Have you been trying to plan your travel by yourself and realized that it takes hours and hours, and it's easy to go in circles? That's where we come in!
As an avid traveler, I have personally visited 54 countries. Travel has remained my consistent passion since my first trip abroad, backpacking across Europe at age 22, and I have continued to travel all over the world. I earned my Travel Agent Certificate 30 years ago, and worked in higher education as the Executive Director of Global Education. I would be thrilled to share my knowledge and love of travel with you!

Did you know I am a River Cruise Expert, trained in Europe? In Amsterdam, I completed a highly selective 10-day immersive training that took place ON the boats themselves. It's the highest level of river cruise training a travel advisor can attain!
River cruising is exploding in popularity for good reason. It’s the perfect way to see amazing sites and relax on the river as you meander through country after country. Wonderful itineraries all over the world including France, Germany, Austria, Egypt, Vietnam, Cambodia, Colombia, and Eastern Europe! Unpack once, stunning views, and delicious food, what could be better? Imagine having your favorite luxury hotel follow you wherever you go with everything you need for the perfect vacation.
If you are thinking about booking a river cruise, I can help tailor your trip and find just the right ship and itinerary for you.

I am a River Cruise Specialist, with specific training in all the major companies. River cruising is exploding in popularity for good reason. Both serene and exciting at the same, it's the perfect way to see amazing sites and relax on the river as you meander through country after country. Wonderful itineraries all over the world. Unpack once, stunning views, delicious food, fewer people, what could be better? This is one of my favorite ways to travel and it will likely be yours, too.
One of the most relaxing ways to travel is Ocean Cruising on small, intimate ships. Unpack once, enjoy the many amenities on board the ship, eat great food, and see fantastic locations and several countries. What many people don't realize is that there are so many options and choices when it comes to cruising. It can be overwhelming to sort through all the options and varieties. I have taken specialized training in the major cruise lines that offer small ships and can help you choose the right itinerary and ship for you.
Most cruises also include a land tour. There are amazing escorted tours all over the world. Why do a land tour with a set itinerary? You can get a comprehensive tour seeing all the important sites for a very low, usually all-inclusive price. Also, you are traveling with like-minded people to enjoy the experience with. I have met some life-long friends on some of my group tours. The main benefit is the absolute ease of travel: the expert tour companies take care of all the details, leaving you to focus on experiencing the travel itself.
When it's time to relax and rejuvenate, one of the best ways to do that is to head to a luxury resort or a private villa. We have scouted out the best villas and luxury resorts all over the world, where the destination IS the resort. Luxury does not always mean expensive and you might be surprised by the overall value that luxury resorts and villas provide.

“Kyla helped book a recent trip to Iceland and Germany for our family; I will use her again next time! After not traveling much to Europe in the last 20+ years, it was extremely helpful to have her book hotels, excursions and train travel for us. I was feeling rusty and slightly nervous about our upcoming travel; Kyla was very patient and accommodating with all my last-minute questions! She was able to find hotels that were such a good fit for our preferences. I would stay in each of them again. It was the vacation of a lifetime for our family thanks to Kyla's expertise.” Kristin C., 2024
“Working with Kyla was wonderful. She responded quickly to my first inquiry. She asked the right questions in the beginning to get a sense of what my family wanted and successfully put together an itinerary that worked for us. We made a few changes and she was quick and efficient with those, as well as answers to questions I had once the itinerary was finalized. It made the trip planning and the actual travel so much more enjoyable and less stressful knowing everything was in place. Kyla is very personable, professional, honest and easy to work with.” Jill J., 2024

And well within our budget. Our excursions were great too! Working with Kyla was so easy and fun and the results were way above and beyond!!! Money very well spent!

One of the standout features of her service was her attention to detail and mindfulness of our budget, from securing our airport transfers to the ideal accommodations overlooking the breathtaking coastline to arranging our excursions, including kayaking, snorkeling, and an ATV tour.

Our group will consist mainly of women 40 and older, who want to travel internationally in small groups, and have means to travel comfortably.
