We have so many more talented advisors covering all parts of the world. Cheers to us!!

From my clients who just returned from Germany!
“The hotels were wonderful and all in great locations. The length of time in each city was just right and gave us enough time to get a feel for the country. Thanks!”

Happy Easter to all of my Greek friends! I learned a lot about Greek Easter while I was there, the traditions and plans for the weekend. In Corfu they throw terra cotta jars from balconies to ward off evil and it is serious business. The pastries….so good!

My longing for luxury travel and tourism began as a young girl when my family of seven would go on camping trips and cram into one big tent. We would sometimes wake up soaking wet because the crowded environment caused them to lean too close to the walls and rain would seep in. It was then that I decided, “There HAS to be something better than this.” I soon figured out that not everyone was camping and turned her eye toward the beautiful resorts dotting the coastlines.
My love for traveling abroad began when my husband and I decided to get married in Rome, Italy. The very first morning of my very first trip to Europe I woke up early and, with a cappuccino in hand, watched the sun rise over Positano Italy. The rest is history. I returned home and began studying Italian and am now travel fluent after several years of classes and private lessons.
I have worked in various capacities of the travel industry throughout the years. Early in my career I helped develop tourism sales with the LaPorte County Convention & Visitors Bureau, then worked in special events for The Drake Hotel and Bloomingdales in Chicago.
After children, I continued honing my skills by chairing my children’s school auction and volunteering for various school committees. Most recently, I worked on special projects for Mayflower Tours & Cruises and as an event manager for On The Scene Chicago, a Chicago Destination Management Company.
As the daughter-in-law of the recently retired owners of Mayflower Tours & Cruises, I have had the opportunity to personally experience a wide range of European River Cruises, most recently the Paris to Champagne Region Marne Canal cruise for which she served as Tour Director for a small private group.
I truly believe that travel experiences create memories that last a lifetime. Travel brings families together in this day and age when it is increasingly difficult to put electronics down and actually talk to one another, especially when your children leave their electronics on planes, trains or in small hill towns in the Italian countryside.
I lives in Glen Ellyn, IL, just west of Chicago with my husband and three children. Planning travel experiences brings me joy and something to look forward to outside of the teenage environment in my home.
My travel over the years have taken me on European River Cruises on the Seine, Blue Danube, Rhine, Mosel, Douro and the Marne Canal. Carrie has traveled extensively through Italy and has a thorough knowledge of Rome, Paris, Lisbon and Amsterdam. I have also had a passion for wine country and have traveled to Napa Valley, Santa Barbara Wine Country and Paso Robles in California, along with the wine regions of Portugal, Italy, Germany and France. Stateside, I have personally experienced many parts of the United States including Chicago, New York City, the Florida Panhandle and St. Petersburg in Florida, Hilton Head, Aspen, Yellowstone National Park, The Grand Tetons and Hawaii.
