MEET CAROL - OUR FOUNDER
I have traveled extensively all my life. Those experiences have brought me and my husband a lot of wonderful memories of the time spent together all over the world. That's why I got into this business – to help people experience the world in the best way possible.
I have expertise in several areas: European Travel, River Cruises, Small Ship cruising and travel to Antarctica and the Arctic regions.
I am especially passionate about polar travel. As an Antarctica travel expert I not only know how to book Antarctica travel but which options are best as well as which Antarctica travel options should be passed by. Traveling to Antarctica and the polar regions myself several times had given me an insight into booking these regions that few others that say they are and Antarctica travel agent can match.

MEET LAUREN - TRAVEL SPECIALIST
I love going as far and wide as I can and seeing and experiencing different parts of the world. At heart, I'm a lover of anywhere tropical, and would consider myself an expert on tropical and exotic islands and beaches around the world (My personal favorites are the South Pacific like French Polynesia & Hawaii).
SE Asia is not to be discounted for far flung & beautiful beaches either, and is such a happy fun place to travel & experience culture. I also do enjoy a European adventure, especially if it includes the Mediterranean, (and my beloved Greece).
Last, I'd say I'm an expert in luxury in most destinations but specifically the Caribbean, Exotic & Private Islands, & Mediterranean properties and experiences (I have done a yacht charter). I also LOVE planning my trips around food, if I won't eat the food I won't go there!

When we started thinking about putting a group together to travel Europe, we very quickly realized that we were overwhelmed.
Carol confidently stepped in and took control. With her leadership, we were able to get 16 friends to Munich for a Danube River Cruise followed by a week in Slovenia. She arranged everything from the flights to trains, buses and accommodations.
Throughout the entire process, she provided us with invaluable tips regarding European travel. Carol made this such a simple process that we already booked a group of 14+ for next year and are beginning to plan for the year after.
If you are having any concerns regarding group travel, all you need to do is call Carol and she will make it happen.
