We just got back from a 7-day cruise along the Douro River in Portugal. Spectacular views, amazing wine, timeless architecture and the best part- your floating hotel provides access to small villages along the way. I'd love to introduce you to this unique type of vacation. For more info, email me at [email protected].

As the world opens back up to traveling, have you ever considered taking a river cruise? It it a wonderful way to “dip your toes” back into far-off destinations while enjoying a small ship with a manageable passenger capacity (typically fewer than 300).

We had the opportunity to cruise down the Rhine from Amsterdam to Basal, Switzerland. We loved being able to dock in the towns we visited, see the area at a slower pace and participate in small group tours led by such knowledgeable guides. The added perk is that it is all included in your vacation.

Let’s hear from those of you who have taken a river cruise. Where did you go? What did you most enjoy?

I’d love to help you plan your next vacation. Feel free to email me at [email protected].

When traveling, whether in the US or abroad, a visit to a farmer's market is a cherished outing . One of our favorites was during our visit to Istanbul. Ahh - the vibrant colors of fresh-picked produce; the aroma of spices; the freshly-baked breads and of course, the meat and poultry! Have you visited a farmer's market in your travels? If so, let us know where and what made it so memorable.

In addition to travel, I have a true passion for photography (all of my postings include photos I have taken!). When I am behind the camera lens, I am given a unique perspective of the architecture and culture that surrounds me.

A "must-do" for me is to reserve a day with a local photographer while exploring new places. Not only do I have a personal instructor critiquing my work but I learn so much about the area from someone who lives there.

The photos below are from our trip to Portugal during a magical day with Miguel at Lisbon Photos. What is something you "must-do" when visiting someplace new?

One of my favorite ways to experience a country is through its food. When traveling, Dave and I make sure a food tour is on our agenda. Not only have we sampled some amazing dishes, but we have explored neighborhoods and met people who have shared their stories with us.

When traveling, what is on your "must do" itinerary?

While many may feel it is not the best time to travel, it is the perfect time to consider where your next amazing vacation will be.

Rather than generate a "bucket list" (the name implies that the goal is to simply check-off each item and it's done), I prefer to dream about the many places I long to explore.

One of those destinations was Copenhagen - a magical city that introduced Dave and me to Scandinavia. I just loved capturing the architecture in photos, bicycling through the many neighborhoods, and of course, sampling Danish dishes while on a tour led by a local foodie.

What is a dream destination that you long to explore?

I love to travel! Whether it is a weekend getaway or traveling across the seas, I am in my happy place. Beyond the actual travel, the planning of each trip brings me such joy. Creating an itinerary that taps into my love of photography, food and culture leads to amazing travel experiences.

I have now taken that passion and become a travel advisor, hoping to work with clients who share my "travel bug" and assist them in the planning of a most memorable travel experience.
