About Me

I grew up in Philadelphia and continue to live here today, and I fondly remember visiting my extended family in Hartford, CT, over the years. They all have Scottish ancestry, and I love connecting with our shared heritage through their stories and experiences.

I became very interested in my family’s history, and I began taking trips to Scotland, Ireland, and throughout the United Kingdom as often as possible. One time, my husband and I were walking through Kilbirnie on our final day in Scotland when we ran into some of my relatives downtown. We spent the entire day together, and I was able to get a picture of the house my grandmother grew up in which was simply amazing.

After years of booking my own trips, I decided to become a travel agent and help everyone explore the world. Today, I specialize in genealogical, cultural, and experiential travel to Scotland, Ireland, England, and beyond. I’m certified as a SCOTSagent, BRITagent, and Ireland Specialist which gives me the tools to help you dive into the local culture and get the most out of your experience. Whether you have a family history you want to reconnect with or are simply interested in these cultures, I’ll personalize your itinerary so you can have an informative and highly enjoyable vacation anywhere you go.

If you have ancestry abroad, I’ll help you retrace your family’s history so you can visit everything from their original hometowns and houses to significant places where weddings or other events took place. I want you to feel a strong connection to your destination, and I’ll do everything to make your trip unique along the way.

I recently booked for clients with Irish lineage, and I helped them visit many of the towns their ancestors were from. I then booked a ferry to Scotland that recreated the experience of how their family would have traveled many generations ago. Along with this, I found local restaurants that served traditional cuisine along with local fairs that provided a firsthand experience of the culture.

While I specialize in genealogical vacations, I’m also happy to book general getaways and cultural excursions as well. As your travel agent, I will:

  • Simplify the booking process
  • Make traveling easier than ever
  • Customize your itinerary
  • Provide 24/7 support and assistance
  • Provide unique recommendations based on your interests
  • And more!

Whether you wish to retrace your family’s history or simply want to enjoy a beautiful European vacation, I’m excited to book for you today!

London & Paris With Kids!
Reviewed By Wendi - Southampton, Pa | Traveled to London ~ England ~ Europe
Lynn helped me plan a trip for myself and my school age children to London, with three days in Paris via the Chunnel. It was my first time in London and, though cliche, I wanted it to be a trip of a lifetime. Lynn found the most perfect lodgings for us, and recommended several excursions that turned out to be amazing. From little things (Do I bring pounds with me, or get pounds once I'm in London?) to big things (Do I stay in an AirBNB? Hotel?), Lynn's advice and assistance were accurate and beyond perfect! Best of all, my children loved the trip, and loved Lynn for all that she did and recommended for us!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Superb trip celebrating our anniversary!
Reviewed By DeltaWK95 - Warner Robins, GA | Traveled to Scotland | Europe
Lynn was extremely helpful from Day 1. She offered suggestions on where to go based on our inputs. She hit the mark, perfectly. She answered all of our questions and ones she didn't know, she found out for us. She helped with timelines at each location stop. Lynn's planning and scheduling made our trip experience relaxing and fun! She took any anxiety away by her sound advice. When a couple of issues did arise, she jumped into action and resolved the issue or provided a work-around. She also ensured these issues would not be repeated. This trip included a cruise and a 2+ week follow on trip. Lynn made all transfer, train, car rental, and hotel reservations. Our final schedule was laid out in an easy to read as well as follow format. Payment was a very easy process. Outstanding job!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fabulous family vacation!
Reviewed By TheBrocks - Yardley, PA | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
Lynn planned a fabulous vacation for our family, offering excellent advice as we considered several cities in Europe. We ultimately decided upon Paris and London, and couldn't have been happier with the accommodations, transfers, and suggestions on sights and activities. Lynn kept in mind the ages of our daughters, budget, and time constraints, and was able to provide an itinerary that exceeded our expectations!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Unforgettable trip to London, Scotland & Irela
Reviewed By Abby & Joe - Massachusetts | Traveled to Europe
We took an incredible two-week trip to London, Scotland, and Ireland, all thanks to Lynn’s exceptional planning! She crafted an itinerary that perfectly aligned with our wish list, making sure we experienced everything we wanted, from iconic landmarks to hidden gems. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and our travel between each destination was seamless, leaving us free to enjoy the journey without having to worry.
We got to see the beautiful landmarks in London, the scenic highlands in Scotland, and the beauties of Ireland in just 2 short weeks without feeling like we had to miss out on anything we wanted to see.
Lynn went above and beyond every step of the way. She was always available for any questions or minor issues, both before, during & after our travels. Her support and expertise truly made this trip unforgettable, and we felt so well taken care of the entire time. We couldn’t recommend Lynn enough—she’s absolutely the best!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
