required. Here are just a few things that I would suggest: Visi...

    BAG PIPES AND KILTS…BONNIE SCOTLAND!

    Mountains, waterfalls, friendly locals and of course sheep- Scotland has it all! I was fortunate to be part of a guided tour with Brendan Vacations and amazed by this country. We started in Edinburgh and ended in Glasgow with many stops in between.  Edinburgh is so full of history- the Edinburgh Castle, Holyroodhouse and Carlton Hill just...
