Besides the northern lights and fjords, Norway offers a delectable selection of mouth-watering foods - foods that you probably have not tried before. Because Norweigans love adventure, food is no exception. For example, every residential Norwegian forages, and you can do the same as well on your Norway holiday. That is why I often suggest that travelers visiting Norway go on a foraging tour in August or September. That is when the hedgerows are in full bloom and prized porcini mushrooms can be easily found. However, never pick mushrooms without a guide to help. That is why a foraging tour is a must-do activity. You can also pick dew-sparkling amber berries, cloudberries, and lingonberries in places such as Hardangervidda and Rondane. Also, Husmanskost is a hearty and inviting lunch you will love - open sandwiches that feature sourdough or rye bread, topped with charcuterie, veggies, or seafood. You can savor the cuisine in places, such as the Havariet Bistro in Oslofjord. Classic dinner dishes include unique and succulent foods, such as elk meatballs and reindeer stew, also called finnbiff. Enjoy these evening staples in places, such as the Elgustua Guesthouse in East Norway. When you eat that type of delicious food, you will need to find ways to work off the calories, and Norway has plenty of activities in which you can take part. One of the popular activities of the country, naturally, is skiing. The word, "ski," itself comes from the Old Norse language. Many Norweigans assert that they had skis on their feet when they were born. Therefore, if you want to ski, you will find Norway to be a skiers paradise. You can hit the powder in winter or ski down a glacier during the summer. An exciting adventure always waits in this cold yet warm Scandinavian country. I would like to serve as your travel agent planner for Norway, as I know you will love your trip, regardless of when you choose to travel. Give me a call so we can go over all the exciting details now!

Thailand Travel Agent Professional
Thailand is a magical country with breathtaking scenery, friendly locals and delicious food. It’s not surprising that it continues to attract an ever-increasing number of tourists each year. Its tropical climate, beaches and rainforests are just some of its natural wonders which continue to make Thailand an appealing holiday destination. That is why I love representing Thailand as a travel agent professional. I love making people’s travel dreams come true. Thailand is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia and with good reason. It’s home to an abundance of natural beauty, fascinating culture and cuisine, and, again, to some of the friendliest people you could ever meet. The country sees a high volume of tourists throughout the year, but it still remains an extremely hot destination from June to September. So, I often plan travel to the country when the weather is more temperate, or when the activities allow travelers to cool off from the humidity and heat. The Weather in Thailand The weather in Thailand is tropical year round. Thailand’s coastal areas enjoy warm temperatures throughout the year and usually remain above 70°F even during the winter months. In contrast, the mainland experiences more extreme weather conditions. Thailand’s rainy season usually lasts from May to October, but it varies by location. During this time, it’s common to see a lot of rain, especially in the southern parts of the country. Therefore, I can plan a trip for you that takes the weather into account, so you can enjoy your visit - whenever you plan to go. The Culture Shock Visiting Thailand can be an eye-opening experience. The country welcomes millions of tourists each year, but Thailand has a very different culture from what we are used to in the United States. Nevertheless, that is what makes visiting Thailand a unique and wonderful experience. It allows you to see the world from another perspective. Visit the Floating Market, attend a Muay Thai fight, or learn how to use chopsticks from a Thai chef. These are just some of the many activities that make for an exciting trip. Escorted Tours in Thailand I frequently suggest taking an escorted tour if you’ve never visited Thailand. These tours are designed to make your trip easy, convenient, and enjoyable. There are many escorted tours in Thailand, so I can find one that is ideal for you. Tours are also designed for different durations, so you can choose one that matches your schedule and travel preferences. Why Now is a Good Time to See Thailand There are many reasons why now is a good time to visit Thailand. Here are some of them: (1) Thailand is a top honeymoon destination. (2) The value of the Thai Baht against the US dollar has remained relatively stable in recent years. This makes the country more affordable for American tourists. (3) Thailand, together with its neighbors in Southeast Asia, is experiencing a tourism boom. There are more people visiting the region than ever before. The country is also working on new attractions and events to attract even more tourists. Top Places to visit in Thailand
(1) Bangkok - This is the best place to start your trip. Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand and the country’s most populated area. It is also one of the most visited cities in the region.
(2) Koh Samui -
Koh Samui is an island just off the coast of Thailand and a popular tourist escape.

Excellent Customer Service
Stoddard is a wonderful travel agent who provides outstanding customer service!
I initially contacted Stoddard via email. He reached out to me that very same day via phone and email. I spoke with him at length that afternoon and explained that we want to go on a 10-12 day trip to Switzerland. Before I went to bed that evening, he sent over a full itinerary which included flights, hotels, some meals, and recommendations for how to spend our time. All of this came in under our budget. Everything that Stoddard picked was fabulous, but since we had some extra money we added an extra night and made one or two upgrades. Stoddard was patient, friendly, and responsive throughout all of our interactions, and he always gave his honest opinion when we asked him for his input. It's evident that he knows Switzerland very well!! Our trip is now officially booked and we could not be more excited!
I highly recommend using Stoddard to plan your next vacation. He will not disappoint!!

First time getting away in many years, newlyweds on our post-honeymoon vacation somewhere we knew nothing about, and Stoddard immediately got a great trip together, along with all the experience he had living there a few years. Never used an agent before, not to mention a specialist like Stoddard. Talked me through the options, send example, settled on a 14 day trip, and it was awesome... Thanks Stoddard !

Stoddard was a fantastic representative that provided us with a once in a life time trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives. His attention to detail and communication were impeccable, and he did everything he could to ensure we had the most amazing experience ever. I can't recommend his services enough and I refer him to friends and family all of the time. I know they share my feelings as well, based on their experiences working with Stoddard. I can't recommend him enough.
