About Me

European, Antarctic and Caribbean Specialist

Travel has been a passion of mine since childhood, and I’m always planning for the next adventure. I’ve been fortunate to explore over half of the United States, much of Europe, and all seven continents. From summiting Mount Kilimanjaro and hiking the Inca Trail into Machu Picchu, to watching leopard seals chase penguins along the Antarctic Peninsula and receiving a traditional Balinese water blessing in Indonesia, my journeys have shown me the world’s incredible people, nature, culture, and diversity. These experiences not only fuel my passion for exploration but also allow me to bring authentic insight, inspiration, and creativity to the unique journeys I design for my clients. Whether that’s a relaxing beach escape or an immersive cultural adventure, I want to turn your dream vacation into reality.

Budapest, where history meets hot springs.
I first visited Budapest as a college student in the late ’90s. At the time, communism had ended less than a decade earlier, and it was clear the country was still in the early stages of rebuilding. Fast forward 25+ years, and returning to this beautiful city was nothing short of incredible. The ...Read More ▶

Caroline Nolan made this trip!!
Reviewed By David S. - Las Vegas, NV | Traveled to Whistler ~ British Columbia ~ Canada
Caroline's attention to detail is second to none. I don't know how I have been traveling for most of my life without her help. From free room upgrades to having someone with a sign with my name on it waiting for me as I exited the airport, this was hands down the easiest and best travel experience I have ever had. Caroline was always available when I had questions, which was not too often because her emails were so detailed, she answered my questions before I even knew what to ask for. She is clearly an expert in her field, and is what makes the difference between a good trip and a truly exceptional one. I don't settle for second best, and that's why I will always use Caroline when booking anything in the future. She just makes my life easier and better. And that's a commodity I do not take for granted!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best Honeymoon!
Reviewed By Cole H - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Greece | Europe
We could not give Caroline a higher recommendation. This is the second “major” trip she has planned for us, and both were a near flawless experience. She has never steered us wrong. On both trips I had my mind made up on certain things going into the planning but she convinced me otherwise and I am so glad she did. Caroline really did know best and at the end of each trip we were so glad we made the changes she suggested as they made for a much better overall experience. She is responsive and extremely helpful before, during, and after the trip. There is no doubt we will continue to use her for all our future travel planning needs. We can’t thank her enough for all the help she has been.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Magnificent travel agent
Reviewed By Sandra H. - Clyde Hill, WA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Caroline was exactly who our group of 6 needed as we planned our trip to Italy. I came to her with an outline of where we wanted to go and the dates we wanted to go, and after some consultation back and forth she really helped me and our group get a spectacular itinerary together. She had some very thoughtful insights about the benefit of staying in one place for a few nights rather than our original thought of a new city and hotel each night. Her lodging choices were lovely and the excursions she planned for us were so enjoyable. Her knowledge of the region and the novel ideas of how to take in the cities resulted in an unforgettable trip. I also enjoyed working with her throughout the process. All six of us are looking forward to working with Caroline on future trips, whether it is the group of us or just traveling as couples. She is magnificent!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wonderful Trip To Scotland
Reviewed By Austin S. - Everett, Wa | Traveled to Scotland | Europe
Caroline planned an absolutely wonderful trip for myself and my fiancee in Scotland. We had never travelled internationally like this before and she made it absolutely seamless and all we needed to do was show up. When issues arose with certain venues closing on the planned visitation days, or changes to our flights, or anything at all she was incredibly responsive and gave us confidence that we would be able to get a resolution to whatever we encountered. We will absolutely use her services again as we plan other trips because of how much we loved this one, and how much she showcased her talents with finding great locations to stay and things to do.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Great Spring Break in Barcelona
Reviewed By Jeremy B. - Westport, Connecticut | Traveled to Barcelona | Spain | Europe
We had such a wonderful trip and truly appreciated how thoughtfully everything was planned. The highlights for us were the awe inspiring Sagrada Família, our day trip to Girona, and of course the incredible food and wine throughout. We especially loved having an itinerary that gave us structure during the day while still allowing us to slow down in the evenings and enjoy a great dinner each night. The pacing felt just right, and your plan made it easy to see the major highlights of Barcelona over five plus days, along with two fantastic day excursions. All of the tour guides were excellent and added so much to the experience. Our hotel was also ideally located, which made getting around very easy and enjoyable. We were happy that the hotel was not near the beach! Thank you again for planning such a memorable trip for us.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
