I specialize in river cruising and custom-crafted itineraries, designing seamless, unforgettable journeys tailored just for you. Whether you're dreaming of sailing Europe’s scenic waterways or exploring a destination in depth with a unique, personalized itinerary, I’ll handle the details—so you can focus on the experience. Let’s start planning your next adventure!
As a dedicated travel advisor, I specialize in two key areas of travel planning: river cruising and custom-crafted itineraries designed just for you.
With extensive expertise in river cruising, I help travelers navigate the best routes, ships, and experiences—whether it’s a leisurely sail through Europe’s historic waterways, an immersive journey along the Mekong, or a scenic cruise through America’s heartland. I ensure every detail, from shore excursions to onboard amenities, aligns with your travel style.
Beyond cruising, I excel in designing unique, tailor-made itineraries that go beyond the ordinary. Whether it’s a family adventure, a multigenerational getaway, or a cultural deep dive into a new destination, I curate experiences that blend iconic sights with hidden gems, local flavors, and seamless logistics.
Let’s craft your next unforgettable journey—whether by river or by land.

Planning an awesome trip starts with good communication. We'll chat about what you want from your travels, what parts of planning you enjoy (or don't!), and how we can team up to make your trip unforgettable.
Your first 30-minute chat won't cost a dime. It's a chance for us to see if we're a good match and for you to see what we can do for you.
If we click, by the end of our chat, we will give you a rough idea of what our planning services will cost. You'll get a detailed breakdown withyour first itinerary. We ask for a $100 commitment fee at that point. Paying this lets us know you're ready to roll, and to get cracking on your plans!
For budgeting, we usually charge around $50 per day of your trip that I plan. So, for a two-week Euro trip, you're looking at around $300 to $400 (plus the $100 commitment fee).
Looking for a unique and memorable gift this year? Consider giving the gift of travel! Instead of more “stuff,” give your loved ones the chance to create lifelong memories, explore new places, and experience different cultures. Whether it's a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a solo escape, a travel gift certificate offers the ultimate flexibility—your recipient chooses when and where to go.
Contact me to learn more about personalized travel gift certificates. Together, we can make this holiday season unforgettable with a gift that lasts far beyond the festivities!

We can’t thank you enough for everything. We took advantage of nearly all of your recommendations and it was so great to just consult the itinerary every day, pick an option without decision fatigue, and head on out to spend the day exploring.
We will definitely share our experience working with your with friends and will be sure to hit you up for the next getaway!
We had SUCH a fabulous time. We both felt extremely well-prepared and still with plenty of freedom to change gears. We loved the hotel — very comfy and friendly with excellent breakfasts and the convenience of having the tube station right across the street shouldn't be minimized. Massively convenient. Thank you for all of your guidance.
I just wanted to let you know what a terrific job you have been doing for our family and we are so so very pleased with everything you have helped us with.
Given we are new to cruising, we had so many many questions, and you never failed to follow up and did so quickly. And we changed our minds a lot, which made it rather confusing for you.
Your suggestions were really helpful and we could tell you really knew what you were doing.
We will gladly recommend you to our friends and family if they are looking for travel help.
We had the most amazing time and I can't thank you enough for all your help! Everything went so smoothly, it was a dream.
My family really put her through it, and she never lost her compassion and willingness to work hard to make an amazing trip for my family! I cannot recommend her enough!
We booked a few of our own elements, while Nicole put together lodging and most of our transportation between multiple locations in Switzerland and Italy. She kept us updated with changes, and the app we used for accessing our itinerary was so convenient. Her advice and suggestions were great! Thanks, Nicole!
