A precious couple just returned from an amazing trip to Hawaii and sent the sweetest review of their trip and their experience working with me. ❤️❤️❤️

We would like to thank Michele, at Enchanting Excursions, for planning and organizing our fabulous trip to Hawaii. It was perfect from the second we got on the airplane taking us to Hawaii to the second we very reluctantly got on the plane to come home.
Our beachside resorts on both Oahu and Kauai were perfect. We woke to spectacular sunrises while standing on the beach, and ended our evenings to the sounds of the ocean as the sunsets covered the sky in the most fabulous colors.
When we weren’t on the beach, we were enjoying the scenery on our many tours which were perfectly aligned with the “wish list” I shared with Michele. She not only planned land tours for us, but we also had 2 marvelous ocean cruise adventures that made it possible for us to see uninhabited and unblemished parts of the island.
Thank you, Michele, for once again planning and executing another dream vacation for us!

A client of mine just sent me this beautiful mug along with some chocolate she got on a recent trip to Iceland.
In Iceland, the saying on the mug represents that you are where you are meant to be- even if this isn’t where you thought you were goinf to be. The symbol is called a wayfinder.

I am so, so thankful I get to help so many travelers find their way to incredible destinations, experiences, and memories!

Here are five interesting facts about travel in Europe:

1. You Can Visit Multiple Countries in a Day – Thanks to Europe’s small size and excellent transportation network, it’s possible to have breakfast in France, lunch in Belgium, and dinner in the Netherlands, all in one day! High-speed trains and budget airlines make country-hopping easy.

2. Schengen Zone Has No Border Checks – The Schengen Agreement allows passport-free travel between 27 European countries, making travel between them as seamless as traveling between U.S. states. However, some non-Schengen countries, like the U.K. and Ireland, still require border checks.

3. The World’s Most Visited City Is in Europe – Paris consistently ranks as the most visited city in the world, attracting millions of tourists each year. Its landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, and Notre-Dame make it an eternal favorite.

4. Europe Has Some of the World’s Oldest Hotels – The Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan in Japan is the oldest hotel in the world, but Europe has some ancient ones too. The Maids Head Hotel in England claims to date back to the 1090s, and Zum Roten Bären in Germany has been hosting guests since 1120!

5. There’s a Town Where Two Countries Share the Same Streets – Baarle, a town on the Belgium-Netherlands border, is famous for having streets, buildings, and even houses split between the two countries. Some people live in a house where the kitchen is in one country and the bedroom in another!
