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.

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!!!

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.

Incredible Family Trip To Italy
Reviewed By Amanda H. - Smithfield, VA | Traveled to Rome | Italy | Europe
I've thought hard about what I would have changed because I really thought about how we spent our money. Honestly, there isn't one thing I would change about how you planned our time and all the things we did. We found every tour to be valuable. In fact, I told my husband that I'm not sure we could have gotten through Vatican City on our own. It's made me appreciate the value of guided tours in a new way. Our guide at the Colosseum was wonderful and the other family left early so we got mostly a private tour. Also, we were pleasantly surprised to realize that you booked the climb at the tower of Pisa, because I didn't notice but I appreciate you took care of that detail. I would have been disappointed if we'd missed that part. The hotels you chose were all perfect for us. Overall, there is not one thing I would have changed, as it all worked for us. If the world were perfect, it would have been nice to have one more night in Venice, but I wouldn't have wanted to change what we did to make it happen. There really are no sufficient words to express my gratitude to you for how you helped us with this. I'm so, so thankful that I happened to stumble across you and your expertise and I realize how much of a blessing that is to me. I was pretty desperate and overwhelmed when I reached out. And I credit you with saving this significant vacation and making it what it was. I'm going to hang on to your contact for both referrals and future assistance. There is still lots of Europe to see!

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!

An A+ Trip Caroline!!! Thank you so much for the excellent planning. It really helped in making our trip exceptional. All accommodations were perfect. Well located and very nice. We especially loved the place in Kotor. The people there were so nice and it was just a fun place to stay.
