About Me

Luxury Travel & Germany Enthusiast

My knowledge and expertise, gained from many years in the travel industry, will make your vacation a dream come true. My love of travel is exemplified by visits to more than 50 countries in my 25-plus years as a travel agent. I am very passionate about Germany having visited countless times, living there on two different occasions and speaking fluent German. Anywhere you wish to travel in Germany, I am the person you will want to include in your travel planning! In addition to my vast knowledge of Europe, including being an Ireland and River Cruise Specialist, I also share a passion for the South Pacific. I have spent time in Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora and Fiji. As part of the Luxury Leaders Alliance, I have personally experiences 5-star accommodations, exotic destinations and checked many items off the bucket list that I never imagines I would. I have visited all 7 continents and over 60 countries. I would love to help you customize your itinerary to plan the vacation of your dreams.

Client Testimonials

Picture Perfect River Cruise
My husband and I would like to recognize and thank Danette for organizing and hosting a memorable and exciting river cruise on the Danube River. Danette's experience and keen interest in her job as a travel agent was apparent to us throughout, including the extra effort she put forth with so many added details to make our trip run smoothly. We were sent periodic e-mails about our upcoming trip, notably a list of suggestions a few months ahead and a book list, which we took advantage of by checking out at a local library. Questions were always welcomed, no matter how trivial. Right from the beginning, we could tell Danette was enthusiastic and that our satisfaction with our trip was her priority.
