About Me

River Cruising on the Rhone River
River Cruising on the Rhone River

There's no better way to experience Europe than sailing through the heart of it! Whether your dreaming of castles and vineyards along the Rhine, the charming villages of the Danube, or the scenic waterways of France, I am here to help you find the perfect voyage. 

In April 2025, I had the pleasure of sailing the Danube River with a fantastic group with Viking River Cruises. One of my favorite parts was waking up each morning in a new destination and experiencing the unique culture, history, and beauty of the region.

A few months later, I traded beer gardens for vineyards and sailed France's beautiful Rhone River aboard Riverside Luxury Cruises. My favorite experience was an included excursion, E-biking through the Provence France region! It quickly became clear why river cruising has a loyal following! Let's just say the Rhone River was very kind to my camera roll! 

My initial river cruise was a Christmas Market-Amawaterways River Cruise on the Rhine River. Starting in the Netherlands and cruising to Germany and then France, we enjoyed festive markets, local treats, and enough mulled wine to embrace the holiday spirit. It was a joyful way to experience Europe during the Christmas season.

No two cruise lines are exactly alike. Whether you're considering Riverside Luxury Cruises, Avalon Waterways, Amawaterways, or Viking River Cruises, each offers a unique experience. Some travelers are looking for luxury and relaxation, while others are looking for active excursions, and immerse cultural experiences. That's where I come in! Rather than sorting through the options on your own, allow me to help you find the European River Cruise you've been imagining! Spend less time navigating the choices and more time looking forward to your trip!
