I have traveled extensively throughout 20 European countries and lived in Italy for almost five years. My European travel experience began during high school when I attended classes in Paris, France and traveled throughout Normandy, Brittany, and the Loire Valley.  During my junior year of college, I studied in both Florence and London. The European travel seed had been planted, and after college I lived for some time in Venice, Vernazza (Cinque Terre) and Florence, Italy.  During that time of living in Europe, I had many wonderful opportunities to travel and learn about the great countries that make up this continent. I have used this experience to help me in my professional travel life as I plan and coordinate wonderful vacations and adventures for my clients. European travel is very diverse from accommodations such as small country inns, villa rentals to five star hotels and transportation via rail, car rentals, flights and ferries. For the adventurous, I can help you with the best places to hike, bike, ski or sail.  Whether you are traveling to one country or five countries, I can help you plan the trip of a life time.
