Europe, the UK & Ireland; History Meets the Heart

Parliament Square, London

From the misty moors of Scotland to the sun-kissed coasts of Portugal and Spain (I nearly made a life in Santillana Del Mar!), I've grown up, found myself, and delighted in the ordinary and the extraordinary. I know the charm of Liverpool beyond the Beatles, the hum of London's markets, and the golden light dappling Tuscany at dusk. Let me help you know the scent of Irish rain on mossy old stone walls and the mythological paths leading you through the gorgeous Greek Isles. The spice-scented air of Istanbul, that beautiful crossroads where Europe and Asia meet, unfolds within you like an old story, and the wild beauty of Iceland's diverse geography and charming people inspires our ancient wild side...The old world's histories and quiet charms await you in Dubvronik and Prague, and in Germany's Black Forest and Vienna - such an unexpected favorite city! Of course the common favorites include Italy and France (personal favorites!), but don't forget that the Swiss Alps will take your breath away, the unreal, endless tulips outside iconic Amsterdam, and the powerful Viking countries -- I've left out so much. I don't just know most of these places, I have *felt* them. Whether it is tracing your ancestry through Ireland or Germany, sipping espresso in a tucked-away Venetian piazza, or road-tripping through the Basque hills, I can help you craft journeys that will feel deeply personal, immersive, and unforgettable. From hostels to 3 Michelin starred Akelarre, we will find what suits you best, together. Let's begin the next Dream!
