About Me

As a travel agent professional for this Nordic destination, I can say that Norway is an incredibly beautiful country, full of stunning landscapes and breathtaking views. With thousands of miles of coastline and its majestic Fjords, this Scandinavian country provides an array of attractions for travelers.  Whether you love outdoor activities, cultural experiences, or just want to sit and enjoy some incredible views, Norway has something for everyone. From the vibrant cities of Oslo and Bergen to its picturesque fishing villages, Norway can only be described as amazing. The fjords of Norway are perhaps the biggest attraction of the country and are among the most impressive landscapes in the world. Surrounded by steep cliffs and towering mountains, Norway’s fjords offer magnificent views and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, and fishing. If you love to hike, I recommend the Jotunheimen National Park - a truly unforgettable experience. The colorful cities of Norway are another must-see attraction. Oslo is Norway’s colorful capital while Bergen is Norway’s second largest city. Its beautiful old buildings and a charming atmosphere is one you’ll want to continue to explore. I cannot talk about Norway without mentioning its unique culture.  From the traditional Sami people to the modern cafes of Oslo, Norway is a one-of-a-kind destination. Sample some of the traditional Norwegian cuisine, try a craft beer, and take in the stunning sights and sounds while you explore the countryside. It’s not surprising that adventure seekers love to travel to this cold yet warm destination. One of the sites you must see is Akershus Castle. Located in the heart of Oslo, it stands proudly on the edge of the Oslofjord, and is a great place to explore Norwegian history. Inside, you’ll find a museum, grand halls, and many fascinating artifacts. For an unforgettable view of the Norwegian coast, take a trip to Atlantic Ocean Road. This iconic roadway links a series of islands, and offers stunning and dramatic views of the sea and cliffs.  Along the route, you’ll explore charming towns, isolated beaches, and fishing enclaves.The majestic Pulpit Rock is another breathtaking attraction in Norway. This natural rock formation stands over 600 meters high, and offers magnificent views of Lysefjorden.  Hiking to the top of the rock is a popular activity, and is something that any adventurous traveler should add to their bucket list. I know this travel destination will exceed your expectations. Not only can you visit the world-famous Nordkapp (North Cape), you can experience the Auroras Borealist as well as the stunning Sognefjord. From trekking and mountain biking to wildlife spotting and fishing, each national park has a variety of activities to satisfy anyone who loves the outdoors.You can also take part in dog sledding, reindeer safaris, and snowmobiling activities. Did I mention that Bergen is a UNESCO World Heritage City - a great place to stay, given its museums and vibrant nightlife. Visit the Viking Museum in Oslo, ride the cable car up Fløyen mountain, trek atop some of the world’s largest glaciers, and catch the beautiful northern lights at night. It does not matter if you're looking for an adventure or simply to relax, you’ll find what you’re seeking when you travel to Norway. Imagine lush green mountains that meet crystal clear wears and incredible ice formation, such as the Svalbard Glacier. You can also visit the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo and the Northern Lights Museum in Tromsø. Take some to learn about the country's fascinating past.  Finally, Norway has some of the best skiing in the world. From the renowned slopes of Trysil to the energy-filled runs at Geilo, Norway offers both veteran skiers and newcomers fun and excitement.. With its incredible scenery and fresh powder, you’ll truly have an unforgettable skiing experience.  As your travel agent specialist for Norway, I am ready to assist you with your travel plans. Why not begin today? I look forward to planning your Norwegian holiday!

Wonderful experience
Reviewed By Susan Z - Seattle WA | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
John was very professional and always available. He gave me great information and was open and honest. He didn't try to sell me anything but gave me great advice. I really enjoyed working with John and we spoke recently and he is helping me plan our next trip. I found John on a google search for travel agents and he was rated 5 stars. I have passed John's name and contact information to a lot of my friends. I can't say enough about how professional and friendly he is. Thanks for everything!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Germany trip and Bayern Munich game
Reviewed By Daniel - San Francisco CA | Traveled to Germany ~ Europe
The travel services John provided for our 12 day trip from California to Germany were exceptional.



The purpose of the trip was to visit Germany for the first time and take my son to his first professional German soccer game in Munich to see Bayern Munich.



John arranged outstanding tickets for the soccer game, excellent hotel accommodations, transportation, and day trips to tour the sites we wanted to see. Service was impeccable.



Many thanks!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Thank you so much!
Reviewed By Brenda M - Fresno CA | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas ~ Baja California Sur ~ Mexico
John was amazing and so helpful. All we knew is we wanted to go somewhere on a beach that would be all inclusive. John was very patient and was a great listener and he sent us several options in different countries that we could choose from for our trip. Once we made our decision on our destination, John set everything up for us from start to finish. We cannot thank him enough for making our trip one of the most memorable vacations we have ever had.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
