I’ve traveled across Argentina with the same care I use to plan it—for myself and for clients....
I’ve traveled across Argentina with the same care I use to plan it—for myself and for clients. What makes this country stand out isn’t just the landscape or food, but how each region offers something distinct. I’ve walked the boulevards of Buenos Aires, cruised the Tigre Delta by private boat, stayed at working estancias on the Pampas, and sipped high-altitude Malbecs with winemakers in Mendoza. This itinerary wasn’t pulled from a brochure—it was built from firsthand experience.In Buenos Aires, I arrange private tours that adapt to my clients’ interests—whether that’s architecture, history, or simply a local café crawl. I recommend neighborhoods like Recoleta not just because they’re central, but because I know where to find a quiet aperitif before a steakhouse dinner, or a cultural walk that ends in a tucked-away cocktail bar.When it comes to the Pampas, I don’t send clients to generic ranches. I’ve stayed at La Bamba de Areco, a Relais & Châteaux property that still hosts working gauchos and polo teams. I’ve toured artisan workshops in San Antonio de Areco, spoken with silversmiths, and shared empanadas at century-old cafés. That depth is what I bring to each trip.In Mendoza, I’ve personally stayed at Susana Balbo Winemaker’s House and designed days that combine rest with rich experiences—like a private 4x4 wine tour through Uco Valley followed by a multi-course lunch overlooking the Andes. I know which wineries require advanced booking, which guides actually enhance the visit, and how to balance wine tasting with scenic drives and downtime.Traveling in Argentina requires knowing how and when to move—especially with flight connections and long distances between regions. I handle all of that. Flights into regional airports like Mendoza or Montevideo are timed for comfort and efficiency. Private drivers are arranged not just for convenience but because it allows my clients to see more, with less stress.This is a country that rewards travelers who go beyond the surface—and my job is to build those kinds of trips. Whether it’s your first time in South America or your fifth, I help you travel Argentina in a way that feels personal, well-paced, and grounded in real insight.If you’re looking for more than just a hotel and a list of stops, I’d be glad to help.

If you are planning a vacation that is adventurous and challenging, the Mount Kilimanjaro trek can be...
If you are planning a vacation that is adventurous and challenging, the Mount Kilimanjaro trek can be an excellent option. This mountain has been the source of inspiration for many writers, poets, musicians and painters. And now it’s your turn to experience this source of natural beauty in person! I can help you plan this exciting pursuit, as I know everything there is to know as a travel agent professional for this amazing trip. Mount Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered peak that is found on the East African Rift. It is also referred to as ‘The Roof of Africa’ or ‘The Great White Hope’ because of its white glaciers and snow-capped peaks. It has five primary centers: Kibo, Mawe, Machame, Maundi and Iroki. As soon as you reach Kilimanjaro National Park, you’ll enter a completely different world from what you have ever experienced.. Here everything is about nature; you will feel as if you are disconnected from the rest of the world and all your worries have gone away for good. Mount Kilimanjaro is notable, as it’s the tallest peak in Africa and one of the highest peaks in the world. It’s an ideal place for anyone who is looking for once-in-a-lifetime experience. However, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is not as easy as you might imagine; you have to be physically fit to climb it. Most people who attempt the climb may give up at some point because of its grueling nature. But if you’re determined and ready for the challenge, then you won’t regret making the trek. The thrill of accomplishment Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the most beautiful mountains in the world. It’s also one of the few mountains where the climbing conditions are varied. That’s because the mountain is covered with snow and ice throughout most of the year. Therefore, the frozen ice and harsh weather are what make this mountain so difficult to climb. Fewer than 20% of climbers make it to the top of this mountain; most people stop at some point. So, if you make it to the summit, you’ll be one of the few to do so. Breathtaking views at the summit Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is an exciting experience because you’ll be able to see and experience breathtaking views at the summit - and along the way. The highest point of this mountain is Uhuru Peak, at 19,340 feet above sea level. At the summit, you can see the vast African landscape. Or, you can plan a park vacation and climb part of the way. During your journey, you’ll see animals like zebras and wildebeests. You’ll also get to see breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean and the surrounding African countries - like Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda. On the way up the mountain, you’ll have a chance to experience different climatic zones, like the alpine desert, alpine meadow, and heathland. Kilimanjaro is also a volcanic mountain. Seeing the sunrise from the top of the world Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a great way to see the sunrise from the top of the world. What a great experience to add to a bucket list! A physical and mental challenge Climbing this mountain is no walk in the park; it’s one of the most challenging outdoor adventures you’ll experience in life. You’ll have to trek through a lot of challenging conditions like extreme weather, high altitudes, or pass over unforgiving terrain. Again, you’ll be trekking through the rainforest, alpine desert, alpine meadow, and heathland. You’ll have to climb through the steep rocky terrain of Shira and Mawenzi mountains. It’s not an easy feat. Whether you plan to trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro or experience the natural wonders of Mt. Kilimanjaro National Park, I can plan an ideal vacation for you. Don’t let this opportunity slip you by. Let’s begin planning your African holiday! Give me a call now. As your travel agent advisor, I can help you create the perfect itinerary.
I truly feel lucky representing Ireland as a travel agent professional. Ireland is a great place to...
I truly feel lucky representing Ireland as a travel agent professional. Ireland is a great place to plan a holiday, as it offers both diversity and a uniqueness that can only be found in this part of the world. Ireland is a true gem when it comes to planning a getaway that is both interesting and memorable.Most travelers experience Ireland for the first time by landing in Dublin. Home to Trinity College , the cosmopolitan city of Dublin features attractions that are in the walking distance of most hotels. In 1592, Queen Elizabeth I created Trinity College, which holds the Book of Kells in its magnificent Old Library. The National Museum and the National Gallery are only a few blocks away from the college and give intriguing and thoughtful insights into Ireland's history. Plays by Irish greats like W.B.Yeats are performed at locations like the Abbey ,which was established by the poet himself. The "sunny southeast" is one of Ireland's most popular vacation destinations as well, thanks to its more consistent summer weather than the rest of the country. There is a nice 9.5-kilometer (6-mile) beach and an exceptional golf course in the port town of Rosslare. One of the most magnificent gardens in Ireland, the Italian Garden at Powerscourt, is at the foot of the Great Sugar Loaf Mountain and is surrounded by a series of terraced slopes. An ancient monastery built by St. Kevin in the 6th century, is found in the Wicklow Mountains of Ireland. Kerry and Cork feature colorful fishing villages and the Lakes of Killarney. Ireland's tall peaks and a long coastline combine to make this area one of the country's most beautiful. You also don’t want to miss one of Ireland's most famous tourist attractions - the Ring of Kerry, which encircles the Iveragh Peninsula. Central Kerry is home to the pristine Lakes of Killarney, which are a popular tourist attraction for the region's residents and visitors alike. There is a vibrant cultural scene in Cork, a charming riverfront city with meandering lanes and alleys. Visitors form a queue to kiss the Blarney Stone, which is said to bestow, when kissed, the gift of gab. It lies near the remains of Blarney Castle. Belfast is known for its vibrant nightlife scene as well.Today, travelers are rediscovering the area, which boasts Ireland's largest lake, Lough Neagh. In Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter, you'll find some of the city's best restaurants and architecture. Besides the rugged beauty of the Causeway Coast, the Giant's Causeway, a volcanic creation of basalt columns, is a stunning site to see. You also don’t want to miss seeing the colorful storefronts in Galway’s city center in Western Ireland. The Burren (rocky place), the majestic Cliffs of Moher, and early Christian towns dot the landscape of the Lower Shannon Valley. Before spilling into the sea,, the River Shannon passes through barren limestone and moist marshy ground. The wide Burren is a mysterious terrain with few trees while the Cliffs of Moher's startling 200-meter (650-foot) plummet is cloaked in fog. Once a fortress for Munster kings and subsequently for the Church of Ireland, the fifth-century Rock of Cashel stands on a prominent hilltop in Ireland’s West. Contradictions abound in the Western part of the country, which is home to rural regions as well as rocky shores and city centers. Many people in the area still speak Gaelic, or the Irish language, and the music and dance of the past are still very much alive. Peregrine falcons and semi-wild Connemara horses may be seen in the breathtaking setting of Connemara National Park. In the northwest, the Gaelic-speaking people live remotely. The stunning Slieve League Cliffs, which are best seen at sunset, are part of this unique and spectacular environment. Glenveagh National Park and Castle is worth a visit as is the beautiful Lough Veagh, which sits just beyond the park. Clonmacnoise's ruins and Newgrange's ancient burial site are located in the Midlands, tthe place that gave birth to Irish culture. Clonmacnoise Monastery, once a vibrant center of learning, is a tourist-visited ruin today. I can book travel near rivers that serve as homes to dolphins or arrange a resort vacation to the Emerald Isle. Whatever your dream travel plans, I will design an itinerary that you will love following. Allow me to use my skills and knowhow of Ireland to be your travel agent and advisor. Contact me now so we can plan your Irish holiday.

As a London travel agent professional, I plan trips that involve time travel - taking visitors to another place and time. Whether your visit lasts several days or a month, you will find that London will not disappoint. Not only can you see castles, museums, and galleries, you can visit historic residences and estates. Shopping is also upscale and many of the shops have been in existence for several hundred years. For example, I might arrange your trip so you begin the day with a shopping excursion. By starting in St. James Street and PIccadilly, you can visit top-shelf stores, such as Locker the hatter, Turnbull & Asser and New & Lingwood, who are the outfitters for Eton College. You might also drop in at the perfumer, Floris, which was established in 1789. The cheese shop, Paxton & Whitfield, has been selling specialty cheeses since 1740. If you crave a dessert, head to Fortnum & Mason through Piccadilly Arcade, and enjoy the icy treat at the store's Parlour restaurant. Or, I can arrange a trip where you begin your first day in Trafalgar Square when the National Gallery opens its doors. After spending time at the gallery, you might head toward the Portrait Restaurant for coffee, which is located on the top floor of the National Portrait Gallery next door. From there, you can see a great view of Trafalgar Square. You might visit the Houses of Parliament before you stop at magnificent Westminster Abbey the next day. Hopefully, the sun will shine, so you can enjoy a picnic lunch at St. James' Park. After fortifying yourself with a lunch or a quick repast, you could walk to Buckingham Palace, which is on the far side of the park. If you go during the summer, you can access the State Rooms and see the interesting displays. The Queen's Gallery in the palace, also features changing exhibits, so there is always something new to see. By the time it is tea time, you can amble past St. James' Palace to Piccadilly and find a cafe or patisserie. As your travel agent for London, I can also arrange an evening's entertainment by getting tickets for a West End show. If you love to window-shop, my recommendation is to walk through Burlington Arcade before resuming your journey up Old and New Bond Streets. These sites represent the smartest shopping addresses in London. One of London's top attractions is the Tower of London, so you definitely have to add it to your London itinerary. I can book tickets ahead of time so you can enter the attraction without hassle. It takes about two hours to visit the castle and admire the Crown Jewels on display. Good places to dine also can be found along Katharine Docks, next to the pleasure watercraft and yachts. You might also consider a walk along the Thames or plan to sail its waters. I love to plan London trips and tailor them to each client's likes and preferences. I hope I can do the same for you. Contact me by email or phone me so we can start planning your London holiday now.

The Maldives is an island nation made up of more than 1,200 individual islands in the Indian Ocean. Many of these islands are barely above sea level, making them among the most vulnerable to climate change and rising sea levels. Over time, many Maldivians have moved to nearby cities like the capital of Male to find work. Therefore, much of the country remains deserted and secluded. If you’re seeking peace and quiet, this is the place to go. The people are friendly, the beaches are gorgeous and it’s remote enough that you won’t see another tourist for miles around. As a Maldives travel agent specialist, I can promise you an idyllic island escape - one you won’t soon forget. Plus, only a small number of travelers visit this entracing country every year. If you’re thinking about adding it to your bucket list soon, do so now when you can make the perfect getaway. Indeed, the Maldives is home to some of the most beautiful islands in the world. Its sparkling blue waters, white sandy beaches, lush green landscapes, and lagoons have also made it a honeymooners’ paradise. Check out the amazing marine life The Maldives is home to a wide variety of aquatic life. Whether you are snorkeling or diving, you will spot some exotic marine creatures. You can find turtles, stingrays, various types of fish and even whales in the waters surrounding the islands. If you are lucky, you might even get to see dolphins frolicking in the blue waters. There are also many coral reefs in the Maldives. You can visit the Mohamed Thuru Reef and Coral Park to see the underwater world. Some resorts also have their own private reefs where you can snorkel and scuba dive. Swim in crystal clear water The marine life is not the only thing that makes the water in the Maldives beautiful. The water here is also crystal clear. Instead of rivers and lakes, the islands in this country get their water supply from the rainwater and underground springs. Therefore, you can easily see its colorful fish without having to use snorkeling or scuba diving gear. What is exciting about Maldives is its plans to build Maldives Floating City to fight the rising sea levels. The city will be established in a lagoon, close to the capital of Male. Because the city will float on the water, it will accommodate the rises in sea levels because of climate change. It will be the first floating city in the world. View a glorious sunset Another thing that makes the Maldives a perfect tourist destination is the glorious sunset that you can watch every day. While a sunset can be beautiful almost anywhere in the world, a Maldives sunset is worth traveling thousands of miles to see.

Thailand is a magical country with breathtaking scenery, friendly locals and delicious food. It’s not surprising that it continues to attract an ever-increasing number of tourists each year. Its tropical climate, beaches and rainforests are just some of its natural wonders which continue to make Thailand an appealing holiday destination. That is why I love representing Thailand as a travel agent professional. I love making people’s travel dreams come true. Thailand is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia and with good reason. It’s home to an abundance of natural beauty, fascinating culture and cuisine, and, again, to some of the friendliest people you could ever meet. The country sees a high volume of tourists throughout the year, but it still remains an extremely hot destination from June to September. So, I often plan travel to the country when the weather is more temperate, or when the activities allow travelers to cool off from the humidity and heat. The Weather in Thailand The weather in Thailand is tropical year round. Thailand’s coastal areas enjoy warm temperatures throughout the year and usually remain above 70°F even during the winter months. In contrast, the mainland experiences more extreme weather conditions. Thailand’s rainy season usually lasts from May to October, but it varies by location. During this time, it’s common to see a lot of rain, especially in the southern parts of the country. Therefore, I can plan a trip for you that takes the weather into account, so you can enjoy your visit - whenever you plan to go. The Culture Shock Visiting Thailand can be an eye-opening experience. The country welcomes millions of tourists each year, but Thailand has a very different culture from what we are used to in the United States. Nevertheless, that is what makes visiting Thailand a unique and wonderful experience. It allows you to see the world from another perspective. Visit the Floating Market, attend a Muay Thai fight, or learn how to use chopsticks from a Thai chef. These are just some of the many activities that make for an exciting trip. Escorted Tours in Thailand I frequently suggest taking an escorted tour if you’ve never visited Thailand. These tours are designed to make your trip easy, convenient, and enjoyable. There are many escorted tours in Thailand, so I can find one that is ideal for you. Tours are also designed for different durations, so you can choose one that matches your schedule and travel preferences. Why Now is a Good Time to See Thailand There are many reasons why now is a good time to visit Thailand. Here are some of them: (1) Thailand is a top honeymoon destination. (2) The value of the Thai Baht against the US dollar has remained relatively stable in recent years. This makes the country more affordable for American tourists. (3) Thailand, together with its neighbors in Southeast Asia, is experiencing a tourism boom. There are more people visiting the region than ever before. The country is also working on new attractions and events to attract even more tourists. Top Places to visit in Thailand
(1) Bangkok - This is the best place to start your trip. Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand and the country’s most populated area. It is also one of the most visited cities in the region.
(2) Koh Samui -
Koh Samui is an island just off the coast of Thailand and a popular tourist escape.
(3) Chiang Mai -

The Golden Circle is the perfect way to see the best of Iceland’s natural attractions.Icelandic Horses: Horse Jumping and Horse Riding One of the most iconic images of Iceland are the beautiful Icelandic Horses. These horses are a Viking breed that have been roaming the Icelandic countryside for centuries. You can see these horses all over the country, and many of them even live on farms. Many Icelandic Horse farms offer horse jumping tours, where you can see these amazing animals jump over obstacles like a horse would in a show ring. There are also many Icelandic Horse farms that offer horseback riding tours. This is a great way to see the beautiful countryside of Iceland in a unique way.
Seeing the Northern Lights in Iceland
Iceland has excellent conditions for viewing the Northern Lights. In fact, it’s one of the best places in the world to see them. During certain times of the year, they’re almost guaranteed to appear.. If you want to see them, I suggest you take a tour that will direct you to an area that has a level of light pollution.

Many people might go to well-known places, such as Spain or France, but do not consider countries, such as Poland. Poland offers a wealth of sites and attractions - fairytale places inviting discovery. As your Poland travel agent professional, I can direct you to those idyllic spots.For centuries, Poland was a landlocked country between the East and West parts of Europe, yet its history has given rise to an intriguing, pleasant and refreshingly unusual combination of the past and present. The architecture, food, culture, and sights of each area are unique. Many beautiful examples of Gothic and Renaissance architecture may be seen across Poland. For example, Wawel Hill, a symbol of national power and pride, overlooks the historic Old Town. Located in central Krakow, The Wawel Royal Castle was the first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sitting around an Italian-designed courtyard, the castle was commissioned by King Casmir III the Great.You can travel to Poland anytime of the year and find it a fascinating destination. For example, the Polish winter capital Zakopane was a popular getaway for artists and intellectuals at the start of the 20th century. Today, it draws thousands of skiers. You can see many cities and towns that have been preserved historically. For instance, an ideal example of Renaissance living is the sixteenth-century town of Zamo, which does not appear much different than when it was built. Warsaw, which was entirely annihilated during the Second World War has been rebuilt according to 13th-century architectural standards. The nightlife is fun and lively in this Old World European city. Even though it was founded by three mill owners in the 1800s and is home to several intriguing museums, the city of Lodz remains almost unexplored by tourists. Also, if you want to see some grand and inspiring architecture, make plans to see Pozna, whose churches are among Poland's most beautiful buildings. Kórnik Island's Neo-Gothic castle is also a great day trip for architectural lovers. Gdansk is the birthplace of Solidarity leader, Lech Walesa. The unemployed Gdansk shipyard worker leaped over a fence in 1980 and made a speech that marked the beginning of the collapse of Communism. The "Roads to Freedom" exhibition in Gdansk tells the tale of Walesa and the Solidarity movement. The dissident, Lech Walesa, was a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who was Poland’s President from 1990 to 1995. After winning the election as President, the statesman become the first democratic leader since 1926.Gdansk, which is a port city on the Baltic coast, was founded in 997 A.D. The town was reconstructed after the Second World War and now features the vibrant buildings of Long Market made up of restaurants and shops. The seventeenth century Nepture Fountain displays a bronze statue of the sea god Gdansk.Toru, the city where Nicolaus Copernicus was born, is also well-known for being the legendary birthplace of the gingerbread cookie. If you want to find a place to relax, I recommend the beach resort of Sopot, which is a popular destination for sunbathers and the unofficial summer capital .If you want more peace and quiet, Kashubia is a pleasant hillside and lake retreat. The Kashubians have their own culture and distinct language. Eastern Poland is also worth seeing, as it features tranquil harbors and small villages. On the country’s Baltic coast is also sleepy Frombork, where astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus spent most of his life.Zlotoryjasits on the banks of the gold-rich Kaczawa River. Try your luck at panning, then visit the Gold Museum or watch the experts at the International Gold Panning Championships. If you enjoy hiking, the majestic Klodzko Valley is criss-crossed with trails featuring ancient churches and castles, and is famed for its mineral waters. A natural paradise for hikers, the valley covers an area of 312,685 square kilometers or 120,696 sq miles. It is located in the center of Europe. It borders Lithuania, Belarus and the Ukraine to the east, Slovakia and the Czech Republic to the south, and Germany to the west. Poland has a population of 38.6 million people, making it the eighth most highly populated country in Europe. While I can give you all the stats about Poland, you really have to see the country yourself to appreciate its people and attractions. As your travel agent advisor for Poland, I want to provide you with a dream vacation to Poland - one that you can share with Facebook or Instagram friends and family. Give me a call or email me now and let’s begin planning your holiday.
If you want to travel to a fun country - one that is both exciting to discover...
If you want to travel to a fun country - one that is both exciting to discover and historically important, you will find what you’re seeking in Denmark. As your Denmark travel agent specialist, I can open up doors for you that have never been opened before.Most people relate Denmark to author, Hans Christian Anderson, and the intrepid Vikings. Born in Denmark in 1805, Hans Christain Andersen invented the writing of eventyrs - fantastic adventures or fairy tales. The author also wrote travelogues, novels, poems, and plays. His tales transcend age and cultural boundaries and have been translated in 125 languages. Andersen wrote Thumbelina in 1835 and The Little Mermaid in 1836. He also wrote The Princess and the Pea in 1835 and The Emperor’s New Clothes in 1837.You might enjoy one of Andersen’s tales while lounging on one of Denmark’s beaches or relive some of the sagas while exploring ancient structures and awe-inspiring landscapes. Denmark’s major city, Copenhagen, features world-class institutions and a vibrant cultural scene.The Danish countryside is also dotted with old churches, palaces, and castles. Viking ruins can be found in the country, including earlier remnants, such as Stone Age dolmens. In rural regions, you often will see local farmers selling their produce along the roadside. Denmark’s national flag, the Dannebrog, is the world’s largest banner, and flies during state ceremonies to show the country’s national pride. According to folk tales, the banner ,which features a white cross on a red backdrop, symbolizes a combat between the Danish knights and the Estonians during the early thirteenth century. The banner is so loved that the Danes fly it during all types of celebrations, even birthdays.The monarchy of Denmark is also the world’s oldest. However, the country’s constitution limits the monarchy’s ability to exert its influence in political affairs. Copenhagen’s changing of the guars rivals the changing of the guard in England and the country’s Little Mermaid Statue is a Copenhagen icon and national gem. One place I suggest you visit while in Denmark is the Kronborg Castle, given the name Elsinore in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The perfect example of a Renaissance fortress, ground was broken for the structure in 1574 where the borders of Denmark and Sweden converge. For centuries, the castle held state celebrations and protected the Danes against attack. Currently, the landmark is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Denmark. A favorite guided tour is called Hamlet’s Footsteps. Kronsberg Castle and the Little Mermaid Statue are only a sampling of what Denmark offers visitors. Whether you wish to relax at a resort, spend time in the country, or get immersed in history, you will find what you are seeking in this captivating northern country.As your travel agent specialist for Denmark, I want to make your trip memorable. Give me a call or email me now so we can design the ideal itinerary.

In Stockholm you will find many museums, including some of the most iconic ones in all of Scandinavia such as: Vasa Museum (the world’s best preserved 17th century ship), Nobel Museum (memorializing Alfred Nobel, inventor of dynamite), National museum (Sweden's national museum for art), Skansen Kronan (a military museum) and Nordic Museum (an ethnographic museum).8.

Wyoming is a special place in the U.S. Not only can you find plenty to do in the Great Outdoors, you can retreat to resorts that provide a rustic type of luxury. It is simply one of the best places to plan a western vacation. That is why I enjoy serving clients as a Wyoming and Jackson Hole travel agent professional. I often point clients toward Jackson Hole, as it is home to some beautiful sites and offers plenty to do in both the summer and winter. For example, the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is one of the top places to ski in the U.S. Found in a secluded corner of Wyoming, this off-the-beaten track accommodation is the ideal place to take to the slopes. The Western feel of the locale and incredible terrain and scenery can't be beat. While Yellowstone National Park sits about an hour away from the town of Jackson or the Jackson Hole area, you don't want to forget Grand Teton National Park. Not only will you delight in seeing the Teton Range in all its glory, you can hike, kayak, rock-climb, run trails, backpack, or swim in this smaller nature preserve. The area is also a draw for rafters who like to sail over the Snake River. During your journey, you will see wildlife, such as moose, otters, beavers, and osprey. Views of the Snake River Canyon and the hills of Grey's National Forest will always stay etched in your memory. I think one fun expedition to take is a snowmobile trip to Granite Hot Springs during the winter. The hot spring is pure therapy for anyone who wants to relax after skiing or hiking. The surrounding views of the Swift Creek Pass and Gros Ventre mountains, plus the wildflowers in the summer, make this trip a highlight of a Wyoming vacation. If you enjoy camping, Wyoming offers plenty of spots in which to enjoy the activity, especially in the summer and fall. Whether you wish to camp closer to town or find a backcountry spot, you will find the activity a nice respite from your usual daily activities. Besides camping, there is always biking, fly-fishing, and snow-shoeing to do. I also like to suggest that travelers visit the National Elk Refuge. Not only can you see elk up close, you can admire the setting sun behind the Grand Teton Range. Indeed, Wyoming has no shortage of beautiful places to visit or things to do. That is why, as your travel agent and advisor, I would like to plan the perfect Wyoming holiday for you. Won't you call me about a Wyoming vacation today? The sooner you begin planning, the sooner you can begin your holiday.
Greece is a great country to represent as a travel agent specialist, as it is the birthplace...
Greece is a great country to represent as a travel agent specialist, as it is the birthplace of philosophy, astronomy, democracy, and mathematics. Ancient Greeks came up with these ideas in places, such as the Acropolis, thousands of years ago. When you travel to Greece then, it is like taking a trip back thousands of years, exploring ancient ruins and seeing the artefact's on display in galleries and museums. For many people who travel to Greece, the trip represents a journey to the origins of western culture. Athens has a long history, established in the 5th century. Today, almost 4 million people call the city home. While there is urban sprawl, the city has made an effort to pedestrianize the metropolis. Needless to say, you can't go to Greece without seeing Athens, as it serves as the starting point for a wonderful Greek vacation. One of the great places to visit away from the hub, is Peloponnese, the Greek peninsula, and the islands of Santorini and Mykonos. I often book honeymoons and couple vacations to Santornini, as it fits better with these types of holidays. Mykonos has lovely golden sand beaches while Santorini features red or black volcanic rocks and pebbles. Greece is also the home of Greek mythology, so I cannot plan a trip without suggesting a visit to Mount Olympus - probably one of the most famous mountains worldwide. To climb the illustrious peak, you will need to travel to LItochoro where you can hike a portion of the way or completely to the top, depending on your fitness level. While climbing Mount Olympus, you'll, no doubt, think about the stories associated with the slope, which is also the mythological site of the throne of Zeus and the spot where Hades controlled the underworld.Another adventure-packed day can be experienced in Greece as well at Lake Plastira. Although the body of water is man made, it does not make it any less magnificent. Centered among chestnuts and oaks, the lake invites visitors to canoe, raft, hike the trails, or go horseback riding. The lake is located in the Larditsa region of the country.If you have dreamed of visiting Greece, I can, as your travel agent advisor, help you plan a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Give me a call or email me today so we can start planning your trip right away.

Besides the northern lights and fjords, Norway offers a delectable selection of mouth-watering foods - foods that you probably have not tried before. Because Norweigans love adventure, food is no exception. For example, every residential Norwegian forages, and you can do the same as well on your Norway holiday. That is why I often suggest that travelers visiting Norway go on a foraging tour in August or September. That is when the hedgerows are in full bloom and prized porcini mushrooms can be easily found. However, never pick mushrooms without a guide to help. That is why a foraging tour is a must-do activity. You can also pick dew-sparkling amber berries, cloudberries, and lingonberries in places such as Hardangervidda and Rondane. Also, Husmanskost is a hearty and inviting lunch you will love - open sandwiches that feature sourdough or rye bread, topped with charcuterie, veggies, or seafood. You can savor the cuisine in places, such as the Havariet Bistro in Oslofjord. Classic dinner dishes include unique and succulent foods, such as elk meatballs and reindeer stew, also called finnbiff. Enjoy these evening staples in places, such as the Elgustua Guesthouse in East Norway. When you eat that type of delicious food, you will need to find ways to work off the calories, and Norway has plenty of activities in which you can take part. One of the popular activities of the country, naturally, is skiing. The word, "ski," itself comes from the Old Norse language. Many Norweigans assert that they had skis on their feet when they were born. Therefore, if you want to ski, you will find Norway to be a skiers paradise. You can hit the powder in winter or ski down a glacier during the summer. An exciting adventure always waits in this cold yet warm Scandinavian country. I would like to serve as your travel agent planner for Norway, as I know you will love your trip, regardless of when you choose to travel. Give me a call so we can go over all the exciting details now!

We recently worked with Stoddard Brown at Travel Leaders for our trip to Phuket, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, everything was effortlessly organized the logistics were smooth, and every transfer and detail was taken care of. Stoddard booked us into a stunning 5-star resort in Phuket that exceeded all expectations in both service and setting. It was the perfect blend of luxury and relaxation. He also gave us fantastic recommendations for our time in Bangkok from where to stay to where to eat and explore. His local knowledge and curated suggestions made the entire trip feel personalized and stress-free. We cant thank Stoddard enough and will definitely be working with him again for future adventures!
Stoddard planned an outstanding journey through Argentina that balanced culture, nature, food, and comfort with perfect pacing. From the moment we landed in Buenos Aires, every detail was handled, from private transfers and expert local guides to well-chosen hotels that reflected the character of each destination. The itinerary flowed seamlessly, with immersive city tours, a peaceful stay at a historic estancia in the Pampas, and unforgettable wine tasting in Mendozas Uco Valley. What stood out most was how thoughtful and personal each part of the trip felt. In Buenos Aires, we explored the Recoleta neighborhood like locals. At La Bamba de Areco, we were immersed in gaucho traditions without feeling like tourists. And in Mendoza, we didnt just visit wineries, but we met the people behind the labels, enjoyed gourmet pairings, and had time to relax in a private winemakers estate. Every transition from flights to excursions was smooth, and we never had to worry about logistics. Stoddards knowledge of Argentina and his attention to detail made the trip not only memorable, but effortless. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore South America in comfort and style.
Stoddard and his team did an incredible job. Traditionally my wife and I have planned and booked all of our own vacation. In the past we have really enjoyed that process, however, he did so much better than we could have ever done. He knew the location of our trip well, set up everything in all the right ways. We had no problems at any point in the trip. He knew things ahead of time, like ideal room location at the resort, that we could never have known. We plan to use him in the future -- the value he adds in the planning process is undeniable.
Slovenia completely blew us away. From the fairytale beauty of Lake Bled to the caves and vineyards we explored, everything was just&wow. Stoddard found us great local guides and these cozy boutique hotels that made it all feel so personal. Its such an underrated countrywere already talking about going back.
Bergen was so charming, even in the rain. We loved wandering the old wharf and taking the funicular up to the overlook. Stoddard made everything seamless, from our fjord cruise to the hotel right by the harbor. It was a perfect intro to Norwaycolorful, cozy, and full of character.
Ive skied all over, but nothing compares to Zermatt. The Matterhorn views, the perfectly groomed runs, the cozy alpine hotelseverything was top tier. Stoddard handled all the logistics so we could just focus on the fun (and the fondue). He even got us a room with a balcony facing the mountain. Incredible.
Walking the old city walls at sunset was honestly one of the most beautiful travel moments Ive ever had. Stoddard booked us a hotel just outside the gates with killer views, and we had a private guide who brought all the history to life. Dubrovnik is every bit as stunning as people saymaybe more.
We were looking for an escape - somewhere warm, quiet, and beautiful - and wow did Stoddard deliver. Seychelles was unreal. The resort had insane ocean views, the beaches were practically empty, and we didnt lift a finger. He handled everything so we could just be. Best vacation weve ever had, hands down.
I needed a break, and Stoddard totally got that. He booked me into this stunning old manor house in the Cotswoldsthink gardens, fireplaces, and homemade sconesand everything was just& peaceful. It felt like a real escape. I came back so refreshed.
