I am passionate about traveling to experience the world and spending time in unique places wherever I am.  I enjoy designing trips that will make your dream vacation a reality and become one of your most memorable moments. I specialize in Independent travel uniquely designed for you wherever it is that you choose to experience the world and it's beauty and wonders.


I have been in the Travel Industry for over 25 years, have had many wonderful travel experiences, some turned out better than others, but each one created a special memory for me.  I have extensive experience in designing incredible and memorable experiences.  I look forward to helping you to experience unique opportunities that will create lasting memories for you..


I have traveled extensively throughout Europe, Africa,Taiwan, China, the Philippines, Australia, Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada and the United States. I have visited the Galapagos Islands, traveled throughout Ecuador and cruised in Europe, the Caribbean and Alaska.


I have experienced a Turkish Bath, and it was something I will never forget! I spent a night in the town of Sirince in Turkey, it was beautiful and peaceful there compared to the busyness of Istanbul. As for shopping, the Grand Bazaar has something for everyone! Five nights in the Greek isles were pure heaven followed by 2 in Athens where history comes alive! As I stood in the original Olympic stadium I could almost hear the crowds roar.  


I have stood on the plains in Kenya and watched lion cubs at play, been close enough to reach out and touch elephants, held a baby kangaroo in Australia and in the Northern Territory, found out what it is like to really have flies every where! In the Galapagos I was close enough to kiss the seals. 


In addition to leisure travel, I also do corporate travel for clients who need my assistance with their business travel needs.


 

Introducing you to the world!

I love it when my clients introduce me to their friends and family who also have a passion for travel and experiencing the world. I promise to take very good care of my clients and will treat you as family.

Perfect travel experience
Cindy has done a great job coordinating multiple European vacations for us over the years. These trips have involved booking as many as 10 hotels on one trip, securing airline and train reservations, arranging for rental cars, providing museum and transit passes, etc....Cindy handles it all accurately and with ease. She is pleasant, responsive, and makes a real effort to understand our wants and needs. I can't imagine planning a major vacation without her!

Once in a lifetime!
Cindy was wonderful.When I first talked to her, she was very patient and answered the many questions I had. The next time I asked how much more would it be for an ocean front room. Just a short time later she called back with the amount of $525.We did up grade to an ocean front room, which was totally worth it!
After a long trip, at check in, I was told our room was in a section behind the main building, it had an awkward view of the water. The clerk insisted it was an ocean front room! He asked for an additional $207.00 for a better room. I paid it, as this was a once in a lifetime trip for me. I would deal with this issue when I got home.
I contacted Cindy via email, and told her what happened. She assured me that the additional $525.00 I had paid extra was for the ocean front room,not the room I was offered and she would check into it. She contacted the hotel and indeed it was an overcharge. I just found out today that my refund will be in the bank in a few days! Thanks Cindy!

Amazing 40th Wedding Anniversary trip to Boston!
Cindy was very friendly and knowledgable about the area we wanted to visit. She was also very patient with me since I am an inexperienced traveler! She went the extra mile to give us so many recommendations of things we could see or do on our trip too! I also appreciated her contacting me after our trip to see how everything turned out!

An amazing trip to a remote destination
Cindy went above and beyond what was expected to get me from Minnesota to a remote location in the Sinai Peninsula for a 14 day desert expedition.
