You can spend your mornings driving the Blue Ridge Parkway, stopping at scenic overlooks, and your afternoons discovering cascading waterfalls in DuPont State Forest or hiking through the lush trails of Pisgah National Forest. If you're a train enthusiast or just love a good scenic ride, I always suggest the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad through Nantahala Gorge, it’s stunning. But it’s not all about nature.

New Orleans Travel Agent Specialist

There’s just something about my birthplace: New Orleans. There's a magic in the air that you can’t quite put into words until you’ve been there yourself.

Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning traveler, New Orleans has a way of grabbing hold of your heart and not letting go. When clients ask me for a destination that's rich in culture, food, music, and history, New Orleans is always at the top of my list. From the moment you arrive, you're immersed in a city that marches to the beat of its own drum, literally. Walk through the French Quarter and you'll hear jazz floating through the air, smell fresh beignets from Café du Monde, and see the balconies draped in ironwork and Mardi Gras beads. I always recommend diving into the local cuisine, as it’s an experience in itself. Whether it's a bowl of spicy gumbo, a perfectly crisp po’ boy, or fresh crawfish étouffée, the flavors are unforgettable. And the cocktail scene? One of the best in the country. I personally love taking a leisurely evening stroll through the Garden District, then ending the night with a live jazz set on Frenchmen Street, it’s pure magic. But there’s more to New Orleans than just the party. The city is layered with history of the African, French, Spanish, and Creole influences that all come together here in a way that’s as complex as it is beautiful. You can explore the past through walking tours, ghost stories, historic cemeteries, or even a riverboat cruise on the Mississippi. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a cultural deep-dive, or just want to let loose and celebrate life, New Orleans delivers in a way no other city can. It’s not just a destination, it’s an experience.

Italy Travel Agent Expert

Italy has a way of slowing you down. One minute you are winding through Rome's cobblestone streets past centuries old ruins, and the next you are sitting on a terrace in Positano watching the light change over the water with a glass of local white wine in hand. It is a country built for paying attention, and that is exactly how I like to plan trips there.

I am an Italy specialist and luxury travel agent, and my job starts with figuring out what kind of trip you are actually after, long before I open a single itinerary. Some of my favorite trips to plan are honeymoons tucked into the Tuscan countryside, private terrace, local wine, dinner reservations already made so all you have to do is show up and toast to the next chapter. Others are multigenerational family trips where the goal is pasta making classes for the kids, gelato every single day, and enough beach time in Sardinia or along the Amalfi Coast to make everyone forget they have a phone. And plenty are for travelers who have already knocked out Rome, Florence, and Venice and are ready to see the Italy fewer people talk about, places like Puglia's whitewashed trulli villages, the cave dwellings of Matera, or a slow week in Umbria where you will not hear a word of English all day.

Wherever you land, I handle the parts that would otherwise eat up your planning time and your patience. That means figuring out whether Rome, Milan, Venice, or Naples makes the most sense for your itinerary, getting you onto the right high speed train between cities, arranging a private driver for the cliffside roads of the Amalfi Coast or the Dolomites, and making sure you know exactly which dock to stand at for the right ferry to Capri or Sardinia. I have hiked through the Dolomites myself, wandered the alleys of Cinque Terre and Val Gardena, and sat down to dinner in a small hotel in Ortisei that serves, hands down, the best carbonara I have ever had. That firsthand experience is what shows up in your itinerary instead of a copy paste list from a guidebook.

For travelers who want to move rather than just sightsee, Italy delivers just as much on that front. I can map out an Alta Via route through the Dolomites with the right mountain refugios booked along the way, a coastal trail hike above Cinque Terre or the Amalfi Coast, a cycling route through the Tuscan countryside, or a day sailing off the coast of Sardinia. It is one of the few places in the world where a serious hike in the morning and a candlelit dinner on a piazza that same night both feel completely normal.

Food tends to be the thread that ties every Italy trip together no matter who I am planning for. Truffle hunting outside Alba, a wine tasting on the terraced vineyards above the Amalfi Coast, a hands on pasta class in Bologna with someone whose family has made it the same way for generations, or a quiet morning watching a local chef pick herbs from his garden before your dinner even starts. Those are the moments people remember long after the trip is over, and they are the ones I build the whole itinerary around.

And because Italy sits so close to the rest of Europe, I often help travelers turn one trip into two or three. A few extra days on the French Riviera, a ferry ride to Dubrovnik from the Puglian coast, an island hop over to Santorini, or a scenic drive up into the Swiss Alps straight from the Dolomites are all easy additions once you are already on that side of the world.

However you picture your trip to Italy, that is where I start. I will be with you before you leave, while you are there, and even after you are home, so the only thing left for you to plan is which gelato flavor to try next. Call me and let's get it started.
