Customized Independent Travel
Your Schedule. Your Choice.
For travelers who want the freedom to explore at their own pace, I design fully customized itineraries that reflect your interests, comfort level, and curiosity. Whether it’s a leisurely week in Tuscany or a journey through Scotland’s countryside, independent travel allows you to linger where your interests lead – while I ensure every detail is thoughtfully arranged. Private guides when desired, seamless logistics, and accommodations chosen for character and comfort give you independence without uncertainty. This approach offers flexibility, depth, and a strong sense of personal connection to place.
River Cruises
Let the Rivers Carry You to New Discoveries
River cruising offers a relaxed and immersive way to experience Europe’s cultural heart. You unpack once yet wake up each day in a new city, often docking steps from historic centers. These cruises combine the intimacy of small ships with enriching excursions—vineyard tastings, castle visits, or wellness activities like yoga and cycling tours—that connect you with local life. With attentive service, excellent cuisine, and a thoughtfully paced itinerary, river cruising is ideal for travelers who value depth, ease, and connection over scale.

Ocean Cruises
The World Awaits Beyond the Horizon.
Ocean cruising opens the world in ways few other travel styles can—making it possible to explore regions such as the Arctic, Antarctica, or multiple Mediterranean countries with ease. From smaller, yacht-style ships to larger vessels with extensive amenities, ocean cruises offer a wide range of experiences united by exceptional service and seamless travel. This style is ideal for travelers who want to cover greater distances comfortably while enjoying enriching onboard programs and carefully curated shore experiences.
Escorted / Group Tours
Experience More, Effortlessly
Escorted tours are an excellent choice for travelers who want the details handled for them—accommodations, transportation, activities, and logistics—while still enjoying meaningful experiences and thoughtful pacing. Many tours include special access such as private museum visits, meals with local families, or after-hours cultural events that are difficult to arrange independently. For travelers who value structure, insight, and companionship, escorted tours offer a well-balanced way to experience a destination with confidence and ease.
