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.

From Salzburg to London – A Memorable Vacation
Reviewed By Michele - Holland, PA | Traveled to Europe
My late husband found Lynn when we went on a Viking cruise on the Rhine back in 2017. Lynn took care of every little detail and helped us navigate who we needed to contact to travel with 8L of fluids, as my husband was sick at that time. Fast forward a bit; I had contacted Lynn at the end of 2024 because I wanted to take my kids to Europe as a vacation/graduation gift for my daughter. Our trip was scheduled for 2026. She was so patient and helped us narrow down exactly where we wanted to go. She handled every detail, such as providing transportation to/from the airport and hotels, scheduling various activities (like a cooking class, which we all loved), setting up tours, and checking in with us during the trip to make sure everything was running smoothly. The trip went seamlessly from landing in Salzburg, Austria, to taking a train to Munich, Germany, and then flying to our final leg in London, England. I highly recommend Lynn for your travel plans. She is so easy to work with and makes sure all of your ideas come true in a perfect vacation. Little does Lynn know that I may be calling her again about a possible cruise in 2027.

Perfect Logistics and Attention to Detail
Reviewed By MEB - Philadelphia, PA | Traveled to England | Europe
Lynn orchestrated my April 2026 3-week trip to England. Among other destinations, she suggested I visit Guernsey in the Channel Islands. It was a brilliant idea as the island is charming, the people are friendly, and there are many fascinating sights to visit. This was the first trip I was taking solo as I typically travel with groups. Lynn's itinerary and advice made the train and plane travel smooth and worry-free. So glad I had Lynn to plan and guide me through this adventure.

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.
