Custom Europe, Cruises & Group Travel Expert

A Paris Moment, Unrushed

I am the founder of Go Vacay Your Way, a boutique travel planning firm based in Charlotte, North Carolina, designing thoughtful, well-paced, and experience-driven travel for curious travelers who value comfort, access, and meaningful time on the ground.I specialize in custom Europe travel, experiential journeys, cruises, river cruises, and curated small-group travel. My clients include seasoned travelers, active retirees, families, couples, and affinity groups seeking deeper cultural connections and seamless, highly personalized planning.

Travel is deeply personal, and I believe the best itineraries are built through conversation, not templates. Every journey begins with listening, learning how my clients travel, what inspires them, and what memories they want to create. From there, I design custom itineraries that balance iconic highlights with hidden gems, immersive cultural experiences, and unhurried pacing.

My goal is always to create journeys that feel intentional, effortless, and deeply rewarding.Through Travel Leaders Network, I offer my clients access to exclusive amenities, preferred partnerships, trusted destination experts, and behind-the-scenes support that elevate every trip, whether it is a multi-country European adventure, an Alaska land and cruise journey, a luxury river cruise, or a once-in-a-lifetime heritage experience.In addition to individual travel design, I curate custom small-group journeys and private group travel for alumni groups, professional organizations, families, social circles, and special-interest travelers. These trips combine immersive experiences, meaningful connections, and carefully selected accommodations, designed to feel personal, not packaged.I focus on depth over speed, experience over checklists, and connection over crowds.

My planning style emphasizes walkable locations, scenic routes, authentic cuisine, cultural storytelling, and intentional pacing, allowing travelers to truly experience a destination rather than simply visit it.Most journeys begin with a simple conversation and evolve into unforgettable stories.
