About
Hiking and nature enthusiast with a love of visiting wine regions around the world.
Travel style
You can usually find me on a hiking trail or doing something in nature. But, by evening, I want to relax and be pampered — find me a pool or jacuzzi, a nice glass of wine and a gorgeous view. After the privilege of enjoying over 20 years as a university professor and administrator, I look forward to transforming from travel hobbyist to travel advisor. With even more tools at my fingertips, I am excited to meet new friends and send them on their dream trips.

Carol's reviews
Carol went above and beyond to ensure our trip was a success. She was able to get us some great perks with the hotel.

Carol was absolutely phenomenal in helping planning my trip. A lot of my trip was solo and she made sure to have the right activities and hotels planned so I would have fun and feel safe. Communication was clear, she listened to my interests, and really helped plan an incredible trip for me. I will look to Carol again for my next trip!

Carol listened to our needs and found us a great hotel. Free brunch, $100 hotel credit, and a welcome fruit plate in our room upon arrival are all extras that booking with Carol included. I have and will continue to work with Carol for my out-of-town reservations.
