About Me

Eiffel Tower in Paris - from Arrondissement 1
Eiffel Tower in Paris - from Arrondissement 1

"I haven't been everywhere but it's on my list". This is how I feel about Europe. I have always enjoyed learning about different places and different cultures. I love history and visiting new places where you can feel the history all around you. It's hard not to feel the history around you in Europe. From the architecture to the museums and memorials to the food, visiting Europe is an experience you won't soon forget!

One of my favorite things about Europe is that there is something for everyone! Whether you want to take the whole family on a multi-generational trip or go on a romantic getaway, my job as your travel advisor is to create the perfect itinerary for you. Whether you want a completely guided trip or more flexibility to explore some hidden gems, I know how to make it happen!

I listen to your wish list and find out what your ideal vacation looks like to make the best recommendations. I have personally traveled extensively in Europe too, and I'm happy to share my experiences to help your trip be more amazing!

There are many ways to vacation in Europe. Cruising is one example and there are itineraries throughout Europe to consider for your next cruise. For example, the Mediterranean and Greek Isles are one of the most popular choices for an ocean cruise. On the rivers, the Danube and Rhine Rivers have incredible views and quaint towns. I am here to help you find the best fit as far as cruise line too - weighing the pros and cons of each to make sure you have an enjoyable vacation experience! 

If you prefer a land vacation, the possibilities are endless. There are many guided tour options available. Fully escorted tours include your guide, admission to popular tourist attractions, and an itinerary with transportation between the different cities on the itinerary. 

I love creating customized itineraries too. This means I create & plan an itinerary based on your specific interests and include your accommodations, tours, dining experiences, and more.

From researching the best hidden gems to planning your daily itinerary or giving you insider tips, I work with you every step of the way. A European vacation is sure to result in lasting memories and I'd love to help you create them! 

From ocean and river cruising to guided group tours to individual customized itineraries for you and your loved ones, I'm here to make those European travel dreams a reality!

Portugal Trip
Reviewed By Bruno - Washington, Pennsylvania | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
We just got back from Portugal. Being honest it wasn't on my bucket list but my family and friends wanted to go so I agreed. What a beautiful country! The only thing I knew about Portugal with the Douro Valley wines. Kelly was so helpful making this one of our more memorable trips from arranging all the transportation to and from the airports and between cities. She had us stay in boutique hotels in Porto, Douro Valley and Lisbon. The people are friendly and the food is incredible. All the day trips she had booked for us were wonderful especially the Food Tasting Tour with Diogo in Porto, the winery tours with Andrea in Douro Valley and the Fado Dinner in Lisbon with Natalie. Kelly worked with us tweaking our itinerary and everything went off like clockwork. I highly recommend using Kelly for next European Vacation!

My Italy Dreams Came True
Reviewed By AliJane - Dallas, TX | Traveled to Italy | Europe
I will forever be thankful that I was introduced to Kelly on the Underline That podcast with my friend Stephanie. I knew from my initial phone call with Kelly that she was the perfect person to trust with planning this trip of a lifetime that I'd been dreaming about for years to Rome and The Amalfi Coast. Kelly is an incredible listener, and she took everything we spoke about down to small details into all the incredible aspects of this trip. Not only was this customized EXACTLY to what I had envisioned, but Kelly thought of things I never would have come up with based on what she heard me describe as my dream trip. The hotels were all amazing and not ones I would have found on my own and the hotel she suggested in Sorrento fit my dream description of what I was looking for and went so beyond my (very high) expectations. My favorite hotel experience of my well-traveled life! Not only did Kelly suggest things I wouldn't have thought of, she also shared her own pictures and experiences which made it so much easier for me to believe they would be worth the time and money. It never would have occurred to me to book a private golf cart tour in Rome or a food tour for the night we arrived, and both were absolute perfection! Each of our tour guides for private and semi-private experiences were world class and exceptionally lovely, engaging and knowledgable people. I also appreciated that Kelly let me be as involved as I wanted to with planning and had so much patience and grace for changes that I requested like adding in a lemon farm tour or swapping out free days. She even went the extra mile to give me a list of book stores to visit in each location because she knows how passionate I am about reading. My family and I have precious memories that will last a lifetime thanks to Kelly's care, creativity and design. Not only will I recommend Kelly to anyone I know planning a trip, I will 100% be working with her again!

Italy
Reviewed By Terry - Houston, PA | Traveled to Italy | Europe
This was the trip of a lifetime! We did not want to come home. It was fairly easy to plan, Kelly did most of the work. Every detail was planned out for us. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. My only negative was we had a couple too many tours. We felt a little rushed at times, but in order to see what we wanted to see, that's what had to happen.

Italy done Spettacolare
Reviewed By Gelato_Lovers - Dallas TX | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Our tour of Rome, the Amalfi Coast and Radda was *Spettacolare!* The hotels were exceptional. Hotel Lunetta in Rome offered outstanding service, breakfast, a rooftop bar where we discovered Aperol Spritzes, and a spa in a perfect location. The Grand Hotel Royal in Sorrento was the finest hotel we have ever stayed in. After traveling more than 7 million miles, that is saying something. Relais Vignale Hotel & Spa in Radda provided the ideal setting for a relaxing stay in Tuscany, with excellent food, service, and views. The private and small-group tours were outstanding. Highlights included the Trastevere Food Tour, Rome by Golf Cart, and a fascinating Colosseum and Roman Forum tour where our guide used picture books to show how the sites originally looked. The private Amalfi Coast Drive allowed us to see the highlights while avoiding the worst crowds. A recommendation to visit Safari Positano for custom-made sandals became one of our favorite discoveries. Pompeii was brought to life by an excellent guide, followed by a winery lunch overlooking Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples. Our Farm-to-Table Experience on a family-operated lemon farm was priceless. The family made us feel like guests rather than tourists, and the zero-kilometer meal was unforgettable. Capri was equally enjoyable thanks to a guide who helped us experience the island efficiently despite the crowds. Tuscany was the perfect finale. A jeep tour through vineyards, mountaintop views with Prosecco and local snacks, and an exceptional winery lunch with narrated wine pairings created lasting memories. The balance of guided tours and free time was perfect. Daily breakfast buffets, outstanding restaurants, flawless transfers, and high-speed rail travel made everything easy and enjoyable. We are bringing home countless wonderful memories. With all the logistics handled for us, we were free to simply enjoy the sights, the food, and our time together as a family. Bravo!

Highly Recommended!
Reviewed By MerryWanderer - Pittsburgh, PA | Traveled to Germany | Europe
We have been working with Kelly for well over a year in planning our dream trip on a Viking Rhine river cruise which was supposed to take place in less than a week. We ended up rescheduling for next year due to historic low river levels on the Rhine but Kelly has been there for us every step of the way, especially in being our advocate with Viking. Kelly has been extremely helpful and professional along the way as well as warm and friendly and understanding of our wishes. She is also quick to respond to questions and concerns. We look forward to actually taking this trip and definitely plan to work with Kelly again on future trips.

Europe Stole a Piece of My Heart

From the time that I was very young, I have always loved history. I think it's in my blood to have a fascination with the past. When I was a little girl, my grandmother told me stories about our relatives and how they came over from Ireland. She shared letters that one relative wrote while fighting in the American Civil War and recipes that our ...
