I absolutely love every unique region Italy has to offer, but there is something special about the Riviera, especially Cinque Terre and Portofino. Every visit to this region is unforgettable. From the vibrant colors of the cliffside villages to the luxurious charm of Portofino’s harbor, there is something magical about this coastal region. Cinque Terre is Italian for 5 lands. It is a A UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its villages are Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. These villages are renowned for their breathtaking landscapes, terraced vineyards, and crystal-clear waters. Whether you’re looking to hike the rugged trails between the villages, savor authentic Ligurian cuisine, or simply relax by the sea, there really is something for everyone here. I am partial to Riomaggiore; its sunset views cannot be beat. Portofino is a destination near and dear to my heart because my Italian grandmother visited when I was young and her pictures were breathtaking. Portofino is famous for its picturesque harbor and upscale ambiance. Whether you want to explore hidden coves, indulge in a wine-tasting tour, or immerse yourself in the cultural history of the region, I am here to create a customized itinerary tailored to your preferences. Let me take care of the logistics, so you can focus on making memories that will last a lifetime. The Italian Riviera is a destination you won't forget.

Iceland Travel Agent Expert The Natural Beauty of Iceland is Otherworldly
Iceland holds a special place in my heart. I’m awestruck by the natural beauty that seems otherworldly. Iceland is a land where nature reigns supreme, where waterfalls cascade, and the landscape shifts between striking green valleys, crystal-clear blue lagoons, and rugged volcanic terrain. Each time I visit, I’m reminded of how unique and unparalleled this place is—there’s simply nowhere else on Earth like it. One of my most unforgettable moments in Iceland happened at Skógafoss, a massive waterfall that stands tall and powerful, its spray creating a magical mist that fills the air. As I stood there, camera in hand, I witnessed something truly extraordinary: a rainbow arching perfectly over the waterfall. I felt deeply connected to the beauty of the world around me. That photo—of the rainbow glowing over Skógafoss—remains one of my most cherished memories, and every time I look at it, I’m reminded of the magic that Iceland holds. For anyone who’s never been, Iceland is a feast for the senses. Waterfalls are one of the country’s defining features, and they are everywhere you look. From the iconic Gullfoss, with its golden glacial waters, to the hidden gem of Seljalandsfoss, which you can actually walk behind, there’s something enchanting about the constant presence of flowing water. For nature lovers, there’s truly no better place to experience the raw power and beauty of the natural world. But Iceland is more than just waterfalls. Everywhere you turn, there are striking contrasts of color—endless green landscapes set against deep blue skies, dotted with snow-capped mountains and craggy volcanic rocks. The lush, moss-covered fields are in stark contrast to the black sand beaches that line the coast, creating a visual masterpiece that leaves you feeling like you’ve stepped into another world. One of my favorite ways to experience Iceland is by road. The famous Ring Road that circles the country is an adventure in itself, offering unparalleled access to some of the most stunning scenery in the world. You can drive for miles without seeing another car, only the wide-open landscapes and the occasional herd of Icelandic horses trotting by. Each bend in the road reveals something new—whether it’s a hidden waterfall, a picturesque fjord, or a geothermal hot spring bubbling up from the earth. Speaking of hot springs, the Blue Lagoon is a must-see for any visitor. This geothermal spa, with its milky blue waters, is not only visually stunning but also a relaxing way to unwind after a day of exploring. There’s something magical about sitting in those warm waters, surrounded by black lava rocks, with steam rising into the crisp Icelandic air. It’s a surreal experience that can’t be found anywhere else.What sets Iceland apart for me is how untouched and pristine it feels. While many places in the world have been shaped by human hands, Iceland feels like it’s been carved out by nature alone. Whether you’re standing at the edge of a glacier or gazing across a volcanic crater, you get the sense that the land itself is ancient and powerful, holding stories that date back millions of years. For travelers seeking adventure, Iceland offers endless opportunities. Hiking through Þingvellir National Park, snorkeling between the tectonic plates at Silfra, or trekking across glaciers are just a few of the activities that await. And for those who visit during the winter months, there’s the added bonus of witnessing the ethereal Northern Lights. There’s nothing quite like watching those green and purple hues dance across the sky, a sight that leaves you speechless every time.One of the things I love most about Iceland is that it’s perfect for all kinds of travelers. Whether you’re a solo adventurer looking to connect with nature, a couple seeking a romantic getaway, or a family in search of unforgettable experiences, Iceland has something for everyone. And while the country’s natural wonders are its main draw, the warmth and hospitality of its people only add to the appeal. Icelanders are proud of their country and eager to share its beauty with visitors, and their genuine love for the land is contagious. Whether you want to explore the popular Golden Circle, with its geysers and waterfalls, or venture off the beaten path to find your own hidden gems, I’m here to make it happen. One of the best pieces of advice I can give to anyone considering a trip to Iceland is to keep your eyes open and your camera ready—because in Iceland, beauty is everywhere. That's why I’m so passionate about encouraging others to experience this extraordinary destination for themselves. In a world that’s constantly busy and connected, Iceland offers a chance to disconnect, slow down, and reconnect with nature. Iceland is more than just a destination—it’s an experience, a journey into a world of beauty and wonder that will stay with you long after you’ve returned home.

An Amazing Anniversary in Mexico!
My husband and I recently celebrated our 15th anniversary with a dream trip to Mexico, and we have Emily to thank for making it unforgettable! We knew we wanted something special, and Emily delivered beyond our expectations. She recommended Tulum and Akumal, and it was the perfect mix of stunning beaches, rich history, and vibrant culture. From lounging on the soft sands and swimming in the clear blue waters to exploring the ancient Mayan ruins, every moment felt magical.

Choosing between Hawaii’s islands felt impossible—until we found Emily. She created an in-depth guide outlining what each island had to offer, making our decision so much easier. Her knowledge was incredible, breaking down everything from top activities and beaches to the vibe of each location.
Thanks to her, we landed on Maui and the Big Island, and it was the perfect fit. She handled all the logistics—flights, resorts, rental cars, and excursions—so we could just relax and enjoy.
Emily’s attention to detail and passion for travel made this the easiest trip we’ve ever planned. If you’re struggling to decide on a destination, she’s the expert you need!

Emily’s passion for California made all the difference in planning our road trip. She’s been there countless times and knew everything—hidden gems, the best coastal drives, where to stay, and even the best local food spots. Her excitement was contagious, and her expertise made planning a breeze.
She mapped out the perfect route, from San Francisco down the Pacific Coast Highway to Big Sur, Santa Barbara, and San Diego. She gave us tips on must-see spots in Yosemite and Napa. Every detail was covered, so all we had to do was enjoy the ride.
If you want a travel agent who truly knows her destinations and cares about your experience, Emily is the best.

When we decided to take a trip out west to explore the national parks, we had no idea where to start. With so many options—Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Bryce Canyon, Zion, and more—we were completely overwhelmed. That’s where Emily came in, and we could not have done it without her!
Emily was incredibly patient as we sorted through different routes, park passes, and lodging options. She crafted the perfect itinerary for Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons that balanced adventure with relaxation, ensuring we got to see the must-visit spots without feeling rushed. She even helped us secure hard-to-book accommodations inside the parks, which made all the difference in our experience.
From rental car logistics to hidden hiking trail recommendations, Emily thought of everything. Her attention to detail made this trip stress-free and unforgettable.
We’ve worked with travel agents before, but none as dedicated and knowledgeable as Emily. If you’re planning a trip—whether it’s a city escape

Our Dream Vacation Made a Reality
Planning a big trip can be overwhelming, but thanks to Emily, our vacation was absolutely perfect! We had so many ideas and so many questions, but Emily was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, helped us narrow down our destination (we landed on Italy!), and crafted an itinerary that was beyond anything we could have imagined.
From flights to hotels to must-see sights, Emily handled every detail with care and expertise. She even helped us navigate last-minute changes with ease, ensuring that our trip stayed stress-free. Her recommendations—like a private food tour in Rome and a hidden gem of a winery in Tuscany—made all the difference.
I’ve never worked with a travel agent who was so dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our trip amazing. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for you, Emily is the best!
Thank you for everything! ?
