Travel style
From a high seas adventure on a ship crossing the Atlantic at nineteen to a technology sales career that took me to Europe and Taiwan early on, I've taken full advantage of opportunities to explore this fascinating world in Economy, Business and First Class. But after more than 25 trips to Europe, if I could be anywhere right this minute, it would be on a high speed Frecciarossa train in Italy sipping a 'Caffe Normale' while watching the fascinating scenery go by.
France and Italy are regular destinations for my wife and I due to the food, wine, culture, and hospitality, but you can also have a bit of Europe here in the US without needing a passport by heading for Napa and Sonoma Valleys. My philosophies are simple - book the trip, travel well, spend the extra money on upgraded flights and accommodations, and put the phone down so you can take it all in and experience your travel partner(s) and the magical locations you've worked so hard to get to.

Kent's reviews
Kent was wonderful to work with. Friendly, super knowledgeable, timely, and he provided numerous options for the week away. Wildflower Farms was one of the best experiences we've had and we travel consistently in the US, Italy, and France. I look forward to working with Kent again. Fabulous experience!
