My client and her 18 year old son wanted to do a mother-son trip to a place he had a lot of interest in -- Norway! He wanted to learn more about Viking culture, see the fjords and landscapes, and experience a bit of Norwegian culture.

This family of 5 wanted to get some adventurous activities in but also have some time relaxing on a beach. Costa Rica is an excellent location to do just that! Bonus: the mom is a Spanish teacher, so she can speak the language fluently and get even more immersed in the culture of the area!

My client wanted to surprise his wife for her birthday with an awesome trip reminiscent of one they took before they had kids. They'd done small ship sailing off the coast of Mexico & Belize, but wanted to explore a bit of the Aegean Sea as well as see some of the ancient historical sites in Türkiye. The ship they will sail on will have a maximum of 17 passengers, making it a super intimate experience where everyone will be friends by the end. This is a unique way to experience sailing, and is not terribly expensive either!

These three friends wanted to experience the culture of Japan by splitting their time between Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. They'd always had an interest in it, and one of them had gone years before and stayed in hostels, but they decided that they have moved far beyond youth hostels and capsule hotels for this trip.

These clients are a family coming from 3 cities in South Dakota. They wanted a roadtrip experience that wasn't too far away but that allowed for ample activities for everyone: grandparents, parents, and kids. As they lived in opposite ends of South Dakota, the range for how far away they wanted to go was fairly narrow, but in the end they decided upon the Fair Hills Resort in Detroit Lakes, MN.

This couple had a long bucket list of places they wanted to check out in Australia, but knew all of it wouldn't be possible. They wanted to maximize their time there, and called in a professional (hey, that's me!) to help figure out what was feasible and what would have to wait for another trip. They're going to have such a great time there!

This particular client reached out to me with a request to visit Colombia, as he has been learning Spanish and wants to put himself in a position where he has to use what he's learned. His tutor is from Colombia, so he thought this would be a good first trip to take to Latin America. He didn't have too much time off work approved, so we fit in his trip into 5 days, not counting travel days on either end.

These clients realized that for their honeymoon, they wanted to go as far away that they may never get back to. Rio ended up being what the selected, and I think they'll have a grand time.

This client came to me feeling like she was a bit behind in planning her trip, due to a misunderstanding with a previous travel agent she had been working with who ended up not being able to help her plan her custom itinerary and cost her a few months' time. Lucky for her, this very unique trip is exactly my cup of tea! Her trip revolves around tickets to Taylor Swift that she'd secured for her family, and wanting to expose the kids to the culture of Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, Zürich, the Amalfi Coast, and Rome!

My client and her sister wanted to take their parents to Ireland, as their mother is 3/4 Irish and has always wanted to go see her ancestral lands. On a previous vacation they experienced Germany which was Dad's heritage, but now it's Mom's time!

These clients are celebrating their two kids graduating high school with a big trip to Europe. Their son is very into World War II history, while their daughter loves good architecture and historic places. I think they definitely picked three cities that will fit that bill!

My clients have previously taken escorted tours of the UK and Iceland, but this time wanted to join a tour group that was closer to home. They had been wanting to see the natural beauty found in the canyonlands of the Southwest, and this itinerary ended up as the winner!

When you think of spring break destinations, I'm guessing you think of something warm and tropical. Often I get requests for Mexico, Jamaica, or the Dominican Republic as the flights tend to be easy from Minnesota and the rest of the frozen tundra. This year I've gotten several spring break requests to more unique destinations like St. Lucia!

This family was referred to me by another lovely client (thank you for referrals!) and they wanted to spend their kids' Spring Break in London & Paris. As they wanted to ensure they made the most of their time there, they opted for private tours for many of their activities.

A previous client of mine contacted me to inquire if I could help. She had a complex trip to plan, with 8 people who came from 5 different airports going to a warm weather destination for a long weekend in January. She wasn't quite sure how to do this on her own, and frankly, didn't want to take the great amount of time needed to figure it out herself. She knew I could help and indeed I can!

This client had recently had her position eliminated at her job and wanted to capitalize on her time away from work to see some of the world. The one catch was that it was very short notice - less than 2 months of planning time! Her wishes were: to be somewhere that she would not have to speak another language to survive, not to pack up her suitcase too often during the trip, and for beautiful landscape and scenery. An Avalon river cruise along the lower Danube was just the ticket!

I love a good repeat client, and this family is no exception! They've had me plan travel for them before, but this time they're heading over the Atlantic to check off some amazing sites from their bucketlists. From Giza to Rome to the Amalfi coast, they'll be seeing a lot in their 11 days! And included in the 11 days is their layover in Paris - with a long enough span to go into the city briefly!

This family came to me wanting a once in a lifetime trip, where the boys could ATV through the jungle, check out waterfalls, zip line, and do all kinds of adrenaline inducing activities. They had their eyes on Costa Rica, and it delivered this amazing itinerary, split between jungle and beach!

These clients decided to do a honey-fund for their wedding, having guests contribute to their honeymoon budget. They wanted to spend the majority of their time in London, as the groom had studied abroad there in college and he wanted to share some of his memories with his new bride. They also wanted to explore Edinburgh's art festival, and of course, check out the Eiffel Tower while in Paris.

This family of five came to me with a great 3-year plan - they wanted to explore somewhere in South America this year, and then someplace in Africa and Asia in the following two years. For South America, they were really feeling Brazil was just the ticket - specifically wanting to experience Rio de Janeiro and Iguazu Falls.
