We’ll start with the UK. With my extensive experience and expertise, I’ve escorted numerous custom-crafted group itineraries to world-class destinations throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Island. Within the UK, we can further customize your itinerary to experience such enticing options as Edinburgh, gems of The Cotswolds, Newcastle, Kent, Aberdeen, Kyle of Lochalsh, Glencoe, Rosslyn, and Port Isaac.

Next, an Icelandic adventure! Options abound, such as a snow mobile adventure on the Langjökull Glacier, snorkeling in bubbling hot springs, experiencing the thermal, healing waters of the Blue Lagoon, or having the unique opportunity to be photographed with imposing trolls as you enjoy a private, guided walking tour of Reykjavik.

Now… let’s head back to the USA and down south to the “Big Easy”. To say that New Orleans is a singularly-unique destination in the U.S… is truly an understatement.

The United Kingdom of England, Ireland, and Scotland (UK) is a world-class destination filled with a storied history, warm and friendly locals and amazing vistas and is the perfect venue for your upcoming travel - whether romantic, adventure, or family exploration. Not only am I a Specialist for the UK, but I am a Romance Travel Expert as well.

Having lived in the United Kingdom for many years, and now continuing to visit on a regular basis I have the enviable opportunity of touring extensively, experiencing the country life, delving into my passion for culture, romance, and history, and indulging my curiosity for just about everything the UK showcases. This destination is a perfect choice for your honeymoon, anniversary, or destination wedding. The world class hotels of London are less than 8 hours from the wilds of the Scottish Highlands and a quick ferry ride lands you in the magical land of Ireland!

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.

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?

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. First Croatia. I enjoy helping savvy, discerning travelers discover the best every destination has to offer. It brings me great joy to share my knowledge and expertise with you as we work together, creating authentic experiences. 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. As owner of my own global travel agency and int'l wine store, I specialize in custom designed itineraries.

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.)

As a highly-experienced Travel Advisor, I'm passionate about Scotland, Ireland and my hometown San Diego, CA.

Scotland reveals itself in its stillness, weather and heroic landscapes. Allow me to customize your personal itinerary for the region with special access to castles, historic golf courses and private whisky distilleries. I specialize in secret experiences you cannot book yourself.

Ireland's captivating charm reveals itself layer by layer. It is the ultimate blend of city and country. A trip to the Irish capital and the rural coastal areas just beyond it offers a fascinating combination of dynamic cityscape and restorative time at beautiful countryside hotels and castle properties that brim with old world charm.

California and my hometown of San Diego. With over 70 miles of pristine beaches and coastal views, San Diego is not only a beach-lover's paradise, this dynamic destination boasts a dazzling array of attractions.

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.

Next, we'll come back across the Atlantic and head to the beautiful western state of Utah. Adventures await!

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.

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.

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.

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.
