I am expert in two unique parts of the world, France & Dominican Republic.
France feels like home as I grew up in New Orleans. In the last few years, I have traveled north from Paris along the Seine to the beaches of Normandy, spent time in Bordeaux, and traveled through the quaint towns of Provence along the Rhône and the Saône Rivers. One of my favorite ways to visit France is on a river cruise, as it takes you away from the larger cities and sights and ensures that you become immersed in the romance and lifestyle of medieval times.
For the Dominican Republic, it's the warm and friendly locals who will keep enticing you back for return visits. Indeed, this prime Caribbean Island offers something for everyone, and be assured I will match you and your interests to the right resort, suggest activities (including hiking Pico Duarte - the tallest peak in the Caribbean), exploring deserts, rainforest, and quaint villages; water sports, dining, shopping, the variety of fun things to see and do.
