Dawn

Trip to Italy

We have been using Susan for years and have nothing but good things to say. Whether it’s a ski trip out West or our most recent trip to Africa, she seems to find great properties and activities. She’s a good listener and will customize the trip to the needs of our family and young kids. She also always seems to find hotels, resorts, or outfitters that we could never find on our own. Definitely makes you realize the value of a travel advisor.

Tracy

Africa Adventure

Susan is very easy to work with. It is obvious that she wants to make your trip one that is fantastic, unique and memorable ! This is my second time using her and both times were excellent. She addresses any issues immediately even if you are overseas on the trip! Susan is a true professional who has real knowledge of where she is sending you to and off the beaten path excursions that are very cool and very different. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone who is serious about travel and looking for a memorable experience !
