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 have always been drawn to the culture, unspoiled beauty, and varied landscape of Iceland - and definitely, this is a destination that I recommend one take their time visiting. I recently traveled to Iceland for a 4-night solo adventure. I stayed in Reykjavik and used that as my home base for exploring the country. As an independent female traveler, I felt very safe when venturing out at any hour, day or night. I was able to connect with locals, enjoyed guided tours and the opportunity to explore on my own. Everyone was warm and welcoming. Iceland is at the top of adventure travel bucket lists, for good reason: Hiking trails, geothermal springs and other unique worldly landscapes are plentiful. I had the great fortune to see Pingvellir National Park, the Gulfoss waterfall, Skogafoss waterfall and the Frioheimar greenhouse - first- hand. The cherry on the top of my fabulous vacation was a dip in the famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. Definitely a "must do"!

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.

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.

Scotland is the home of my soul. I realize that statement might seem a bit odd, but it truly expresses and defines my love for this country. For over twenty years, I’ve worked hard exploring, experiencing, and learning about this amazing country. With every visit, I tour hotel/resort properties, establish and maintain essential local contacts, learn about new tours and attractions, interview and hire private guides to lead tours and excursions, visit new restaurants and local eateries, and personally experience a variety of transportation options – from trains, ferries, and buses, to hiring a private car and driver.

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.

There are many places that I love to discover, visit, and explore, but there are just three areas in the world where I truly dedicate my long-time experience and expertise: Croatia (I was born, reared and currently reside here), Morocco (now considered my "second home"), and... my states-side home and office location: Boca Raton, Florida.
First:
Croatia and
Morocco.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
