Being an Antarctica travel agent professional has profoundly changed my life. A trip to the southern and cold South Pole will undoubtedly change your life as well. This barren and snow-covered place gives the visitor a surreal feeling of remoteness while conveying a unique kind of splendor. A landmass that is almost entirely covered in ice, Antarctica is the southernmost continent where the southernmost region, known as the Antarctic Peninsula, is a popular destination for cruises. Popular Antarctic attractions include the Lemaire Channel and Paradise Harbor, two stunning passages bordered by icebergs and a historic British research station (Port Lockroy), which is a museum.Cruise trips to the large glacial land mass are not dictated by calendars or clocks. Visitors climb peaks, kayak across the region’s ice rivers, and experience the expanse of the polar ice cap. The area’s deep crevasses and jagged cliffs are unlike any in the entire world. Explorers, such as Amundsen, Scott, and Cook, whose names are inscribed on the area’s beaches, all tried to reach this enigmatic land with mixed results.As a visitor to Antarctica, you can follow in these explorer’s footsteps, imagining how it was to forge over this polar plateau, whether by sledge or a creaking boat. Some of the huts from long ago still remain, preserved in ice, telling a story of past adventures.The species of animals are indeed unique, some of which include the Weddell seal and emperor penguin, who claim the icy terrain as their home. Other animals, such as the whales, travel from afar while millions of seabirds skim over the Southern Ocean - birds that include petrels and albatrosses.When you visit Antarctica, you will find that most of the wildlife is unafraid of its human visitors. Animals, such as penguins and seals, primarily focus on their young. Therefore, this part of the world possesses an indescribable quality - one that inspires and gives one pause in a harsh yet beautiful land.After your trip to Antarctica, you will remember the mountains rising from the marine type fog and the elusiveness of the snow-and-ice-scape. When you first arrive in Antarctica, you will quickly become acquainted with the tuxedoed Adelie penguin or the Emperor, each of which can be seen shooting from the water or tobogganing over the ice. The gamboling birds are certainly a sight to behold.Also, as your travel agent professional for Antarctica, I have to recommend a trip to the Lemaire Channel, a great destination for a photo buff. You will love ithe zone’s faint pink skies, its glaciers, and its towering ice and rocks. See ice floes topped with seals or take photographs of the noisy and squawking penguins. See the beautiful peak at Cape Renard that guard this one-of-a-kind destination.I know you will love escaping to this snowy frontier as much as I love representing it as a travel agent professional. Let’s discuss your upcoming journey today. Give me a call or email me now so we can start planning your holiday.

Chile is a place for the dreamer - where a wandering soul’s thoughts filter away from the hum-drum of life. If you want to experience a true and beautiful escape, I can arrange travel for you to this lovely destination. I am an experienced travel agent professional who can give you plenty of information about Chile or any other country, city, or town you wish to go to.Chile depicts a sliver of land on the edge of South America, which causes people to find interest in its unusually narrow shape. However, as soon as tourists set foot inside the country's borders, they soon learn that Chile is self-contained. Argentina and Bolivia are shut off by the Andes, a strong barrier of rock and ice that divides the constricted land mass from the rest of South America. An area of barren wasteland stretching for more than 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) separates Chile from Peru in the north. Travelers go to Chile for its remoteness and dazzling beauty, above all else. In spite of its population of 16 million people, much of Chile is a vast expanse of barely touched wilderness – places where you are days away from the nearest tarred road, where you can find steaming hot springs, gleaming white salt flats or emerald lakes, and have them all to yourself. Although Chile does indeed look thin, its land area is incredibly three times the size of the United Kingdom. Few countries can rival the breathtaking contrasts of nature you'll discover Chile, from the world's driest desert to enormous ice fields and glaciers. Chile features a kaleidoscope of landscapes ranging from sun-baked scrubland to lush vineyards and orchards to fjords and frigid Patagonian steppes. At its crest are towering mountains and lava-spewing craters that make up part of the Andes' jagged spine. As a developed nation, Chile provides comfortable accommodations and wilderness tours that are beyond compare.For example, one of South America's most spectacular experiences may be found in Chile's northernmost region, or the Altiplano, which can be crossed by car. Located between the eastern and western ranges of the Andes, the Altiplano is a high plateau that rises to a height of of 4,500 meters (14,764 feet). It's a place of sun-baked plains interspersed with turquoise lakes, and snow-capped mountains, all which come upon you stunning and forlorn. The indigenous Aymara people, who have been herding llamas and alpacas in the area for a millennia, live in the shadows of the mountains. From the northern towns of Chile, you may take an organized tour of the Chilean Altiplano; but, the ideal approach is to hire a 4WD, stocking it with camping gear, and setting off on your own to fully experience the sheer magnificence of this breathtaking landscape. Whether you visit Santiago, or take off on an Altiplano adventure, I can make all the arrangements as your travel agent professional. Give me a call today and let’s start planning your Chilean itinerary!

I greatly enjoy working as a Pertu travel agent professional, as Peru is both unique and welcoming. If you have always wanted to see South America, Peru is one country that must be included on your travel itinerary.The sun-worshipping Incas built the world's biggest empire in Peru, a beautiful kingdom rich in gold that was a key source of riches for Europeans in the sixteenth century. Those treasures have piqued European interest ever since. Peru is also home to the first stone pyramids in the world, unearthed in the late twentieth century. In addition, many pre-Incan civilizations have left their mark on Peru's desert coast, which is dotted with massive structures made of adobe. It’s these types of archeological achievements that draw tourists from the world over. Along with the country’s stunning landscapes and diverse fauna, Peru proves to be much more than its famed Andean mountain range.The intriguing South American country also exhibits a lovely desert coast and large stretches of tropical rainforest, which tourists generally overlook. The Andes, which represent peaks that soar over 6,000 meters (19,685 feet), span the whole length of the country. These mountains separate the jungle from the desert terrain and coast. Therefore, a visit to Peru will indeed give you the chance to see extremely different landscapes. In addition, music, dancing, and fiestas abound in Peru and the country’s food is some of the best you will ever taste.Did you know that around 34% of Peru’s population of 28 million people are under 16 years old? Therefore, there is a family feel and youthful exuberance about the country. One of the places I suggest travelers visit is Lima. When you visit LIma, you can always find time to talk to a local, eat a ceviche or try another Peruvian dish.I know you will love the ceviche and many of Peru’s festive dishes, as they are both delicious and healthy. Ceviche begins a meal perfectly, as it is usually served as an appetizer. It is made of shrimp or raw fresh fish and marinated in lime or lemon. While Peru has its fair share of Westernized eating establishments, I strongly recommend you visit the local eateries. Try the ceviche with a salad, sweet potato and corn - something Peruvians often eat for a Sunday afternoon meal. While it may, at first, sound unappealing, the cuy (roast guinea pig) is actually tasty - at least for those who are brave enough to sample it.The street food is tantalizing and reasonably priced and provides easily accessible options, such as grilled meats and empanadas, which are savory pastries filled with ingredients, fried or baked. Now that I’ve given you a small taste of Peru, I am sure you will want to book travel to the country. As your travel agent advisor, I know you will never forget your Peruvean holiday. Why not call me now so we can start planning your journey today?

As an Arctic Ocean travel agent specialist for cruise vacations, I can tell you that this form of luxury travel is both exciting and memorable. The Arctic area and the Arctic Ocean include places, such as Alaska, Norway, and Canada. The region is not confined to one discrete section, such as North America. Therefore an Arctic cruise may lead you to towns and sites that are part of the countries that border this glacial ocean, including Russia, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, and the U.S. Because the distance between countries can be vast, the Arctic itself defines an area in the world, above the north latitude of 66 degrees, where the sun does not rise during the winter solstice nor sets, as usual, during the summer solstice. This results from the sun's height in this location. Permafrost describes the Arctic region as a place where the ground will not thaw for two consecutive years straight. A tree line definition qualifies that much of the arctic is treeless. However, just because some places may seem austere, you can see beautiful wildflowers in the spring and witness amazing Arctic animals, such as the polar bear, elk, and whale. The temperature does not rise above 50 degrees in any month during the year, but the people in many places are warm and friendly, and when you are dressed properly, the lower temperatures can be quite refreshing. Historically, this part of the world drew many hunters, explorers, scientists and anglers. Trips or tourism started about 200 years ago, first growing slowly, until steam ship travel and railways, in the nineteenth century, encouraged travel. Today, cruising the Arctic or visits to the region are popular vacations, as people not only enjoy luxury accommodations, they can really explore a land like none they have seen before. Many people who take Arctic vacations also include activities, such as snowmobiling, hiking, white river rafting, skiing, and mountaineering to their list of pursuits. Cruising the Arctic Ocean also gives travelers the opportunity to connect with nature on a whole new level. For anyone who loves wildlife and nature, I often encourage an Alaskan cruise in the Arctic Ocean. Alaska is also a great place to flight-see, hunt, fish, and hike. Canadian trips can also be arranged where you can see polar bears, comfortably, from a warm and protective tundra vehicle or from the cruise ship. Part of cruising in the Arctic also concerns the lights in the sky. While Inari and Nordurland stand out as outstanding locations for seeing the Aurora Borealis, Svalbard, Norway is recommended for seeing the Midnight Sun. That is why it is important, as your travel advisor, that I know when you wish to plan a cruise and your specific likes and preferences. Ships are stabilized so you can embark down polar passages and see the North up close. The Arctic is a one-of-a-kind frontier, one that you can see and discover by booking a luxury cruise. Let me give you all the exciting details. Call me or email me now. Let me be your go-to travel agent for exploring the Arctic by ship.

France is more than just Paris, it covers beautiful areas - some of the most lovely towns in the world. You cannot create a bucket list and not include travel to France. That is why I love representing this country as a travel agent specialist.From the Neolithic Age through the Renaissance and Baroque periods, France is an art and architectural treasure trove that spans all historical periods. To provide one example, the world's biggest collection of Neolithic sites may be seen in Carnac. Frightening stone faces may be seen near Filitosa, in southern Corsica as well. The megalithic venue, in France, covers a period that spans from the conclusion of the Neolithic era to the start of the Bronze Age, up until Roman times. Besides Corsica, the Pont du Gard aqueduct, the Maison Carree, and Les Arenes near Nimes all feature examples of Roman architecture. I also suggest a visit to Carcassonne - the country’s most impressive medieval stronghold. I guarantee that it will leave you speechless. You may also want to visit Rocamadour's clifftop church or Mont St. Michel’s stunning island monastery. Outstanding examples of Gothic architecture include Avignon's enormous Palais des Papes and Albi's Cathédrale Ste-Cécile. Let me organize a trip to the Loire Valley for you where you can see the Château de Chambord and the Château Royal de Blois. Both will offer a taste of French Renaissance beauty. During the 17th and 18th centuries, a substantial portion of France's money was spent on promoting Versailles in Paris, a beautiful chateau that should be on every traveler's itinerary. In addition to the Musee d'Orsay at Paris, museums in Rouen and St. Tropez also honor the 19th century Impressionists and Post-Impressionist painters. Many pieces of 20th-century art may be seen in the towns and villages that surround the Cote d'Azur region as well. The museums, villas, and palaces of France's Riviera are fantastic places to visit year-round for relaxed outdoor activities as well as superb inside experiences. Seeing Paris and the Eiffel Tower is, of course, a must on any vacation to France. If you don't want to wait in super long queues to get into the capital's attractions, I can help you plan a trip that is hassle-free. That is because I want you to focus on the sights and attractions, the foods, and French wines. Therefore, you can count on me to make your journey a one-of-a-kind holiday escape. If you'd like to plan a holiday to France, please contact me at your earliest convenience right away. With my help as your travel agent advisor, you'll get to see and experience everything France has to offer. Let’s talk about your next trip today.

While plenty of people consider vacations to nearby Spain or England, they overlook Portugal, which is really a shame. That is why I love to redirect people’s thoughts sometimes when it comes to vacation planning. Portugal is one place you don’t want to leave off of your life’s travel itinerary.Visiting Portugal is a journey into a land rich in culture and history. More than 800 kilometers (about 500 miles) of attractive Atlantic Ocean shoreline adorn the nation. The city of Lisbon is located at the mouth of the Tagus River, making it one of the most beautiful places in the world. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Portuguese explorers embarked on epic journeys of discovery, and the country's maritime history has flourished ever since. The core of Portugal is a mix of impressive mountain ranges in the north and huge, sun-drenched plains in the center. Stunning coves and shallow seas line some of Europe's top beaches in the south. Stone-built villages, charming towns, and cosmopolitan cities are scattered across the region, where ancient palaces and castles, museums, and monasteries are ready to welcome visitors. While in Portugal, you also want to visit Madeira, known as the Garden Isle and the Azores archipelago, known forits subtropical and lush green landscape. As your travel advisor to Portugal, I also want to call your attention to a place, such as Sintra, a charming town that sits inside the hills of Serra de Sintra. The magical town conveys its charms with pine-covered hills and fairy-tale palaces, glorious villas and the remains of a Moorish castle. Sintra's idyllic setting, atop a wooded mountain range is enough of a reason to pay a visit to this quaint town and its settings. For this reason, central Sintra has been designated a World Heritage cultural landscape by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).Romantic Sintra has long been a favored summer vacation spot for the Portuguese royal family anx a popular getaway for poets and authors, including William Beckford and Lord Byron. Many of the homes in the old town are painted in the quaint and welcoming pastels of mustard, pink, and lilac.The National Palace of Sintra dominates the plaza. WIth its distinctive conical chimneys, the elegant building leaves an impression you soon won’t forget. Spanning several stories, the palace contains distinctive and memorable decors. One of the must-see areas of the palace is Sala dos Brasoes, a domed hall adorned with 72 coats of arms of Portuguese families.Are you ready to plan a trip to Portugal? If so, let me be your travel agent advisor. I have the knowledge and insight needed to make your travel planning seamless, streamlined, fun, and easy. Let’s talk about your vacation today.

If you have never been to Croatia, I can tell you, as your travel agent specialist, that you are in for a treat. Even if you have visited the country previously, I can plan even a better trip this time. Croatia is filled with exciting and leisurely sights and cities with vistas and buildings you will never forget.For example, my first suggestion, as your travel agent advisor, is to book a stay in the city of Dubrovnik. Croatia's major city in the south, Dubrovnik, sitsdirectly along the Adriatic Sea. Large stone walls, built in the 16th century, surround the Old Town, giving it a unique character of its own. St. Blaise Church, Renaissance Sponza Palace, and the Gothic Rector's Palace, which is now a history museum, are some of the well-preserved structures in the area. The pedestrianized Stradun (or Placa) is bordered with stores and restaurants, and is paved with limestone.A Game of Thrones' setting, as well as a preferred travel destination of luminaries, such as Beyoncé and Bill Gates, the picturesque and historic walled city is a popular enclave. Take the Dubrovnik cable car to reach the top of Srd Hill. At the top of the peak, you can visit a restaurant and marvel at some great city views. Make sure you visit the peak on a sunny day, as you will be greatly rewarded visually.Another place of note is the island of Korcula. Also dubbed, “Little Dubrovnik,” the isle charms visitors with its red-tiled buildings and cobbled alleys and streets. Legend says that the island was established by a Trojan hero but was settled by the Greeks. Also said to be Marco Polo’s place of birth, Korcula is considered one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic. Incredible beaches and the island’s lovely architecture provide trip-goers with an amazing travel experience.You may also want to visit the capital of Zagreb during your Croatian holiday. Zagreb, the country's capital and largest city, offers both culture and entertainment. Located next to the River Sava and sitting in the shadow of the nearby mountain range, the city offers plenty to do in the form of museums, cathedrals, theaters, and monuments.Also, you do not want to miss "Spica," the city's well-known Saturday morning/afternoon tradition. At that time, everyone descends on a few of the streets in the downtown area for a leisurely coffee or to practice the art of relaxing and doing nothing.If you love trekking through the Great Outdoors, you won’t want to miss a visit to Plitvice Lakes National Park. There is nothing quite like the breathtaking cascading lakes of Southeast Europe's oldest national park.Calcium carbonate, which is present in the site’s limestone rocks, gives the water a blue-green hue. The mineral reacts with the plants and animals to produce an array of eye-catching blues. As the limestone continues to form, the waterfalls develop and expand too.The city of Opatija is also worth a visit. The hub of tourism since the mid-19th century, the city was formerly a place where luxury villas and seaside resorts welcomed Austrian nobility. I know you will find Croatia as enchanting as I have as a travel agent specialist for the country. Contact me today so we can plan your perfect holiday. Let’s get started now. Call me or email me at your earliest convenience.

Austria is one of those places that mesmerize you and charm you at the same time. You cannot help but fall in love with a place that features snowy mountains, the music of Mozart, and dark chocolate. Of course, you cannot forget the Vienna Boys’s Choir, the movie, the Sound of Music, or the country’s quaint Alpine villages. That is why I am always excited to book travel to this central European destination. Anytime is a good time to visit Austria.Austria is a country that welcomes everyone. For every St. Anton skier, you will find a snowboarder enjoying the snowy trails in Schladming. The former mining town is now a favorite tour spot and attraction. If you love Strauss, you will love Vienna and its concerts. Savor the moments spent at the kaffeehaus or find solace during the times you hike or relax in Austria’s countryside.With an area of 83,855 square kilometers (about 52,105 miles), Austria is nearly the same size as Scotland or Idaho. The alps cover 62% of the land, with 39% being wooded, 23% being grazing areas, and 17% being arable. The German border is the country's longest common boundary of Austria’s neighbors. The highest point is the Grossglockner mountain (3.798 feet), while the lowest is Neusiedlersee Lake (115m). The Danube and the Inn are the two main rivers in the region. There are 8.2 million people in Austria, with 1.6 million (or 20 percent) living in Vienna. About 78 percent of the population is Roman Catholic and 5 percent is Protestant. Burgenland, Carinthia, Lower Austria, Salzburg, Styria, Tyrol, Upper Austria, Vienna, and the Vorarlberg comprise Austria's nine Länder (states). For all of its love of grandeur and bittersweet memories - when Vienna was the capital of a great, multinational empire, the country still appreciates today’s trends and modernity. You're sure to hear the phrase, “Gemütlichkeit,” a term that describes a combination of casual coziness and friendliness, during your vacation, regardless of whether you stay in a popular skiing, hiking, or spa resort or at a remote German-styled inn, known as a Gasthof.Austria, like Switzerland, is a law-abiding country, where people rarely jaywalk or discard trash thoughtlessly and randomly. Austria is a place where the trains and trams arrive on time and the country’s imperial history is nostalgically recalled. THe Hapsburg Empire fell in 1918. Therefore, Austria is a country that fascinates history buffs as well as anyone who loves European art and culture.Visiting Austria simply is not complete without staying a while in Vienna. Cultural attractions range from the massive art collections of the Kunsthistorisches Museum to the brand new MuseumsQuarter, all of which can be found in Vienna's historic palace districts of Hofburg and Schönbrunn. Freud, Klimt, Schiele and Schönberg were just a few of the famous names that visited Vienna's cafes during the end of the 19th century - a time when the city was in the midst of its most golden period historically.The city features a plethora of Jugendstil and early modernist structures, as well as tuxedo-clad waiters serving in the city's many fine-dining cafes. Last but not least, Vienna represents one of the best nightlife destinations in the country, and features everything from world-class opera to electronica. I also suggest, as your travel agent advisor, a trip to Salzburg. Intoxicating is an understatement when it comes to the city. Baroque architecture can be seen in abundance in the center of Old Town, or the city's Altstadt, as well as in the Hohensalzburg stronghold, which is one of the country's outstanding medieval castles. Because it is the birthplace of Mozart and the location of the world-renowned Salzburg Festival, Salzburg has a long and distinguished musical history.Innsbruck is one of Austria's most vibrant regional capitals, with a welcoming nightlife and easy access to public transportation. Not only do the trains run on time, but even more impressively, buses adhere to a regular schedule. Assume that you go to a bus stop, check the schedule, and the bus comes at the exact time - a pipedream for most people who take public transportation throughout the world. Another place to visit is the city of Graz. The provincial capital of Styria is home to Hauptplatz, the medieval old town square. The pedestrian-friendly center displays Baroque and Renaissance buildings that feature shops and fine dining. You can also take a funicular up Schlossberg hill, to an old clock tower. Graz, which is Austria’s second-largest city, is a good hub for anyone who wishes to visit the nearby pumpkin fields and vineyards.Let me be your travel agent professional for your holiday to Austria. Let’s start the journey now by planning a trip right away! Give me a call or email me today.

As a travel agent and advisor for Romania, I have always found the country a fascinating locale. Not only is its history interesting, so are its foods, lifestyles, and cultural practices. Therefore, I cannot wait to help you plan a trip to this interesting and exciting travel destination.Romanians trace their heritage back to the Romans and the Romans’ love of luxury and art. In addition, the country has a diversity of wildlife and scenery - the country’s cultures and people live life in a way that seems to have changed little from the past. Everything counts as an adventure in Romania - from the country’s gypsies to its wild bears.Home to an area of 237,000 square kilometers or approximately 147,264 square miles, Romania represents one of the largest nations in Central Europe. Its capital, Bucharest, rests in the far south spanning the plains of Wallachia, which is found between the mountainous terrain of Transylvania (to the north) and the Danube River. The highest peak, called Moldoveanu, is situated in the Carpathian mountain range. The majority of Romania's tourists visit the country's mountain, seaside, and health spa resorts, all of which are seeing rapid growth. In terms of trade, Romania's major commercial partners are Italy and Germany. Romania's most renowned historical person is Vlad epes (c. 1431–76), better known as Vlad the Impaler and, more familiarly, as Dracula.Even if Romania's main cities, such as Bucharest, Brasov, Sighisoara, Timisoara, and Sibiu, are interesting locales, the country's true charm is found in its less-traveled areas. Villages in Romania's rural areas are varied, from the reed-built dwellings of Oltenia to the Gothic-style wooden churches of Maramures, not to mention the plethora of more traditional buildings that represent the country's history and religious practices. From the Carpathian highlands to the bucolic hills of Bucovina to Europe's most pristine marshes, Romania represents some of the continent's most diverse and interesting environments. Bucharest, the capital of Romania, is the first stop for many travelers. Despite its traffic-congested 19th century Parisian-type boulevards and decaying architecture, you cannot help but find it delightful. Transylvania, a province to the north of Romania's capital city, is the backdrop for the country's most breathtaking landscape and is home to some of the country's most beautiful towns, such as Brasov, which provides entry to the country’s examples of Saxon architecture.The Saxon influence is further found in the country’s villages with their churches and citadels, especially in places such as Prejmer, Biertan, and Fiscri. Just to the northwest, the Magyar cities of Cluj, Oradea, and Târgu display medieval streets and churches, including unforgettable edifices in the Secession and Baroque styles. If you go southwest, you will find Timisoara, a wonderful place to spend a couple days of your travel adventure.Romania also boasts many of Europe’s mineral springs. About 160 spas, some of which were made fashionable by the early-nineteenth century Hapsbugs, are extremely popular. Even the smaller spas feature restaurants and campsites. Basic treatments include drinking the waters, bathing in the springs or sapropelic muds, or breathing in mofette fumes.Therapies include aerosol and ultrasound treatments, acupuncture, and sunbathing as well. Each spa has its own specialities. For example, spas, such as Covasna or Vatra Dornei specialize in cardiovascular ailments while others may cover digestive problems or rheumatic complaints. You can also just escape to the countryside with its lovely mountains and lush greenery. The place is home to chamois, eagles, and bears while ranges, such as Bucegi and Retezat, offer great hiking opportunities. You can also visit the Black Sea coast, with its resorts, including the old port of Constanta. Are you ready to travel to Romania? If so, I would like to be your guide and travel agent specialist. Give me a call or contact me by email so we can start planning now.

Not all travels to England involve riding the double-decker buses or staying at an upscale hotel near Buckingham palace. As an England vacation travel agent professional, I can arrange those activities if you wish, but I also can plan trips for people who wish to hike or walk. There are few cities that can match London's unique blend of urban and rural elements. With 7.5 million residents, London is the most populous city in Western Europe, yet still manages to maintain an impressive amount of green space. When you look at the city as a whole, you'll find that more than a third of it is covered with greenery, from the famed parks and gardens to the canalside pathways to the abandoned railway lines and reclaimed industrial landscapes. In addition to providing a fascinating glimpse into the history of one of the world's most dynamic cities, these secret pathways are a delight to explore on your own. There are still a surprising number of unspoiled areas in southeast England despite the city's sprawling surroundings. Just about everything in London can be reached by fast rail services, and it's astonishing how far you can travel in one day without missing out on a pleasant stroll and a delicious meal at a pub or cafe. The lush North Downs and the more open North Wessex and South Downs are found to the south and west of the metropolis. In addition to the New Forest's immense old woods, the shoreline around Hastings and the undulating terrain to the west display stunning expanses of sandstone cliffs. The Chilterns and the endless flatlands of the Fens near Ely lie to the north, while the Thames links a string of charming cities and villages to the west of the city. From the Kent Weald to the eerily barren chalk uplands of the Wessex Downs, there is a dramatic range of scenery around the city. There has always been a lot of human activity in the southeast of England, which can be seen in the Iron Age forts, medieval field terraces, and great country-house estates that dot the landscape. Besides walking and viewing the magnificent landscapes, I suggest, as your travel agent professional, you visit some of England’s unique historic buildings. For example, you won’t want to miss a visit to Blenheim Palace, Vangrugh’s tribute to the Duke of Marlborough’s win over the French. The estate is divided into a house and mausoleum. You also must venture to Hampton Court, a spectacular attraction beside the Thames. The Tudor-designed home served as the residence for luminaries, such as Henry VIIo and Oliver Cromwell. If you journey to Surrey, you also must visit he Watts Chapel, a Byzantine-fashioned church overlooking the countryside. England is the ideal place to enjoy long walks and historic places. Let me serve as your travel agent specialist for this popular European country. Give me a call today to book a vacation now.

I am proud to be a travel agent specialist for Spain as the country offers so much to travelers. You too will love discovering this fascinating country. Inspiring views abound in this lovely European nation. The Pyrenees, Picos de Europa, and Sierra Nevada are some of the most magnificent mountain ranges in the world; they are also excellent hiking locations. The stunning cliffs of Spain's northwest Atlantic coast are contrasted by the country’s picturesque Mediterranean bays. And wherever you go, you'll see quaint little settlements that seem to have stood the test of time, perched on hills, huddled together, in valleys, or clinging to rocky outcroppings along the shore. Here is where the country's allure really begins to take hold. Spain is also a country obsessed with food and wine, and for good reason. While ingredients are deceptively basic, Spain’s cooking offers infinite diversity, ancient recipes that have been passed down through the years, and experimental cuisine. A Michelin-starred restaurant or a tapas bar may serve you the finest meal you've ever eaten, or a famous chef may make it for you in a more subdued setting. A wide range of culinary experiences awaits you, and they'll be an unforgettable part of your journey. Art is a reflection of reality in Spain. Windswept ruins of the Roman Empire, magnificent Gothic cathedrals, and unmatched Islamic architectural treasures all point to a land where great civilizations have risen, collapsed, and left their indelible imprint. What other nation could develop and feature interesting and uncompromisingly creative artists, such as Salvador Dal, Pablo Picasso, and Antoni Gaud? And it's apparent that Spain's future will be just as unique as its past, with huge monuments of history coexisting with architectural achievements that are bold and majestic. The term "fiesta" is one of the most well-known terms in the Spanish language for a reason: life in Spain is like a fiesta, and everyone appears to be invited.You can get a glimpse of this spirit on a packed, post-midnight street or when you see flamenco dancing. The constant flow of people and activity along Spain’s streets gives you the impression that anything can happen. Spain is a place where people live their passions every day - a country where music, exquisite cuisine, and natural landscapes are all deeply valued, and where people have a remarkable ability to celebrate the wonderful things in life. Whether you land in a quiet Castilian town constructed of stone at night, or find your way to a bustling Madrid street, you will always feel welcome. With its cutting-edge architecture, gourmet cuisine, and exciting nightlife, the city of Barcelona is yet another popular tourist destination I love to recommend. Tourists spend days roaming the cobblestone streets of the Gothic district, relaxing along the Mediterranean beaches, or admiring the works of Gaud. In the evening, the city of Barcelona transforms into a whirlwind of classic cocktail bars, opulent music halls, creatively decorated restaurants, and party-loving nightclubs. Another place of note is Catalonia - known for its vibrant markets, historic stadiums (such as Camp Nou, where FC Barcelona plays), and a rich cultural calendar.

As a travel agent specialist for Italy, I like to plan trips that cover specific areas of Italy for a certain length of time. Italy has a lot of sites and attractions, so it is best to plan a holiday that covers a section of the country or focuses on a city, such as Rome, Florence, Naples, or Venice. For example, let’s first look at northern Italy. If you have time, stop into the Pinoteca di Brera in Milan to see the works of art there. Go for a leisurely boat ride on Lake Como and walk through the surrounding area. Take in the beautiful architecture of Vicenza while you're there as well. You might also want to add Padua's renowned frescoes to your exploration of art.Discover Venice's Grand Canal aboard a vaporetto, or take in the views from the Duomo, the city's cathedral. Trek around the Cinque Terre coastline's dizzying walkways and slopes and schedule a visit to Lucca, Pisa, and Siena - three of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany. If your plans lead to southern Italy, you will want to visit Rome’s museums or visit Naples' Museo Archeologico and enjoy the city's best pizza while you're there. Take a boat to the island of Capri and marvel at the breathtaking views of the villages along the Amalfi Coast.Relax on the beach at Ravello and take in the sea air at Pompeii. Visit Palermo's glistening Palazzo dei Normanni, the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, and the spectacular Baroque village of Noto on a late-night boat from Palermo in Sicily. One of the most famous Roman ruins is the Colosseum - formerly the location of lethal gladiatorial conflicts. Access to the Forum and Palatine Museum is included in the price of admission. While in Rome, you also want to see the fascinating museums devoted to the Etruscans. The Necropolis Etrusca in Orvieto and the Eugubine Tablets in medieval Gubbio are two must-sees on any trip to the Etruscan ruins of Tuscany. Take a day to visit the Museo Guarnacci in Volterra to see the remarkable collection of Etruscan burial urns. You might also plan a culinary adventure through central Italy. Parma is a great place to indulge in good cheeses and hams, while Modena is an excellent venue to try balsamic vinegar, parmigiano reggiano cheese, and prosciutto ham - all three popular heritage foods and staples.A visit to Pisa and Siena will allow you to sample the local delicacy, bistecca alla fiorentina, as well as panforte. Or take a trip to Perugia and stock up on some of the city's world-famous Baci chocolates. Visit Norcia for truffles and sample the meat from the region's black pigs. Spend a day in Orvieto and enjoy delicious salami and Orvieto Classico wine.Whether you visit Italy for its culture, history, or cuisine, the country always delights. Allow me to introduce you to some of the country’s highlights. Give me a call or email about your travel plans today. I look forward to being your travel agent and advisor for all things Italy!

As a vast nation, Germany exhibits a broad range of contrasts. The Baltic and North Sea coasts, the Bavarian Alps, the Black Forest, and Berlin's clubs and bars are just a few of the places that attract tourists from across the world. That is why I love representing Germany as a travel agent advisor. The arts and literature have always had a special place in German society. Even in the smallest communities, there are musical and other cultural groups. in addition to opera theaters and symphony orchestras. Germany is the birthplace of some of the most influential figures in Western civilization, including Bach, Beethoven, Goethe, and Schiller. The arts are easily accessible in Germany, thanks to the country's many and cheaply priced events. In Germany, the architecture is just stunning. Germany's architectural talents were on full display throughout the Romanesque and Gothic eras. The Renaissance had just a marginal impact, although the Baroque and Rococo periods are well-represented here. Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, Modern, and Post-Modern may also be seen in German cities, particularly in Berlin. During World War II, the majority of German cities were destroyed by air strikes. Some cities chose to reconstruct their damaged structures while others elected to rebuild in a more contemporary design. Over 20,000 castles and ruins are dispersed throughout the nation. There are huge palaces and cathedrals in remote towns and locales. Germany is also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, making it an ideal location for a vacation. With hundreds of miles of defined paths, hiking is Germany's most popular outdoor sport. Bicycling is also a popular mode of transportation, as there are a number of designated cycling routes across cities. Many of Germany’s rivers and lakes are suitable for canoeing and kayaking activities and the Mittelgebirge (the lower mountain range in central and southern Germany) is a good place to ski or snowboard in the winter. Mountains like the Bavarian Alps and wooded hills like the Black Forest are popular leisure venues as well. Berlin, the capital and largest German city, is a fascinating vacation spot. It features more than 170 museums, three opera houses, a plethora of cultural options, and a fascinating history. Visiting the royal residences in Potsdam is a great day excursion, and Saxony (Sachsen) features some of Germany's most beautiful terrains. Visitors frequently flock to the area’s two largest cities, Dresden and Leipzig. One of Germany's most popular tourist destinations is the Rhine Valley. A fascinating section of the valley is between Speyer andCologne (Köln), home to a lovely Gothic cathedral. Every mile of the Rhine is dotted with castles and castle ruins, making it the Rhine of mythology.The state of Baden-Württemberg is a popular vacation spot as well. If you're planning a trip to Germany, Heidelberg's castle ruins are a must-see destination. Also, Erfurt is a picture-perfect town nestled in a serene enclave in the Rhineland-Pfalz region. It's a popular destination for hikers and bikers both. Whether you plan to see Munich, hike through the Black Forest, or spend time in Berlin, I promise, as your travel agent specialist, you will love your trip.

My family and I always travel in the middle of the year, we live in different cities so when we meet we try to enjoy the time as much as we can. We went on a 5-day cruise around Galapagos and visited Quito as well, we were delighted, and the cruise was exclusive, not like regular cruises at all. We got to see so many different species, we did snorkeling and took pictures in the most breathtaking spots. I can't believe there's just too much to see in Ecuador. The trip was perfect for our needs and all I did was tell Miriam what I wanted and she made it all happen.
It was always a dream of mine to visit Chile, I was referred to Miriam by one of my best friends who recently traveled to Spain and was very pleased with their services. With all honesty I can say this trip exceeded my expectations, the guide was extremely kind and always made sure that we had what we need for the trip. We enjoyed the food at all times thanks to Miriam's recommendations. My favorite places were Torres Del Paine and Eastern Island. Thank you Miriam for taking the time to build this trip and make it better than I dreamed!
I wanted to surprise my wife with a quick trip for our 6 years wedding anniversary. I'm forever grateful for a memorable weekend and wouldn't change a thing about it. We Visited Buenos Aires for 2 nights, enjoyed their parrilladas and local wine, just one word for it "exquisite". We flew to Iguassu Falls and spent 2 nights there. The morning view was amazing! We stayed at the Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas in Brazil's side and were able to hear the sound of the waterfalls while falling asleep. Next morning we went on a boat ride under the falls, it was extreme and we loved it! Thank you Miriam for sharing your knowledge and arranging everything for us, it was a perfect quick celebration with so much quality in such short stay.
This is by far the best experience with a travel planner I have ever had. Miriam was incredibly helpful and effective. The itinerary was developed and booked within days. Our adventure trip to Costa Rica was one of the best vacations we have ever experienced!
The trip was unbelievably great, excellent in all respects. Miriam did a wonderful job of pre-planning and following up with us during and after the trip.
Miriam did a terrific job of communicating and lining up the tickets and transportation for the events we requested. She was extremely accessible so that if we did have a question, concern or issue she was readily available to help.
Our two week vacation to the UK and Ireland was well worth it. Excellent company! The company's information pages and daily itineraries made us feel very confident that we were in good hands and could travel anywhere. Thanks Miriam for a memorable experience!
Our trip organized by Miriam was OUTSTANDING. Huge kudos to her for her knowledge of the areas we wanted to visit, her attention to detail, and ability to stay within our budget for an incredibly memorable trip!
Miriam was very helpful and efficient!!! Had a wonderful time with my family and really enjoyed this wonderful lady who was there for us in all of our needs. I really enjoyed our visit to Hawaii and really thinking about going back to this magnificent place, Miriam was on point and made our time there that much better...
The travel arrangements that Miriam made for my private group, from air travel to the tour to the National Parks, was perfect and wonderful. The Tour Guide was also amazing.
Expertly crafted itineraries, tailored around you.
