I have cruised the Caribbean, Alaska and Mediterranean waters, rode trains across Europe and snorkeled in the Bahamas. One of my favorite places is Napa Valley. Next stop Argentina to learn the tango…

Expert Bio
In 1997, I bought a farmhouse and moved to Tuscany. What adventures I have had! I’ve always had a passion for travel and new faces and have been blessed with the opportunity to see the world. I’ve experienced camel rides in the Canary Islands, dinner with the aborigines in Australia, native dancing in St. Petersburg and summer cruises from Denmark to Sweden to Finland to Russia when the sun never set. There was also something terribly romantic about having a glass bottomed hut in Bora Bora and watching the fish swim under the bed. I have been fortunate to have had these experiences both in the luxury mode and the “fly by your seat” method, and honestly, both have their pluses. There’s an art to travel and have a customized vacation plan according to your desires. It’s great fun to have all the little special details and nuances laid out, but it’s also great to just have a map and sit at a small café and watch the people pass by.
Now I’m back in the States and would love to share my experiences with you. Whether you want to drive, fly, sail or bike through Europe—or over the Golden Gate Bridge- I would love to help you make that vacation special.
