Two of my favorite destinations in the world are the United Kingdom and the state of California.

With every return visit to the stunning United Kingdom, I find new experiences for my clients to make memories of a lifetime from staying in a castle, having tea where Queen Victoria dined, or wandering through King Henry VIII's hunting grounds.

Now let's explore my home state of California. We'll start in Napa Valley, where I can easily arrange private tours of unique vineyards especially beautiful at harvest time. We'll stop in the Redwood Forest to gaze at the trees, Shop and eat our way through San Francisco and then head south to explore the spectacular coastline through Carmel, Big Sur and Santa Barbara, with a stop at the legendary Hearst Castle.

I have always had the Travel Bug. Growing up in Switzerland allowed me to explore the surrounding countries. I have now been a Travel Advisor living in Flagstaff, Arizona, for 30 years, and I have explored this beautiful state and the surrounding states extensively. Even though I have been a U.S. citizen for many years, I still travel internationally often and my most favorite destination (other than Switzerland!) is Peru. Peru is truly a magical destination that once you've been there you're hooked. My opportunities to experience this diverse destination run the gamut from hiking the Inca Trail and riding a horse from the Sacred Valley to Cuzco, to escorting a group of elderly travelers with mobility issues.

My mother is 100% Italian born and reared, and Italy was my playground growing up, having spent much time on Italian soil until I was 18. Now, I return for at least three weeks every year making site tours, meeting with hoteliers, maintaining my valuable local contacts, and learning what's new and exciting to recommend to you - my valued client.

I am so fortunate to have lived in Geneva for seven years - until 2021. I continue to visit very often, as I have two children who still live here. I know this country - all of its many beautiful destinations, exciting sights to explore and year-round activities to enjoy, and that's just the beginning of all that I'll recommend to you when we start planning your upcoming Switzerland holiday.

In Iceland, you can have a variety of experiences, including black-sand beaches, glaciers, waterfalls, and volcanic terrain. One of the most exciting opportunities to truly experience Iceland is to drive the Ring Road - and I look forward to sharing with you why this is such an incredible opportunity. There are literally a "ton of things to see and do" in Iceland. For example, you can go whale watching, where you also have a chance to see dolphins and seals.

The most recent visit to my favorite destination on earth - ICELAND - was a visit/exploration by land and sea. First, we toured and explored the country by car with a private guide for five days before boarding a vessel and circumnavigating the ENTIRE country for the next nine days. To say that we explored and visited every part of this incredible destination is truly an understatement.

Have you ever been to a destination that truly becomes part of your soul? That is what happened to me many, many years ago when I visited Italy for the first time. And, to this day, no other destination in this world has created in me such passion, interest, and enthusiasm as I continue to be immersed in its culture, history, people, towns and villages that make this country shine. Whether I'm viewing world-class art or taking a cooking class, I always come away with a renewed appreciation for this diverse and exciting destination.

In my 40-year career as a travel professional, no destination has captured my attention and passion as has Scotland! For my most recent trip, my travels began in Edinburgh, then to Loch Ness to stay in the Aldourie Castle and Loch Torridon Hotel. Next, on to Inverness and Glasgow, with a few more incredible days spent in Fife before exploring historic and famous St. Andrews.

In addition to enjoying first-hand experiences, I’ve researched and studied everything that I can about Scotland: The history, culture, enchanting cities, ancient sites, the lifestyles, mysterious lochs, as well as much enticing background about Scotland’s famous castles.

My deep love and appreciation for the United Kingdom – and England specifically – developed over many years of consuming copious amounts of British entertainment, teaching high school students British literature and experiencing the destination myself many times and for numerous visits. I have thoroughly toured and experienced London, as well as the many other delightful and different areas, including Dover, the Cotswolds, the Peak District, Northumberland, and East Anglia.

Someone said Italy was a passion, I call it an obsession. Traveling to Italy at least twice a year for the last 12 years has truly made me an addict. In addition to trying to explore every corner of Italy, I am an Israel specialist as well. Born in Israel but with an Italian heart, I love to share my insights, knowledge, and experiences in these two countries. From enjoying the "hip and trendy" Tel Aviv to experiencing the North region where you'll drive through Arab villages and see - first-hand - how the Jews and the Arabs live together. Take a jeep excursion with the head of security at a Kibbutz who will take you on a journey where you will meet with Israeli soldiers on active duty. From skiing in the Dolomites to sunbathing in Puglia, the passion I feel for Italy comes out with each conversation.

Twenty years ago, I had the fortunate opportunity to join a group of travel writers for a tour of Spain... and the rest is history! I fell in love with this country and all that it offered. Over the past two decades, I've continued my education of the Spanish culture and lifestyle through Tourism Spain's online classes, plus escorted many of my clients on vacations through the country's different regions. With each excursion, I continue to learn more and more about Spanish culture, food, people, history and attractions, so I can share even more passion and knowledge with you when we plan your upcoming vacation! I know and understand that travel is highly-personal and individualized, and I take pride in taking the time to get to know you, your personal interests, your ideas for what you want to see, do and experience.

I'd like to share my passion for the country of Croatia and my expertise as a member of the Court of Master Sommeliers, and a Level 3 Sommelier with the Wine & Spirits Education Trust in London.

Croatia is a dynamic destination, steeped in history, culture, food, wine, incredible people, beautiful beaches, gorgeous parks and countryside, plus showcases an amazing range of experiences waiting to be discovered. Next, Wine & Culinary. There is a special synergy between Travel and Wine - an appreciation of the unique history, geography and people that create a great wine is just like uncovering all the dynamic experiences awaiting you in a new destination.

I'm a native of France, fortunate to have lived and worked in this magnificent country for 25 years, and I return here at least twice a year to visit family and friends. I can honestly say: Je connais la France! I know France! As an established travel professional planning your trip, my desire is for you to know and love this wonderful destination (almost) as much as I do. This is my passion. When I visit France, I inspect hotel and resort properties, check out new restaurants and local attractions, take tours, and make sure that I remain current on politics, fashion, shopping and French dining. Each region is very different from another and I have spent considerable time exploring and learning about each one, so that I can share my first-hand knowledge with you. As a French native, with a background in the arts, I have an "insider's" familiarity with my country and how best to enjoy it.

I'm a destination specialist with over 40 years' extensive experience, specifically in two diverse and unique destinations: Iceland and Turks & Caicos. Let's begin with Iceland - a Nordic island- country situated between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean, which is on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between North America and Europe. To say that I've experienced and enjoyed the best of Iceland is an understatement. What an amazing destination! While there, I drove the Golden Circle (a popular 190-mile tourist route in southern Iceland looping from Reykjavik into the southern uplands of Iceland and back.) In addition, I explored the bridge between two continents, went swimming in the Blue Lagoon, rented a boat to visit the Puffins, and even went to the Lava caves. As you can see, I love adventure! I'm a "Game of Throner" and made sure I explored Revkjavik in the best possible way, including dining at a tomato restaurant called Friðheima. When we speak, I will share with you this incredible experience of eating

Portugal truly feels like my second home. My husband is Portuguese, and we're fortunate to spend about 6 weeks every year here so that I can continue to learn about, explore, and visit everything that is new and exciting to share with you -- my valued clients. Prior to my opening my own travel agency in 2013, I worked for a major cruise line for eight years, and I was fortunate to learn about and explore Lisbon many times as it was a port of call, as were Madeira and the Azores for Atlantic crossing itineraries. I'm also fortunate that my husband's family who live in the very small village of Fiais -near the Atlantic coast - has prompted me to not only learn more about authentic, off-the-beaten-path regions of the country, but to learn the language as well.

As a Destination Specialist, my favorite destinations are Scotland and the United Kingdom. My love and appreciation for the UK and Scotland began as a young girl traveling to England and Scotland with my family. Always eager to learn, I carried books about Scotland to help plan our family's time when visiting. As an adult, I would venture back to the UK and Scotland often while on corporate business trips, so that I could continue to learn, understand, and appreciate this intriguing culture and history - even more so as an adult.

Visits to Germany and South Africa are always the highlights of the year. My love and enthusiasm for these destinations is limitless. As a thoughtful listener, I will carefully note your preferences and propose offerings best suited to your personal interests. My knowledge is broad and my attention to details is high - from art museums and concert halls to safari lodges and village visits; from Michelin-starred restaurants and regional cuisine to high-design hopping and procuring ethnic crafts. Upcoming travel plans include touring the less-visited northern regions of Germany, and in South Africa - exploring the famed Garden Route and the wonderful safari lodges of the Eastern Cape. I look forward to sharing my personal connection to each country with you and to collaborating to create your unique itinerary.

Vive la France! My passion for France blossomed while living here in college, pursuing my love of the French language and art history. During that time, I became enamored with their culture, history and the French way of life. Not only do I speak fluent French and am certified as a French Destination Specialist, but I continue to visit extensively, always learning something new. Since France's efficient rail system connects Paris to unforgettable beaches, chateaux, vineyards, ski resorts and old quaint hilltop villages within hours, I have enjoyed the nuances of language, cuisine and perspective throughout France and encourage my clients to do the same. My insatiable appetite to explore Paris and the country's many regions only enhances my experience and confidence to curate creative itineraries. I love sharing my passion for all things French!

My first trip to Greece was a cruise in the early 80's. Since I have spent the years immersing myself in exploring this incredible country. My time was spent both on the mainland and the islands. It's important to me that my clients get to see and feel the beauty of this country. Having one of the oldest and most influential histories of both the ancient and modern world provides visitors with a never-ending number of sites, and museums, as well as the opportunity to check 5 of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World off their bucket lists. When planning with my clients, I focus on the client's level of interests. Choose the ever-popular beauty of the Caldera of Santorini or the whitewashed, blue top buildings and lively beaches of Mykonos. or the lesser traveled Islands that offer smaller crowds and insight into the traditional Greek culture.

As a highly experienced, knowledgeable travel advisor, I am an expert for my two favorite destinations in the world: Croatia and The Galapagos.

First, Croatia. We can start in the historic city of Dubrovnik, spend time in Split, cruise through the Dalmatian Islands, spend a few days hiking and enjoying the luxury of an incredible villa in Plitvice Lakes and Falls National Park, and consider crossing the border for a sightseeing adventure in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I'll also recommend and arrange for you an excursion to Mljet National Park and a boat trip to St. Mary's Island. The highlight of your visit here will be a beautiful, emerald, green salt lake... so dive in!

Next, let's go halfway around the world to the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. Would you be excited to watch sea lions bask in the warm sun on an orange-sandy beach? Or witness a mother sea lion call to her cub from down the beach, as he comes running back to her?

Italy is one of the world's most intriguing and compelling destinations. Yet many visitors only see the must-see cities, attractions and popular sites - and don't get to experience the authentic local Italian lifestyle and culture because they didn't have an expert to help them plan their journey. That's where I come in. What sets me apart is not only my extensive and thorough knowledge of the destination itself, but my long-standing relationships with local Italian travel industry experts who constantly share with me information about new hotels, special sites, restaurants, events, festivals and activities that will ensure that not only will this be your best trip ever - it will be the start of many, many return visits.

I've been in the travel business for many years. And when asked my favorite destination in the world, I always answer SCOTLAND! The history, the natural beauty of the countryside, the castles especially Inveraray and Edinburgh, and the great food - including fresh seafood, Scottish favorites such haggis, bangers, and mash; plus, the true Scottish dessert - shortbread. Other reasons you'll love Scotland is the opportunity to self-drive, island-hop from island to island (an amazing opportunity); tour famous, historic cities such as Edinburgh and in Glasgow where you can spend time in the West End known for quaint shops and lots of parks, and the opportunity to view the magnificent art and architecture of the Victorian era. There is more to see and do for both Harry Potter fans and Outlander, and for those who hope to see the mystical monster Nessie when you stop at Loch Ness.

My passion for this compelling and beautiful country began right out of college as I was employed with the San Francisco branch of the Italian Government Travel Office (ENIT.) My job description was to promote tourism to Italy and over half of my work was devoted to arranging and booking personalized travel to Italy and other parts of Europe. Of course, the fact that I'm an Italian American (half Lucchese and half Sicilian) and that I minored in Italian language and culture in college has only piqued my interest in learning as much as possible about this destination! Over the years I've lost track of how many visits to Italy I've made. I have gained so much knowledge and experience and want to share it all with you.

My passion began when I had the good fortune to work here, as I was based in a small town outside Rome. Needless to say, I traveled extensively every weekend and on vacations to learn and experience as much as possible. Since returning home to the U.S., my passion and enthusiasm only continues to grow. I can't wait to get back every year and get updated on all that's new and exciting since my last visit. In addition to my expertise in planning individual custom itineraries, I have extensive experience in leading groups to Italy and have planned and implemented itineraries for faith-based, multi-generational, wine and general art/cultural-focused groups. I can recommend such enticing experiences as adding a concert to your itinerary, a chance to drive Ferraris in the hills around Florence, arranging an after-hours tour of a famous attraction, or a personal shopping experience. In fact my native Italian friends tell me "I've seen more of Italy than they have!"

I've been traveling to Ireland since I was a child. It's in my blood, and I've held strong connections to this magical country my entire life. What makes my expertise unique is how I have experienced this destination in so many different ways - from enjoying visits with family, experiencing the sights and attractions on an escorted group tour, and most recently performing as a member of my church choir in many of Ireland's historic cathedrals. I love using these experiences to create one-of-a-kind itineraries that focus on the off-the-beaten-path sights, attractions and activities that the guidebooks won't tell you about. My goal is to plan and implement an itinerary that literally "comes alive" for you and is exciting from start to finish.

Spain is my passion! I am fascinated with the culture, the people, the language and the lifestyle. I've been traveling to Spain for the last 20 years with my husband (a high school Spanish teacher who coordinates an annual student exchange program to Spain.) I've enhanced my expertise and knowledge of this marvelous destination. I've established and maintained very strong relationships with local colleagues who, not only keep me up-to-date on what's happening locally and within the country, but who have VIP access to many public events and venues. As such, I can get you the best seats at Flamenco shows, tickets to Real Madrid and Barcelona futbol games, and reservations at the best restaurants. And...VIP access to bull fights in Madrid. I will customize an itinerary that allows you to "Travel Like a Local" based on my personal travel experiences and connections.

My expertise spans two very diverse - albeit enchanting and exciting - destinations! The UNITED KINGDOM and HAWAII. My knowledge has been meticulously assembled by frequently exploring each destination in-depth and finding new hidden gems each time I visit. I also focus on maintaining a portfolio of favorite bespoke hotels, lodges and residences along the way, taking note of the unique qualities of each one and how they might appeal to my travelers. In addition to the tools at my disposal, I nurture a network of local contacts in both destinations to keep me apprised of new lodging, restaurants and attractions that open, as well as upcoming festivals and events. All these assets combined enable me to design travel plans that are tailored exactly to the wishes and priorities of each client.

I am so excited to hold two specialist designations for France and Honeymoon & Romance Travel while they work well together, they are equally fabulous on their own! My "Aha Moment" was almost three decades ago when I was in Paris for the first time, and I knew right then - looking at the Eiffel Tower - I wanted to be a travel advisor and create custom experiences that helped bring this feeling to life for people. That trip is when I fell in love with France, and it has never waned, only grown stronger with time and more visits.

Creating authentic experiences in the country of Greece for my clients is truly a labor of love. Greece is a country for the ages but with todays' modern spin. It truly has it all. From the iconic breathtaking views of the islands like Santorini, to Crete's breadbasket of foods and olive oil, every inch of this country eats and breaths history. Greece is a dynamic destination offering something for everyone at any age.

I'm a family-focused travel advisor who shares a passion for two world-class, amazing destinations: United Kingdom, and California.

We'll start in the UK. I have extensive, first-hand knowledge about many UK venues and I'm eager to share my passion for the UK by creating highly-personalized itineraries. I am a certified Brit Agent, and family focused, as many of my excursions back and forth across the pond have been with my son in tow. As such, I've also experienced many of these destinations as a traveling mom, and know what attractions, restaurants, accommodations, etc. will appeal and be appropriate for families with children (e.g., a Harry Potter-focused adventure in London.)

Next, we'll come back home to California. So much more than Hollywood, the beaches, and Disneyland, California showcases charming, small towns; deserts, mountains, excellent food and wine, hiking, biking, great golf and that's just the beginning of all that this destination offers
