Italy Travel Agent Advisor Expert

Italy: What's the first thing that comes to mind?  History and Archeology, Renaissance art, Opera, Racing Cars, Pizza?? Italy is all that...and MORE! 

Imagine yourself strolling down the Via Veneto in Rome; finding sacred solace at The Vatican; sipping a cup of cappuccino at  a local cafe; getting close up and personal with Michelangelo's David in Florence;  having a cannoli near St. Mark's square; or just enjoying a some wine and La Dolce Vita in Tuscany or on the Amalfi Coast. 

I just love specializing as a travel agent in Italian vacations. Italy is home to some great European cities--Naples, Florence, Venice, Rome, Turin, and Milan. The country features wonderful food dishes, fine wines, and memorable historical sites. It can be visited anytime of the year, as there is always something exciting to see and do. Whenever anyone asks that I plan a trip to Italy for them, I can't wait to share what I know about this fantastic country. People who visit Italy speak of its beauty, friendliness, unique culture, and romance. It's one of those places that provides diverse and interesting attractions no matter where you go and what you do. Italy is a place of significant importance historically as well as a country that features lakes, unforgettable coasts, and an escape to a finer and simpler way of life. The birthplace of the Roman Empire, Italy highlights ancient Roman ruins, intrigues visitors with its art, and showcases grand palaces and estates. For example, a gondola ride in Venice takes you through the city's watery avenues - the site of Venetian architectural designs - a place where both romance and history come alive. Therefore, I would like to serve as your travel advisor to Italy, as I know you will love this country just as much as I do. Why don't we plan a travel itinerary today? Call me anytime or contact me by email. Let's make your next vacation an Italian holiday!

The North Island is best known for the geothermal wonders of Rotorua and the clear waters of the Bay of Islands, but also offers insights into the rich and rewarding Maori culture.

Australia Travel Agent, Advisor and Specialist

G'day, Mate !!

Welcome to Australia,  a vast country with no shortage of incredible destinations and experiences. Eight states and territories stretching across an entire continent.

Australia’s largest city, Sydney, is one of the world’s prettiest. Much of its allure revolves around the harbour, a dramatic expanse that creates a sanctuary for some of the country’s best beaches. This is the Sydney you see on postcards, with the immense Harbour Bridge and shell-like fans of the Opera House skirting the emerald waters. More sandy stretches await along the coast, from Coogee to Bondi, attracting surfers and sun-worshippers alike.  

In the tropical north of Australia, the rainforest meets the sea and two World Heritage sites unite: the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest. Imagine lush jungles tumbling to the edge of secluded white beaches, the soft sand disappearing into world-class dive sites, and curious clownfish looking back at you from the colourful coral.

In the Red Centre, a huge red monolith, Ayers Rock, is a World Heritage site, and one of Australia’s most emblematic landmarks. Uluru is literally the heart of Australia, and the ochre soil is as dramatic as the massive sandstone rock itself. You can cycle, walk, ride a camel or take a helicopter around the nearly 10-kilometre (6.2-mile) circumference, then dine under the stars on a sand dune – your meal featuring native ingredients and your view lit by an incredible glowing art installation: Bruce Munro’s Field of Light.

Heading south, welcome to Melbourne. This southern metropolis captures everything Aussies love most in this world – leisure, sport, art, music and coffee (just to name a few). In Melbourne, you can find eye-popping street art and a plethora of en vogue restaurants and bars. From hidden speakeasies to rooftop bars where you can sip a cocktail and watch the sunset, Melbourne is a trailblazer in the food and wine stakes. Once you've wined and dined, you can’t miss a road trip along the Great Ocean Road. Just a few hours from Melbourne, wild koalas, impressive rock formations and endless coastlines await.

For something different, try Australia's western capital...the gateway to some of the state’s most epic adventures – not least those involving food and wine. It’s a three-hour drive from Perth to the Margaret River region, one of the few places in the world where wine grows within metres of the beach. The vineyards here are known for their cabernet sauvignon grapes, but take it from us, all the wines grown here are exquisite. There’s also a myriad of craft breweries, acclaimed restaurants, luxury hotels, spectacular forests and plenty to keep the kids entertained.

Let's make your bucket list much shorter and travel to Australia.  Cheers, mate!!

Scotland Travel Agent Advisor

Towering mountains, glittering lochs, dense woodlands and miles upon miles of golden beaches, enchanting castles, Scotch whiskey - Scotland will take your breath away. Tour the rolling hills and lush farmland of the Lowlands, or drive through deep glens surrounded by mountains in the Highlands. Uncover magnificent coastal features in the west, and explore the atmospheric, royal settings of the east.

Consider the graceful drama of Edinburgh’s skyline, bordered by Edinburgh Castle and Arthur’s Seat, the extinct volcano that looms over the capital. Or head up north to the Isle of Skye, where the mighty Cuillin Hills will amaze you. Alternatively, check out Scotland’s best beaches, and must-see lakes like Loch Lomond.

Scotland is home to 130 different whisky distilleries, making it the country with the highest concentration of whisky production in the world. It’s no surprise that the “water of life” (or “uisge beatha” in Gaelic) is one of the best-known traditional Scottish products.

Castles are central to the history of Scotland’s clans, the kinship groups that once organised Highland society. For example, on the road to Skye, you’ll pass the spectacular Eilean Donan, on the banks of Loch Duich, the stronghold of Clan Mackenzie and Clan Macrae.Further south, in Argyll, check out the ruins of the 15th-century Kilchurn Castle, perhaps one of the most iconic castles in Scotland. It was once home to the Campbells, a particularly powerful Scottish Highland Clan.

England UK Travel Agent Expert

As a travel agent expert for England/UK, I must admit that the country is one of the most charming places, historically and culturally. The country's remaining green and beautiful scenery is well-protected, and it is home to several world-class institutions. English residents love to describe the country’s golden rural history through duck ponds, village greens, and hedgerow-lined alleys, all which form picturesque attractions in many locales. You can visit the scenes - from quaint  fishing towns in Cornwall to ancient stone circles in England’s Lake District.However, don’t be totally misled by the rustic charm. Farming currently accounts for a tiny fraction of the nation's overall earnings, and many rural areas are struggling. There are many historic sites in England's cities, which, when coupled with rapid  redevelopment and invention, create an especially powerful mix. For every individual who wants to tour Buckingham Palace or visit the Houses of Parliament, there is another traveler who wants to visit Manchester's clubs, or thread through Brighton's meandering alleyways. The English have long taken great pride in their cities and their citizens. The Industrial Revolution and the Empire it birthed are responsible for many of the attractions you'll see on your tour of England. Whether it's a beautiful Gothic cathedral built from the royal coffers, a parish church established  by the wool of medieval tycoons, or a triumphant municipal edifice built from proceeds of the sugar industry, practically every town carries the imprint of its former power and wealth. In the south, you'll find dockyards that employed whole towns, while in the north, you'll find enormous, huge mills that historically employed entire populations. From its imperial conquests, England has a treasure trove of artifacts that fill its museums and galleries. The huge stuccoed terraces and broad esplanades of English seaside resorts make it simple to understand why they were once as popular as any European spa.A vacation in England is as relaxing as it is interesting. Let me plan the ideal English holiday for you. Call or email and let’s get started! I look forward to being your go-to travel agent for everything England.
