About Me

My Son Ruins, Vietnam
My Son Ruins, Vietnam

I help curious, active, often mature travelers explore the world through river cruising, soft adventure, and meaningful, low-impact travel. My clients often seek experiences that go beyond the surface — cultural connection, nature, comfort, and a sense of discovery.

Before launching my travel business in 2019, I spent decades in hospitality and sales, building a career around great service and personal connection. I’ve lived in Europe, sailed the Mediterranean, trekked through the Amazon, and explored ancient temple ruins in Vietnam. Later in life, I returned to school to earn degrees in Environmental Studies and Sustainability — a choice that deepened my commitment to thoughtful, low-impact travel. These experiences shape the way I design travel — with insight, empathy, and an eye for the extraordinary.

My specialties include:

  • River cruises in Europe (France, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands & more)
  • Soft adventure & cultural immersion (Peru, Ecuador, Vietnam, and beyond)
  • Personalized itineraries for solo travelers, couples & multi-generational families
  • Nature-based travel with sustainability in mind

I work with travelers who want more than a vacation — they want stories to bring home lasting memories.

I'm proud to be part of a trusted host agency and a leading travel consortium, giving my clients access to top-rated suppliers like AmaWaterways, Avalon Waterways, Intrepid Travel, and G Adventures, who help me to offer exclusive perks and support.

I’ve participated in AdventureNEXT Latin America in Ecuador and attended an ASTA River Cruise Expo, where I connected directly with nine river cruise lines and a canal barge company. These opportunities — along with ongoing webinars, conferences, and industry trainings — have given me a deep, firsthand understanding of the travel landscape and the suppliers I recommend.

Why travelers choose me:

  • Real travel experience — not just what’s in the brochures
  • Personal attention, creative ideas & boutique-level care
  • A respectful, low-impact approach to people, culture & place
  • Support before, during, and after every trip

If you're dreaming of a river cruise, a journey into nature, or a custom trip built around your pace and passions — I’d love to help you plan it.

Europe-Spring2025
Reviewed By Linda J - Massachusetts | Traveled to Europe
Nancy was instrumental in setting up our trip to Europe for May 2025. We flew to London and had wonderful lodging prior to getting on the Cunard cruise through Spain and landed in Rome. She then set up our additional trip to Sardinia. It was a pleasure working with Nancy.
Nancy Wells responded
"It was such a pleasure working with you and your family Linda. It's always fun to learn about another new area and Sardinia was one of those. Your feedback will be useful to other clients I will book to this area in the future. I hope you will keep me in mind should you ever again need any travel services. Happy Travels. Nancy"

Our Big Greek Vacation
Reviewed By Mama Mia - Hull ma | Traveled to Greece | Europe
We had a fabulous family vacation in Greece. Nancy assisted us with obtaining a good price on airfare and a beautiful apartment in Athens. I also did some planning on my own , however, it was very valuable to have Nancy’s expertise. She was always professional and responsive to my many questions along the way.
Nancy Wells responded
"Hi Monica, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. I’m so glad to hear your family had a fabulous time in Greece! It was a pleasure helping you bring the pieces together, and I’m happy my support added value along the way. If another adventure starts calling—whether across the globe or a little closer to home—I’d love to help you plan it. Warmest wishes, Nancy"

One of the warmest days of my entire Vietnam trip turned out to be hot for more than one reason.We started early, boarding a small bus to visit My Son Sanctuary, a hauntingly beautiful complex of ancient Hindu temples set deep in the jungle. Built around the same time as Angkor Wat in neighboring Cambodia, these temples once stood as...
