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

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.

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.

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.

As a native of Sweden, I look forward to going back "home" as often as possible and spending as much time as possible learning about everything new since my last visit. I grew up learning the languages of the three countries that comprise Scandinavia (Sweden, Denmark, and Norway,) was educated here, and worked in both the tourism and airline industry prior to moving to the States. What sets me apart as an experienced and knowledgeable destination specialist for Scandinavia is that I maintain strong contacts locally and am constantly updated on new attractions, hotels, events, festivals, and other activities that would be of great interest to visitors to this beautiful part of our world.

My love for the United Kingdom - literally - runs through my blood. My mother was born and reared in Wales and I'm fortunate to have many relatives throughout the region. Over the years - and starting at the age of 8 - I traveled many times to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

Together, as we work to plan your upcoming adventure across the pond, I will share with you the best castles to visit and why, the proper way to order food and drink at a pub, where to purchase missing travel necessities at a reasonable cost, what to buy for that special someone back home and...where to have the best high-tea experience in London. My unique perspective on the UK ensures that you - my valued client - enjoy an "insider's" view of this dynamic destination and ALL that it offers.

Next, I make sure I learn something new on every trip, and at the same time, continue to build and maintain solid professional relations with my colleagues on the ground. I know France and I know how to creatively design and implement an itinerary that will match - and exceed your every expectation.

I look forward to sharing with you just what sets France apart from all other countries.

I love this country! I love everything about French culinary experiences, local village market days, French artisan shops, fine vineyards and of course... stunning French chateaus. To make your visit here especially grand, I recommend a visit to the Left Bank where Hemingway and Fitzgerald frequented Harry's Bar. I've been traveling here for twenty years and with each return visit, I learn, explore and become more thoroughly immersed in the culture - making each visit a truly unique experience.

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

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.

As an experienced and knowledgeable travel advisor who has been fortunate to experience and explore much of our world, there are two destinations that are my very favorites: Italy and my home state of Utah. I look forward to sharing both with you.

To say that I'm passionate about Italy and all things Italian is truly an understatement! I've lived here and am fluent in Italian. I cook Italian, and I certainly eat Italian. I've studied all aspects of their enviable lifestyle, culture, cuisine, and accommodations, as well as experienced exciting and unique things to see and do. Whether this will be your first - or 21st - visit to Italy; whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or part of multi-generational family group, I have the expertise to craft your itinerary to ensure that I not only meet -but exceed - your every expectation.

I visit hotels and resorts seeking the finest accommodations. I stop at popular local restaurants to sample the cuisine.

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.

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.

First: Croatia and Morocco. I look forward to sharing my insider tips and information that other travel professionals simply would not have - unless they've lived here, owned a home here, spoke the local language, and continually immersed oneself in the unique and diverse culture each of these two countries offer. And, now... I look forward to sharing my passion for and knowledge of these two special countries with you!

Next, we'll head back across the Atlantic to Florida, and specifically to Boca Raton.

I've been fortunate to have visited the Iberian Peninsula many times to explore and experience both Portugal and Spain. I'll share with you the best each of these world-class destinations offers.

First Portugal. On previous visits, I've explored and experienced on foot the ancient route of the Camino de Santiago beginning in Oporto. I've toured Portugal's most popular and important cities - including Lisbon, Sintra, Oporto, the Algarve and Alentejo region, and Evora. I'll share with you the Pousadas de Portugal - a chain of luxury, historical or traditional hotels - and we'll make your reservations to fit your interests and budget.

Next: Spain! I love this country, too. During the last 15 years, I've had the wonderful opportunity to visit, explore and experience this dynamic and diverse destination - at least 25 times! I am fluent in Spanish which has allowed me to explore in-depth almost every popular and major city, town and region.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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!

As an Independent Travel Consultant for almost 35 years and having traveled extensively throughout the world, it took only one visit and I knew I wanted to specialize in travel to Switzerland. Traveling here at least once a year, my goal is to discover new places and experiences to share with you. Although a small country, Switzerland is very diverse, and with each visit, I tour different hotel/resort properties; and visit attractions, restaurants and events to stay current on all this compelling destination offers. I've had the distinction of being Travel+Leisure Magazine's "A-List" Specialist for Switzerland for many years.

Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever explored, and I love it! Although I have not lived in Croatia for any extended time, I feel my experience of having lived in five other European countries, has given me an understanding of the European way of life. This is an asset when planning your sojourn. I have traveled here extensively, and the country appeals to me for many diverse and exciting reasons, especially the many opportunities for adventure travel.

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.
