Typically, when a student graduates high school, they get a graduation party. This student decided they’d rather take a graduation trip… to Croatia & Italy! I think they are wise beyond their years!

These repeat clients wanted to experience Ireland with buddies from high school, so they contacted me to plan a trip for 7 across Ireland. The two pictured above were also celebrating a milestone anniversary, so they extended their trip to Northern Ireland and Scotland.

This year was my first Travel with Kara group trip ever, and it was such a fun time! We traveled through Ireland and Northern Ireland, with a free day in Dublin for St. Patrick’s Day. With 15 travelers plus myself, it was a perfect size to get to know each other and enjoy each other’s company.

A good trip with a sister deserves another, and these sisters had taken a trip to Italy together in the past and wanted to do another one, this time to Portugal! They enjoy taking escorted tours, joining with a guide and getting the benefit of not having to think about the logistics much when they are there. They decided on a Globus itinerary and were not disappointed.

For this client and his son, they had been dreaming of Croatia for years but had not had the opportunity to make it reality. I crafted a tailor-made itinerary based on what their interests were, and they had a wonderful time. They explored Zagreb, Pula, Split, Mostar, and Dubrovnik!

This is a trip that I got to take myself and it was phenomenal. I spent some time in the Azores (an island chain west of Portugal in the Atlantic Ocean) and a couple days in Lisbon. While it wasn’t high season in either location, both were amazing and had some really cool things I saw.

Another pair of winners to see the Paralympics (see previous post), and they also made the smart choice to use me to plan an extension to their trip! They decided they wanted to see southern Europe more than London & Ireland, though, with Italy & Croatia being their bucket list choices.

Getting to see portions of the Paralympics is something most people don’t get to say they’ve done, however these clients can! They won tickets from their work for a few days at the Paris Paralympics and decided to extend their trip to London & Ireland afterwards. While the Paralympic portion was taken care of by corporate, the rest of the trip was up to them, and they decided to use me to plan it - smart choice!

Italy has been a popular destination this year - you’ve probably noticed this if you look back at posts, and guess what: you’ll see another post coming in the next few days as well! This trip was for a family of 4 who wanted to experience Italy (and their first family trip to Europe) for the first time.

I really love planning family trips. I especially love families that are adventurous and think outside the box, like this family. They decided to see Coldplay in Düsseldorf, and then created a whole vacation around that! They hit up Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, Zürich, Sorrento, and Rome on their trip.

While Italy is definitely a top country I get requests to plan trips for, this couple dived a little deeper than most of my clients do. They wanted to see some of the more obscure churches and sites of Rome that many pass by unnoticed. They also decided to stay in Cinque Terre for a bit, and check out the town (and cathedral) of Assisi. They enjoyed the Accademia in Florence, and finished off in Como for a relaxing stay on the lake.

The Baltic countries - a less traveled portion of Europe - called to my client. He usually prefers more active trips (hiking and a bit more strenuous than city tour walks), but he couldn’t pass up an opportunity to see Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, as well as Finland and Sweden.

Repeat clients are the best… and it’s even better when they’ve added to the family! That’s the case with these amazing clients of mine and their newest addition. Their journey was quick, but it was really just a test run anyways, so that was ok with them. The best news? Baby did great!

These ladies were in their senior year of college when they reached out to me, hoping that I could help them plan their trip to the United Kingdom & Ireland. They were going in late May/early June, and wanted to spend close to 3 weeks abroad. They had modest budgets and hopes of exploring as they felt led. Their parents, however, were not as keen on that idea, and enlisted my help.

I don’t play favorites with clients but I do have some favorite itineraries that clients have picked. This one is definitely in that list. These clients are a family of 3, parents of a teenager, and they know how to knock bucketlist items off said bucketlist. This time, they decided to hit Paris, Italy, and the pyramids in Egypt off their list in one fell swoop!

My clients decided to do a final trip of 2023 to Spain to use up some airline credits before they expired (PS - I can totally help you plan the land portion if you want to use up credits from an airline!). They were fairly open to where to go within Spain (as long as they got to see many art museums and the area around Seville. They even got to go to a Real Madrid football match!

Who doesn’t love a superfan of a sports team? These clients LOVE the Minnesota Wild, but they’ve moved away from the frozen tundra that is MN to the east coast, and don’t get to go to games often anymore. One of them has Swedish heritage, so when it was announced that the Wild would be playing a couple games in Stockholm, they jumped on those tickets and called me to plan a trip for them!
