When I initially was asked to design and manage biking trips, I had two concerns. How far could anyone possibly ride a bike after a wine tasting? And secondly, was there a spa or shopping nearby for those who did not want to bike 25 (give or take) miles on any given day? When I found out electric bikes would solve both of those issues, I was hooked. 

Two close-to-home escapes that I love to design for clients is a week on Necker Island or a private chartered-yacht vacation.

It’s been said that everything is bigger in Texas, and as my home, I might add… it’s better, too!  I can’t think of a better place to escape in style than to a stunning and spectacular resort outside of Austin and near the Texas Hill Country. 

Sometimes us Northeasterners forget that we don’t have to hop on a plane and cross an ocean to find adventure, relaxation, great food and simple joys in our own backyard. 

I, and the entire team at Culture Traveler, are regularly asked: “Is there a way, during this pandemic, to travel with peace of mind?"

Come along with me… on a 3-day or 3-week totally personalized California Roadtrip. This is my territory and I want you to see it and love it as I do.

You can experience a landscape like no other, admire the stars and the Milky Way without any light pollution and learn what true silence really feels like.

As a life-long Californian, I have first-hand knowledge and expertise in recommending and planning holidays in three major regions of our beautiful state

The Silver Origin by Silversea Cruises has arrived as a first destination-specific built ship providing the height of experiential travel in the Galapagos, and now is a great time to make this close-to-home, yet other-worldly, destination a priority.

The Pacific Northwest is my playground and home. I have lived in Seattle for over 20 years and love exploring our region in all seasons.

Prior to meeting my husband, we had both traveled extensively, so it’s always a fun process to narrow down our next romantic getaway, finding that balance of exploring new places together and returning to share the charm of old favorites.

In addition to planning vacations for couples, singles and families of all sizes, crafting group travel experiences, such as women only getaways or special interest groups, is a passion of mine and a specialty of the team at Carol’s Travel. 

International travel plans changed so instead I travelled across the United States and have been fortunate to visit some amazing places during the last few months. 

The process to get to know you as a couple, figure out what your “dream vision” of a honeymoon or destination wedding looks like, and make that come true, is very similar to how I help clients plan all of their Blissful Vacations, whether that be a romantic getaway, family vacation or adventure to foreign lands.
