Are you piecing together your European travel plans from multiple sources?
It’s a puzzle that can leave you second-guessing every step.

Spending hours scouring blogs and reviews eats up your precious time.
What works for one traveler’s dream trip might not fit your family’s unique needs.

The overwhelm hits when you realize one-size-fits-all plans miss the mark.
Your kids’ energy or your tight schedule deserves a tailored touch, not a generic route.

Fall might be the most ideal time for a European vacation.

Let me explain.

Autumn allows you to enjoy a more efficient trip.

Less crowds, means less time spent wasted standing in line.

Imagine seeing the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Vatican Museums in a single day. With time still left over to enjoy an espresso at an Italian cafe.

Picture your family visiting London, Paris and Amsterdam in one trip. Because you saved enough money over summer time to add a couple of extra days to your trip.

If you want to skip the summer heat in Europe. Fall is an amazing alternative to get more out of our trip.

Want to make sure you have an incredible fall journey?

Let me know in the comments which European country you want to visit in autumn.

Many popular European attractions or towns offer souvenir stamps. Like Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin.

These can be a fun family travel momento, especially for the kids. However, they could derail your trip.

Souvenir stamps should not be put into your official passport. These are not official government stamps and render your passport invalid.

If a border official finds one of these in your passport they can deny you entry to your destination. Putting you on a plane back home, before your family vacation even starts.

If you want a novelty passport stamp, don’t use your official passport. Use either an old passport or purchase a souvenir passport.

Have you ever received a souvenir passport?

Wondering what a travel advisor really brings to the table for your next adventure? Let’s break it down.

Here’s what they do to make your trip shine:

↳ Dig up all the alluring details, like which Florence café has the best espresso.

↳ Tailor your getaway to you, think a quiet fjord kayak over a packed cruise ship.

↳ Save you hours of scrolling, because who’s got time to sift through 50 tabs of conflicting reviews?

↳ Share local know-how, like the best time to hit Prague’s Charles Bridge without the selfie-stick mob.

↳ Nudge you to book those must-have tickets, like the Alhambra before they’re gone.

And here’s what they don’t do:

↳ Slash prices below what you’d find online, sorry, no secret discounts here!

↳ Book just a flight and call it a day, that’s too basic.

↳ Map out every single second, your spontaneous gelato stop is still on you.

↳ Push only big group tours, because who wants to be packed on a bus with a group of strangers?

A travel advisor’s your shortcut to a trip that’s less stress, more wow.

Planning a family trip to Europe is a time-consuming process. It can feel like a second job.

Picture this: While planning, you’ve got 20 tabs open, a spreadsheet for train times. And a headache from reading conflicting TripAdvisor reviews.

By the time you board the plane, you’re already exhausted. And the trip hasn’t even started.

Now imagine this instead: You’re sipping espresso in a Florence café. While your perfectly planned itinerary unfolds without you lifting a finger.

Your European getaway should spark joy, not dread. And it shouldn’t end in burnout.

If your family’s Europe trip planning feels like a second job I’m here to show it doesn’t have to.

REAL ID requirements start May 7th.

Do you have the right documentation, or are you still scrambling to figure out what you need?

Travel’s a whirlwind, and just when you think you’ve got it down, something shifts.

- new rules
- new forms
- new headaches

Keeping up with the constant changes feels like a second job.

�📌 Rules Move Fast: You’re set for a London getaway, but then the UK tweaks its entry forms, and you’re stuck Googling at midnight to avoid a visa snafu.

�📌 Crowds Shift: You planned to hit the Vatican Museums, but the Pope passes away, turning a fun Rome adventure into a crowded mess.

�📌 Nature’s Wild Card: A landslide in Norway shuts down the Trollstigen road to Geirangerfjord, or volcanic ash closes Iceland’s Blue Lagoon, leaving you stranded or rerouting.

Understanding what could change and being on top of those changes is key to ensuring your travel experience is still the experience you desire.

Some of my favorites from our recent trip to Italy.

Luckily we were there before the massive crowds arrived in Rome (although there were still a ton of people there).

Ever come back from a trip to Europe, only to see a post about an incredible spot you completely missed?

I know I have. And every time, I think—if only I had known about it before my trip, I could have added it to my itinerary.

Do you find yourself sitting in your hotel room, wasting precious time figuring out which castle to visit or where to eat?

Which begs the question…

If you spent your entire trip deciding what to do next, did you really get to experience your destination?

Wouldn’t you rather spend your limited time actually enjoying the adventure—not stressing over logistics late at night or first thing in the morning?

Here’s the truth:

✅ Planning ahead doesn’t mean scheduling every minute.
✅ It means knowing your destination before you arrive.

You already know which train gets you to the Tower of London and which one takes you to Abbey Road.
You know where locals in Porto go for a francesinha—and what time to beat the crowds.
You know when to line up for the Vatican Museums on the last Sunday of the month for free entry.

And yes, learning all that takes time. But you don’t have to do it alone. With some help you can be sure you don't miss out on your next Europe trip.

Comment "Guide" and I'll send you a guide to get started planning your two week trip to Europe!
