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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

All these assets combined enable me to design travel plans that are tailored exactly to the wishes and priorities of each client.

I've been a travel advisor for over 9 years, and have had the incredible opportunity and privilege to share my most favorite destination - the United Kingdom - with many of my valued clients. Not only do I visit the countries within the UK on a regular basis, I lived in England for over 22 years. In fact, I have been obsessed with the UK since I was 13 years old when I saw my first Monty Python's Flying Circus episode. Having lived in the UK for a long time, I also know the "lay of the land" and am familiar with many interesting "out-of-the-way" places to visit. This knowledge, combined with maintaining a quality network of local contacts, ensures that I'm always up-to-date on everything that is new and happening.

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.

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.

As a long-time travel advisor and Destination Specialist for Italy and Turkey, I look forward to sharing with you the best of each destination. We'll start with Italy. Forever in my soul, and like my second home, Italy was my home for several years. I've toured and experienced - not only all the popular sights and sites - but as well unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences and sites that are lesser known, but just as beautiful and memorable.

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 first visited Austria and Germany as a junior in high school, and I was hooked. Now, many years and 30+ trips later, I've cultivated my expertise in these two countries - and not just the "tourist spots." As a long-time English professor prior to becoming a travel advisor, I knew that it was my job to educate my clients to all these destinations offer. Over the years, I've studied and learned the language, cultures, cuisines, people, local customs, and geographies so that now, I can share with you the very best of Austria and Germany. There's more than you can imagine.

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.

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 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.

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 knowledge of wine, food, music and extensive knowledge of Italy, allows me to plan an itinerary that is certain to surprise and delight you. And even more important, there is no doubt that your first trip will lead to many more Italian adventures!

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.

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.

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.

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.

That trip is when I fell in love with France, and it has never waned, only grown stronger with time and more visits.

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.

If you're eager for an adventure mushing sled dogs, staying in a hotel made from ice, chasing the northern lights, or experiencing a Scandinavian summer with 23 hours of daylight - this is your destination! Having family here and returning every year, I know where to go, how to make the best use of your time, and what experiences and opportunities will make the most memories for you.

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. 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'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 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 have two destination specialties: Germany and the United Kingdom. We'll start our journey in the UK. Having lived and traveled extensively in this compelling destination, I have a much greater knowledge and appreciation of this country, than had I just traveled here many times.

As a native Italian, I don't think there is a better way to share my love for my own country than through travel. I know our culture and lifestyle. I depend on my local Italian preferred suppliers on the ground to assist in planning your itinerary, and we converse in Italian to ensure nothing is lost in the translation. In addition, as a longtime US resident, I understand the expectations and needs of American travelers.
