About Me

The culture and cuisine in Europe is simply amazing! You simply must dive right in when traveling to Europe and immerse yourself in the local culture. Stop at the local cafe and ask for their speciality dish. Roam the markets and buy souvenirs to take home.

There are so many ways to experience Europe by land (coach), river, or sea. It can be difficult to decide what is best for you. That is where I come in. I can help design the perfect itinerary for your European adventure.

I have been on multiple River cruises. I love the intimacy on board the ships and the fact that you are taken right into the city. You have the luxury of unpacking once and stopping in multiple destinations. Many of the destinations tend to be a bit less touristy than what you would see on an ocean cruise. You can't go wrong with Viking, Avalon or AmaWaterways. They all provide unique experiences and itineraries. I personally love the tulip time itineraries and the Christmas Markets are a treat!

Together you will find the best fit for you.

We let Samantha know our budget, dates and where we wanted to go and she planned a beautiful trip to Maui for us! I am so glad we had Samantha help with the planning and booking of our trip.

Best Hawaii Vacation!
Reviewed By Dana - Alpha, IL | Traveled to Oahu Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Samantha was a great person to work with. Her knowledge of Hawaii and how to get around was most helpful to these first-time Hawaii travelers! She was easy to work with and responded quickly and professionally to all of our questions. She coordinated our flights, transportation to and from the airport, the hotel, and the Pearl Harbor tour...we so appreciated her time in putting our trip together!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
