My Travel Style
As a former expat with a decade of living abroad, I've cultivated a deep connection with the vibrant cultures of South America, Asia and Europe. I expertly navigate any destination in which I find myself, uncovering culinary treasures from bustling street vendors to exquisite ten-course feasts — and curating stays in stunning hotels that embody local charm. I believe every journey is a unique adventure, and I’m here to design meticulously crafted itineraries that let you simply relax and savor the experience.

Carolyn was incredibly responsive, detail oriented, helpful, transparent, and most importantly she put up with my inane and repetitive questions with the utmost patience. Despite the numerous changes I made to my itinerary, Carolyn was there to make quick trip recommendations and itinerary changes on the fly making this trip seamless for me. Not only did she organize my 10-day trip to Antarctica, but she helped me build an itinerary for an additional 10 days in Argentina. I cannot thank Carolyn enough for all the time and dedication she put in to make sure my trip was a memorable one.
Since returning, I've had numerous people ask me about how to book a trip to Antarctica and I will be sure to recommend Carolyn should they need an effortless experience through a qualified travel agent. Highly recommend!

Working with Carolyn was the best choice we could have made for planning our honeymoon! She took the time to understand our style and pace of travel, our preferences, and interests to help us craft a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. She recommended places we never would have found on our own and made the logistics of a monthlong, 3 country, 9 stop trip to the other side of the world feel easy — no small feat. Even knowing where to begin was totally overwhelming but after sharing our top priorities, she was able to create an itinerary that checked all of our boxes and added line items we never would have known about! If you’re a traveler who prioritizes beautiful scenery, great food and wine experiences, and luxurious but unique stays - I can’t recommend Carolyn highly enough.

Our booking experience with Carolyn was fabulous! Carolyn was receptive, attentive and timely. Once we made our decision. The process of uploading our payment information and details was very smooth. Carolyn was able to give us some insights about the area and things that we might need to think about while traveling to Budapest.

Carolyn was so kind and helpful through the entire booking and planning process. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. I appreciated what seemed to be insider information when it came to details on board and excursions that were offered. I highly recommend Carolyn for any or all vacation needs big or small. Thank you for all your help.
